Clocks going back..Oh no....

[1dn5up]

So, wait. I know the clocks fall back. At 2am it becomes 1am. I think that means I get an extra hour of sleep. Or it means I will be awake for an extra hour at night trying to sleep, but failing. Need to be up hours before dawn Monday. Lots of riding to do for work. Full week riding this way and that way. :vxtyaq::Coffee::qpnmt:

You got to look at it this way, instead of getting daylite at 7 , it will happen at 6. Therefore you will be late unless you get up at 4. Don't forget to pee at 1 instead of 2 , set the coffee at 3, to be ready around 3:15. Naptime will also change to 3:45 in order to consume dinner at 5 instead of 6. It will take till April be fore you get normal again, then 86 the above :Shrug:

Heck, I wish they would turn the clocks ahead another hour for the winter, way too early for darkness at 5 o'clock.

We don't want that.......hell my grass is burning up already with the extra hour of daylight, it couldn't take another hour. LOL

Just a dreaded reminder, gota do it again. :gah:

Nothing like dragging up a 3 yr old thread ............ :gah::laugh:

Interesting thing about changing the clocks... And a little embarrassing .
When i had a Spyder the clock was a bugger to set, You had to go though all kinds of modes to set it, I tried to do it then i finely gave up and called over my neighbors son 12/13 years old, He set it for me in about ten seconds' Looked up at me with that you old people don't know much look [I tend to get that a lot], and walked away...:cxtv:

One of the many reasons I truly wish this country would ditch it. There are numerous articles from the medical community regarding its adverse effects on people. Sadly, I happen to be one of them.

DST

Here we go again, 11/5 is the date. Don’t know who decides the outcome as to eliminate it, but have been reading that each state in the time zones must agree or it will never change. As far as that happening———— GFL :gah:

Didnt the government invent daylight savings time for farmers and labor during the war?

I dunno, it does not bother my riding style at all

Just a bit slower and older

Lotta story's about how and why and when it was thought of !.... And just to set the record straight , Ben Franklin who is on the 100$ bill but was never a president' Was the one who had suggested it in the 17 hundreds, It was used during the war's to save electric, Less need for lights ETC...

And its a misconception it was for the farmers....Ask any farmer and the'll tell you they work by Gods time , Not a clock!..

Also it was extended for a short while during the Fuel embargo [1973 ?]

 

[hardheaded]

it plain sucks ! i read that old Ben started it to save on candles.

 

[1dn5up]

The kicker is that NO ONE knows how , or wants to know , how to stop it. I guess BLM is NOT the issue :Shrug:

 

[rhino 2]

Me, I think it should be pushed forward 2 hours and kept there permanently all year, Who needs daylight at 5/6am....I sure don't need it to get dark at 4/5 pm...

 

[Sully]

I don't know about you, but I'm going to Sleep in. :Coffee:

 

[Phu Cat]

I agree. Wish they'd set em and forget em.

[Rollin Thunder]

Living out here in the Phoenix valley I wish they would push it ahead 2 hours also Rhino 2.

1 thing we don't need or want out here in the desert southwest is MORE Sun during our HOT Summers.

But I'm glad we Glad we don't go thru that out here in Arizona. .

Plus we don't set clocks any more since were Retired :clapping:. ha ha ha.

Ok back to my coffee. Ya all have a great weekend. ......................................Rick

I really think pushing the clock forward two hours would be a fanatic move,, Just think about it, There would be two extra hours of Sunlight in the late afternoon, And then the commercial farmers can grow bigger and better crops with that extra Sunlight, And then that might even solve the world hunger problem... :Shrug:

It still needs to go.

Of course, you know daylight savings time is the cause of global warming?

An idiot explained this to Jay Leno:

DST gives us an extra hour of afternoon sun. Every knows the afternoon sun is stronger than the morning sun, hence, global warming...
