The last clock (I hope)

[Don C]

I just found a clock that had not been changed back to EST. It is an indoor/outdoor thermometer which I'd forgotten even has a clock.

This SHOULD be the last clock to change.

Well, there is a clock on the irrigation system but I don't change it since the next time I'll use it it we will be back on daylight time.

(In my last house, it was usually the water softener that I'd forget to change.)

How long did it take you to find the last clock to change back to standard time?

All my wall clocks are "atomic" and change automatically.

Six or seven of my wristwatches do likewise, unless I forget to put one or two in the wave path. Others need to be adjusted manually.

I usually miss a couple or more so I adopted the policy of leaving them as is so that during the next time change, I have watches ready to go.

That' my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Except for those clocks that world peace and stemmed starvation depend on I just leave them on standard time and adjust the hour as needed - same as when travelling across time zones ( devices that auto-correct with network time sure are handy to have ).
When I worked with GPS and mapping software I had t think in GMT and subtract/add for the correct time geographically as GMT was the constant reference.
It became such a habit that shifting an hour is a piece of cake.

I have to change a few. My atomic wall clock does fine. But my Maximilian radio-atomic watch seems to have stopped picking up the signal from Colorado. This is disconcerting. I have tried hanging it in front of a west-facing window, to no avail. Any idea why this would happen?

I bought a little digital clock (like you'd keep on a nightstand) to put on my entertainment center so I could readily see the time. However, in my haste I didn't notice that there is NO WAY to set the clock...at all. It supposedly gets a signal from the power outlet. Which is kind of stupid since it's 15 minutes fast and i can't change it.

I have an old quartz clock in my living room; I'm looking at it as I type.
Every couple of years, I adjust it. It seems to gain about five minutes every couple of years, so this needs doing.
Needless to say, it ignores Daylight Savings Time, as I do. The mental adjustment is trivial, as is the need.

It is on its second AA battery. Sometime in the next decade, the battery will need to be replaced. I hope to be around to do this.

Just remember that all the clocks that are flashing 12:00 need to be changed to flash 11:00.

I just simplified things by getting rid of a bunch of extraneous clocks... I only have three to set.
