Hmmm,
I need parka and snow boots, LOL! My AC is all cleaned and covered up.
Furnace is tuned, humidifier is cleaned and turned on, air cleaner
element is cleaned and checked, Stored and covered outdoor furnitures,
blew out the sprinkler, turned off all out door taps, time to wash our
dog and bring him inside during night time........ Time to set up 'mas
deco. B4 it gets too cold. Of course checked car cooling and charging
system and battery. Swap out summer tires with winter tires.(easy, we
have two sets of mounted tires)

What the heck, guys? It's at least another two months before I even
think about turning the furnace on.

The car is three years old so I may do the antifreeze, but then again, I may
not. I've often gone five+ years with the newer stuff, unlike the 50's and
60's.
The heat has already been on this year so I know it is working, put new
batteries in one of the thermostats.
Soon though, I'll be washing windows and putting the screens up and storm
window down, kitchen and bathroom are last for that.
The snowblower gets pulled to the front of the garage, the lawnmower to the
back.

This is something I struggle with too...whether or not
it is even necessary to change antifreeze every year!
