Hang in There - 30 Days and Counting!

It'll be interesting to see what our clocks do this year.

Hey Tuck, how much snow did you get?

[Crankin]

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?

[Miranda]

Miranda, you could do like I do, and wait for the atomic clock in the kitchen to change automatically, and then carry that around to all the other clocks and sync them up!

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...

[Fredwina]

Since I dislike DST .. I don't get home until 7PM on worknight, so the sun is well on its way down by the time I can change. So I usually do early AM rides.
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

[Mr. Bloom]

Atomic Clocks should not be affected since they get the signal from the gov't...

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.

[Tuckervill]

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?

[spokewench]

I for one, hate day light savings time. Just leave the dang clock alone.

I live in Arizona - where they leave the dang clock alone - except if you live on the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations up north! Now, if that isn't confusing

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...

[Tri Girl]

It's here!!!!!!

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. I woke up to see a beautiful sunrise and it's in the 80's today.

[Mr. Bloom]

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

At least I know my heart is still beating...I feel it in my toe with each beat!

[Flybye]

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?

[Mr. Bloom]

Sorry to hear about your foot. How do you knock over 100#'s?

Being careless. 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.

Now I know why I've waited 2 yrs to move that universal gym
