Fall back!
Tonight’s the night to change your clocks if you live in the USA.
While you’re at it, do a few other things.
- change the batteries in your smoke detectors
- change the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors
- check the charge in your fire extinguishers (look at the gauge)
- disconnect and blow out your dryer hose (dryer lint is a fire hazard)
- change your furnace filter
- check your thermostat for an appropriate temperature and check the setback times if you have a setback thermostat
- remove your showerhead and soak it in vinegar water to get rid of the mineral deposits
- vacuum out the car (and the trunk)
- make sure you have a scraper/brush, a spare set of gloves, and a blanket in each car
- swap out the screen door for the storm door (note: take the screen out before the trick-or-treaters come, and put the storm door in the next day – one less door to open, and the kids freak out when your hand comes out unexpectedly)
