I was wondering why I woke up at 5 AM and made coffee. There's way too many clocks in this place. I guess Greg is going to be busy!

Being a gadget lover, I have quite a few battery operated Atomic Clocks that reset themselves with changes of DST. Love it!!

(I love timepieces anyway...from wrist watches to our Grandfather's clock)

I have a variety, I collect them. There's old 115 V synchronous motor clocks, mantle clocks, a cuckoo clock, quartz battery clocks, a clock that has a mirrored face and runs backwards, digital clocks.......help.

Do they all have to be set to Bolder Colorado Atomic Time like mine do? :up:

(even my Grandfather's clock chimes within 5 seconds of Atomic time!)....Definitely a fetish! :eek2:

I have NISTIME on this PC, so it is very close. The beauty of the old weight and wind-up mechanical clocks is it's almost impossible to get them to be 100% accurate. Once in a while they will all start to clime at the same time, but not often. It reminds me that it's not that important to have everything running at pinpoint accuracy.

I slept a little late this morning (I thought) because my clock in the bed room is SUPPOSED TO adjust for the time change. I was half way through my coffee and noticed the time on the cable box, 3:45 AM. Oh well . Chris

Finally the clock is my van is right again!

I have a self setting atomic clock. I have to move it to a west facing window twice a year for a couple of days.
