I've got the GMTc out tonight, so a quick hour jump will be as easy as pie!!

drockadam · 11 March 2012, 10:41 AM

My job tomorrow morning is setting all watches and clocks in the house!

GradyPhilpott · 11 March 2012, 11:15 AM

I hate DST and think it's a total scam.

We spent a grand total of 4 months and 5 days in Standard Time.

Why don't they change DST to Standard Time and call what used to be Standard Time DWT, Daylight Wasting Time?

I'm wearing my all black GMT-II so my change will be just as easy, Rob. Of course, I also have my Omega X-33 with me in Florida right now, so that will take an extra few seconds to set. I'll do that before beddy-bye time tonight so it will be all set when I take it on my daily morning walk tomorrow.

If you move to AZ, you would be unemployed. It only means we are now 3 hours behind east coast tv programming as opposed to two.

Hmmmmmmmm. AZ.

If I could find a place in AZ with weather as good as ABQ, I think I'd be there by Fall.

Yeah, Rob, these "work" trips are real killers. Unfortunately, I don't get down to our place in Boca as often as I'd like. In the 12 years we have owned this place, I have never stayed here as long as a week.

Here's a view from the kitchen.

And here's one from our balcony.

That's the Deerfield Beach pier in the distance. They do a great fireworks display on the 4th of July. That's why we always come down here that time of year.

Stunning views....and I bet the temps are in the 80 to 90's!!

Instead of the 10 to 15's I'm in right now. Oh the sacrifices I have to make!

Stay safe and well!

Thanks, Rob. The views are why I fell in love with the place from the moment I saw it. We've been in the high 70's - low 80's since we got here Wednesday evening. It did rain much of Thursday, but it's been beautiful ever since. Saw a whole bunch of BMW 645i and Merc. 550SL drop tops today with the tops down. We have to make do with Avalon rentals. Nice car, but I'd rather have my Lexus 430SC drop top down here right now.

Weather is typical PNW... cool and showers..! - But no snow..Phew!

david_ord · 11 March 2012, 01:03 PM

My DSSD sets itself automatically ;)

Alcan · 11 March 2012, 02:32 PM

Aside from resetting the clocks in the house, it won't make much difference. Every time I put a watch on its been sitting for a few days, so it needs winding and resetting. The only exceptions are the non-quickset Rolex and Seiko 5 which live on the winder.

GradyPhilpott · 11 March 2012, 02:46 PM

My clocks set themselves, so that's not really a problem, even if the weather is bad between here and Ft. Collins and it takes a day or more to catch up. I rarely ever depend on an alarm clock anymore. On those rare occasions, I use the Blackberry.

I only set my watches when I wear them, so no big deal there, either.

I hate DST because of what it does to the balance of daylight during waking hours and of course what that extra hour of heat does to the natural cooling of the atmosphere during those hours.

The Explorer is ready now ready for some daylight saving!

GradyPhilpott · 11 March 2012, 04:46 PM

Never mind.

Oyster1982 · 11 March 2012, 07:06 PM

The datejust has been adjusted for daylight savings time.

I hate DST! I am tired right now and the coffee isn't helping.

I always enjoy DST as it gives me an extra hour to bicycle in the evenings.....

Come on down, I got a spare room with your name on it!

I love dst, no more darkness at 7pm.

BarkMaster · 12 March 2012, 01:49 AM

I slept an hour late this morning. I feel so much better!!!

Oh, wait...

MoBe · 12 March 2012, 02:18 AM

Resetting the sundial is a pain in the ass!

GradyPhilpott · 12 March 2012, 03:17 AM

All my clocks changed this morning, presumably at 0200. Even the analog clock that I have in the worst possible place to pick up a signal changed.

sea-dweller · 12 March 2012, 11:41 PM

I hate losing an hour on the weekend!
