Hot Tips Computer - Web:  Leverage all the social media sites you can to support your main website. A Facebook business page is the most important, followed by Instagram then Twitter. Don't forget to make sure your Google and Yelp listing pages are okay. But keep the focus on your main site and don't get bogged down in endless social media chit chat, which might be fun but it doesn't generate good traffic after a while.
Auto:   Get Your Car's Cooling System Checked Out for using your AC. I don't approve of idling your car to run your AC or using AC in cooler weather. Also, check the tire pressure and presence & condition of your spare tire, lug wrench & jack.
Outdoors:   Summer is here. But bring at least one wool layer and shell parka if hiking above 3000'. Take basic emergency supplies for day hikes.
Fall is here and Thanksgiving is approaching. Start getting ready for winter like get the snow or M+S tires mounted, put the scraper, shovel, bags of salt and other emergency stuff like hard food, blankets and warm clothes into the car again.
