    I've noticed that when I'm not able to ride for a few days, the front disc
    brake seems to get a light layer of oxidization on it and it rubs whenever
    I'm pushing the bike out of the garage. After a ride and use of the brake a
    few times, this rubbing goes away, until the next time. Is this normal? Is
    there something I can or should be doing to maintain the disc so this
    doesn't occur? Thanks for any help you can give.

    Best I can tell that is somewhat normal if you are using cast-iron
    rotors.

    It doesn't seem to hurt the rotors or the pads any as long as they
    aren't warped.

    Can't say for sure. My bike never sets around like that.
