Yes, last year, with the new advent of earlier DST, our Atomic clock didn't change by itself. It was a real hassle to get it to change manually.
And I only bought this clock because it had a second hand big enough for me to read while doing intervals on the trainer.
OK, so daylight savings time is coming soon- but it was 6 degrees this morning. I want WARM! It's March for crying out loud. Is it unreasonable of me to think it should be warmer than 6 degrees? OK, so it is Michigan but so what?
Hey,that's a good idea. I have heard of those, but have never seen one in person. We are in the stone age here:rolleyes:...Quote:

And we have to get started early in the Summer to avoid 100 -plus heat pretty much every day in July and August, too.
I do miss the change of seasons
Atomic Clocks should not be affected since they get the signal from the gov't...:confused::confused::confused:
Fredwina: During the week, I'm on the west edge of the eastern time zone...and mid summer sunsets are about 9:30, so I can ride a lot after work.
On the weekends, I'm on the east edge of the central time zone (where I lived 90% of my life)...and I like the west edge MUCH more.
Yeah, I just couldn't remember if it changed on time last year, or not. It must have, but I do remember resetting it a few months ago, but I don't remember why! (batteries?)

Ours reset itself a little late/early and we had to wait a couple of weeks before it was the correct time. I think DST was earlier than normal last year, right?

So here we are, back in daylight savings time. I got 8 hours of sleep last night, yet I still felt really tired when I woke up this morning. Must be all in my head.
When I went grocery shopping on Friday, I picked up some 9 volt batteries so I could replace the one in my smoke detector. I tested it on Thursday night and it worked, but in honor of the vernal equinox I planned to follow the firemen's advice and change the battery anyway.
So I'm sitting here at the computer typing away, when I hear what sounds like a dripping sound. Hmmm. When I walk towards the bathroom to investigate, I realize it's the smoke detector chirping at me, to tell me I need a new battery. Talk about perfect timing!
Luckily, I am prepared...
It's here!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
There are birds building nests outside my living room, the Bradford pear trees are blooming, and I've got flowers blooming. I'm high on life today. :)
My silly atomic clock is waiting for the *correct* DST. :rolleyes: I woke up to see a beautiful sunrise and it's in the 80's today. :)
My atomic clock reset before I awoke...
I had planned on riding today, but knocked a 100lb stack of weights over on my left foot...and didn't think that climbing with a throbing foot would be fun:eek:
At least I know my heart is still beating...I feel it in my toe with each beat!;)
I love daylight savings time, but not for the first week.
5:00 am is going to come real early tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about your foot. How do you knock over 100#'s?
Being careless. :rolleyes: I was moving some of the gym pieces around and the stack was in a funky place...and I was barefoot...and I knocked it over.Quote:
