Bullnoses and the time change?

[Jesus Freak]

I was thinking, there's some people that gotta have stuff just "thus or so....." im not one of them, as you well know. But there are those of you who have bruises on your index finger tips because you couldn't stand the clock in your truck reading an hour fast. So, how are yall handling it? Does anyone unhook your batteries at noon to reset the clock? Do you just deal with it for 6 months? Does your clock still work? Have you "rebuilt" it so the buttons don't decimate the nerves in your finger tips?

I personally dont worry with it unless I end up messing with my batteries, then I address it by hooking them back up at noon or close enough that I only have to fuss with it for a minute.......but I don't think I could survive pushing that button 22 times!

Back when I had my bull nose, my grandfather gave it to me, modified Windsor 351 4x4 with a t4, 297k original miles.
It didn't have a clock in it, just a blank panel. I ended up finding a tach at a wrecking yard and put it in. Wasn't until after I got rid of the truck that I found out they offered a clock.

Press the button 22 times and complain about it later

Worse than setting the clock are my poor dogs who knew when feeding time was--now they think it's dinner but they really have another hour to go.

Ive got dairy cows and they don't adjust their clocks at all.....

I pressed the button 23 times, and then corrected the minute side that had slowly drifted off by 6 minutes or so since last march, all while driving down the road (Don't tell the state patrol, but probably still safer than texting while driving). It is still better than the wife's Taurus that won't let you access that feature unless the car is in park - stupid software engineers wanting to keep people safe....

I had a suspicion that you were a clock changer. My buttons are so bad there's no way I could change the time while driving. It's a 2 hand operation on my clock.

Ive actually thought about making a thread concerning the minute drift our clocks, it really does seem like the world has sped up in the last few decades. Do our clocks prove it?

I think it is more likely that the electrons in our trucks just move more slowly than the electrons outside of them, probably due to some relativistic effect caused by the extra gravity these trucks carry around with them.

That's heavy....on a couple different levels. Ill chew on it and get back with you.

The last time I heard someone use that saying, he was driving around in a DeLorean.

I don’t change the clock in my personal vehicles. They stay on summer time.

On my phone lock screen I have the time the rest of the country uses, and an hour behind this time of year. I recognize the existence and planning based upon time listed during this part of the year, but I myself do not observe standard time, since we spend about 8 months in daylight savings time instead. I go by the sun, I start my work day an hour “earlier” and finish an hour “earlier”, but the same relative to the sun’s position. I refuse to participate in the BS that is switching time.

That's an advantage for me when I go out to Colorado and do my ATV thing. I'm always the first one awake in the mornings. Usually between 5:15 and 5:30. I'm always ready to start riding by 7:30.

Yeah, thats my life according to cows.

I wish I had a clock to complain about.

I use a Sun-Dial year around, day or nite.
Daytime I just look at the rear view mirrow's shadow that it casts on/across the dash & that tells me close enough to how late I am.
At nite I just look at the dash light reflections on the door windows, or turn dome lite on and look at shadow the rear view mirrow casts onto windshield.

Save your finger tips, it ain't worth it!
