An Extra Hour

Well not really but as the country (except Saskatchewan) resets their clocks back one hour on Sunday morning,(Spring forward, Fall back)there are some tasks that usually happen on this day. As a reminder;

Check your smoke alarm and change the batteries.

If you have a CO detector - ditto

Check your furnace filters - clean and replace as needed.

Take ALL your recycling to depot including unwanted electronics, batteries and clothing.

Put the ice scraper, shovel and survival kit back in the trunk of your auto.

Check wipers, tires, antifreeze and exhaust system.

Wow - you thought you had an extra hour.
