Default After rebuild checklist

Well it's about that time again...spring break is next week and I'll finally be home long enough to get everything put back together! I just had the bright idea to make a restarting checklist to make sure I don't forget anything, this is just a quick off the top of my head list, any more suggestions?

1. Refill all fluids
2. Prime the oil pump
3. Start
4. Reset computer (have neg. batt cable disconnected for 30 min, hook up batt and start. let idle until it reaches operating temps w/o touching the gas, shut it off and let cool completely down...this is the correct procedure, no?)
5. After idling for 30 min, change oil and filter (camshaft lube, etc)

I know I'm probably missing stuff, I've gotta get to work and that's what was on my mind at this point, feel free to add anything else that will prevent me from blowing my engine up []
