Gave Mrs Ranch a pedicure per her request.

Clean all the remaining hummingbird feeders for storage.
Replaced the backup batteries in the smoke detectors.
Seasoned up chicken breasts for our suppers. I don't know whether I'll be putting them on the smoker or cooking them inside yet as the incoming cold front's arrival time will determine that... Well the front has arrived, so inside cooking it is.
