Once a Month Job List

I don't recall if I mentioned this before, but In order to make sure that certain things get done, we have a "first of the month" job list. 

... Check solar batteries and service as needed. 
... Clean the solar panels. 
... Apply once a month flea control on the cats & dogs. 
... Administer heartworm preventative to the dogs. 
... Deworm the sheep and donkey. 
... Give all the animals a quick exam, looking for early signs of problems. 
... Check condition of catchment water and add amendments as needed. 
... Check the inventory of emergency supplies and replenish as needed.  This includes propane and gasoline. 
... Check the condition of the field fencing. 
... Flush out the raingutter system. 
... Check farm equipment and service as needed. 

And finally......gather up all my work shoes and clean them. 

Lined up drying in the sun. 

There's lots and lots of other tasks that always seem to need doing, but these core jobs are always repeated month after month. Without having a monthly to-do list, I fear we'd never get these done in a timely fashion. I'm way too good at putting things off until tomorrow.
