Getting ready for winter.

Getting ready for winter.
What is your drill for prepping for winter?

You S. California and other fair weather areas needn't rub it in. Next time you have a drought and your state is on fire, we'll go easy on you.


Here - take the window shakers out.
         - move the woodshed ( on wheels) up to the house and fill it with firewood.
  ---  drain out the lawnmower, weed whacker, irrigation pump engines of gasoline, and start them up and run them dry. ( Using " fuel stabilizer" is a dumbassed game that may or may not work. Running stuff dry worked 100% of the time)
Get the hunting blind ready for deer hunting. ( Nov 15)
Put away the patio furniture.
Get the snowblower down from the loft (I have an overhead crane in the barn that Makes storing stuff in the old hay lofts a breeze) and get it serviced.

The last two are all that' s left.

Oh you know.

Burn The bodies.
Rally The men.
Assume command.
Send my best friend off to The library.
Get myself killed.
Get myself ressurected
Woe The hot Chick with The dragons.

Then i'm not really sure what comes next.

Nothing. I rent my house and I have an AWD jeep. We keep three shovels here. The landlord discounts our rent when it snows and we volunteer to help shovel sidewalks. $20 an hour per each person. We can usually shave about $150 off our rent each time it snows and we go out to help.
Said landlord also provides us with all the bags of salt that we need. He's cool like that.

Just turn the thermostat up to 22 C, nothing else is needed

One month of propane for heat and cooking. Enough gasoline stored outside in metal shed for the generator. Food that doesn't need refrigeration. Cat food.

I put my shorts and short-sleeve shirts away for a couple of weeks and break out the sweat pants and long-sleeve shirts.

Hey, its Arizona.  We consider the 40's to be frigid!

Winter doesn't get here until late June-ish. My prep at that time is to make sure I have a raincoat handy.

I dress more warmly, and occasionally wear boots instead of Crocs. That's about it.
