Things to check as another new year rolls around

Age and condition of tires on everything
...vehicles, trailers,RV's,work platforms like Mules,tractors, tillers and such. Replace them before the need so you are not surprised when you depend on them come Spring. It's amazing how quick tires degrade on seldom used equipment.
For those with them...septic system maintenance and well houses
Ride/walk that fenceline and fix the gaps

Good to check the in-service date on any detectors. 10 years is now the standard shelf life.

I know I am an Airhead, but new models now come with smoke detectors and CO2 detectors that need to be checked and replaced every 10 years ?????? 
Keeping it simple.....Gas in tank, air in tires, map in tank bag, money in pocket and maybe a destination in mind. Last item is optional.

10 years is the lifespan now. All units are dated and are supposed to have a 10 year battery. If you heat with propane, you can get a detector for that as well. Hair spray uses propane as a delivery gas and will set a detector off.I know I am an Airhead, but new models now come with smoke detectors and CO2 detectors that need to be checked and replaced every 10 years ??????

Ours have replaceable batteries but they still have a sticker on the back showing to replace the unit when it's 10 years old.
How about cleaning the fridge and toss the mayonaise and ketchup on the back of the shelf with the 2003 date on it
Or that bottle of Bud with a born on date of 2007...prob tastes same so maybe not.
Yeah...and change the filter you forgot was there as well as those fuzzy coils underneath

Flush the Hot Water Heater
Maybe not a "New Year" thing, but it ought to be done annually to extend its useful life and efficiency. Here's a link that discusses the project:

I was checking for spring.....as it's sort of here. The weather has turned a bit crappy with snow....and more on the way. Seems like the center and northern part of the country is going for record cold- in March
I wish the "weather personalities" would just give me as accurate forecast as they can instead of the old "we will know much more" next hour
At least this forecast was funny-
