I'm almost ready.

Other than removing the fan blades from the ceiling fan, the porch has been closed up. The generator has been tested and moved from its summer home to its winter home. The snowblower has been made ready and tested. I will conduct several more lawn mowings, more to pick up the leaves than to cut the grass, before I put the tractor away for the winter.

All-in-all, I'd say I was about as ready and prepared for the coming winter as I can be.

Actually, after last winter, I'm really hoping that I'm over-prepared because we don't need another winter like that.

No baseball until tomorrow so I'm gonna catch up on my DVRs and fall asleep early.
