Pre-winter status check

Last winter, I found myself behind the 8-ball as the first snow flew and our home’s exterior was still in summertime mode. Not so this year, thanks to a conveniently-placed GM holiday and some totally-decent weather. After a morning spent with a friend walking his hunting property, I set to work…

The first order of business was doing the semi-annual “shed exchange” … where the golf clubs, outdoor furniture and lawnmower go in – and the snowblower comes out. Of course, with the snowblower’s reappearance also comes the necessity for an oil change – and with that, the necessity for a trip to the gas station to get some 5W-30.

Now, it’s time to pull the bikes down into the basement, install the front storm door and – if I’m feeling brave – venture up to the roof to blow out the gutters.

[I think this post most squarely resides in the "free to disregard" portion of this blog's tagline! But hey, it's NaBloPoMo and I missed yesterday...]
