The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yeah, I've actually started doing that with some tasks. Like changing air filters, operating the under-sink valves (annually), changing smoke detector batteries, etc. I may have to add trash day to the list...

I also use "Keep" for notes and chores. Even trivial things like "call the insurance company", because if I don't then I may not remember until later in the day when they're already closed (been there, done that). I need to put "order 1/4" drip tubing" because I'm out, and I haven't ordered any yet (nor dropped by HD/Lowes to pick it up).
