Tonight/Sunday morning is when we do the clock dance for those of
us who observe the time change.
It's your choice to do this task before going to bed tonight. Or
if you are a stickler for doing it at the moment it actually changes,
that means getting up at 2:00 a.m. Then again, you can wait until
you arise Sunday morning to change clocks in your house that don't automatically set themselves.

I changed all of mine, that don't change by themselves, this morning.
My wife changed the air-fryer clock, so I didn't have to read the damned instructions again.
Don't forget the vehicles! I suppose "modern" cars change themselves,
but I really have no idea.

In my truck, I just let the damn clock stay on one time all year. I know
it's an hour off. No problem to add or subtract 1.
I learned that in first grade.
My cars'clocks have to be set manually. I have to digital watches that
need to be set. I may have to find instructional videos for them...
again. There is are two clock radios to, a wall clock and an oven clock
to set.

I'll change the car clock next time I have to drive anywhere. That may
or may be until Friday.

I have to push a button to change the clock in the car, not that I actually pay attention to what time it says. :)

I have already tackled the upstairs clock and my watches. My analog

couple days. I got a break on one digital watch because the battery is
dead. The other one took me more than 20 minutes. I watched the video

an exercise in frustration. I tried over and over and over and all of a

Springing forward is easier than falling back, since the wall clocks
hate going backwards and have to be dialed forward twenty-three hours.

I had a watch with a broken button that was needed to choose minutes
or hours (or day / month / year) to set time. But a different button
could be used to move it ahead OR behind <29 seconds to the nearest
minute which set seconds to 0.
So twice a year, I had to move the time ahead or back an hour by 29 or
less seconds 125 or so times, which took a bit over two hours.
Arrgh you just ruined my evening :) I thought I had changed all
those that have to be done manually, forgot about the car, absolutely
HATE changing the car one :(

Some can be a real PITS, mine is very simple. You just touch the clock
on the screen and it pops up the menu, push DST or STD. Done.

our thermostat, our answering machine, the microwave, the stove, the air fryer and two vehicles.

Our computer, iDevices and watches change themselves. Our sprinkler
timer should be set, but I quit using it last year. I'm covered for six months unless the power goes out. ;)

Ah, yes, our Twicer Yearly Clock Change Barker <yawn>. You
must sit at home and watch the grandfather clock tick when
you're not attending to frozen foods in the air fryer or
twice-baking a ham so it can dry out just to sit for 12
hours and dry out even more before insisting it only being
eaten cold.

Mine is a PITA - so bad a couple of years ago I brought the manual up

If it's that hard, isn't it easier to remember whether your car

RCMP Offiser Dave should follow yer wise example...
That way he wouldn't have to watch all them instructional videos on how
to change the time on his clock radio...
Does Unca Tojo out on that far atoll have to wind his clocks back...
Maybe ALL the way back to December 7th, 1941...???

Simple solution. The car will come from the dealer with time set properly. Just buy one car for DST and another for STD. Change cars seasonally.

I must be getting good at this. I just went out to set the clocks on my
cars. I wondered how long it would take. I looked at the clock on the
oven and it happened to flip to 1:14. I went to my car, put the key in,
set the clock to the new time, took my keys out, went to my wife's car,
stuck the key in the ignition, hit the button for the menu, flipped down
to set time, advanced it an hour, removed the key, walked back to the
house and the oven clock read 1:15.

The only *new* small cars I see on the roads these days are really
expensive sports cars. Can't afford to buy the car much less put gas in
one. :)
My oven and microwave above it both have the same time and change
withing seconds of each other.

My SUV only had a 19-gallon gas tank and if you're not constantly on
the go or have to drive great distances when you do fire it up, that
tankful can last you a month

Here it's often underground and cramped. And even if it's in the open,
it can still be cramped.
Is Bruce claiming to drive a big SUV and having trouble parking it?

I often see a fire truck there; the firefighters are inside shopping
for stuff for the firehouse. It occupies more than one space, of
course.
Tonight/Sunday morning is when we do the clock dance for those of
us who observe the time change.

Same here, but they park just before you'd reach the front door same
as if they were there for a fire.

Perhaps the local fire department is more courteous than yours.
They park off to the side of the building, not in the fire lane.

Frankly, other than the public image issue, I don't see a major problem
with them parking in the fire lane. The fire lane is there to ensure
passage and room for a fire truck in the even of an emergency. If there
is an emergency that requires their presence, they are already there.
