Winter 2018-19 projects

For those of us north of the Carolinas it is that time of the year when the next gas fill-up is probably the last until 2019 and the remaining cruises few in number.
So.....what have you for this winter? I keep failing at my vow to just turn the heat on until spring and not take things apart and then more things and then more things
Possibles:
1. Put in a new impeller. The old one is many years old. I did a scavenger hunt and found 5 new ones all over the boat hidden in corners () I don't recall buying, but they are all ancient in their boxes. Might have to buy one.
2. Maybe do electronic ignition. Now I can get an EI with adaptive dwell I want to see how this does. Counterargument is the scavenger hunt also turned up 3 sets points and condensers and a distributor cap new in boxes.
3. Set up a valve and line for fuel return.
4. Maybe revisit my FWC ideas.
5. Maybe add an electric choke. I do not like the cable choke.
6. New engine start battery. The start battery will no longer do a cold-iron start. That battery is over a decade old, so no complaints really.
7. Teak clean up and oil/varnish.
8. Finally get around to getting my amazing cool looking white painted super custom better than any other type Balmar alternator fixed that died. Glad I paid about $60 for it vs. a few hundred it listed for new
