huh, what do you mean it's not summer?

I went looking because I knew we had a time change thread here somewhere but I can't find it now ... unless I'm mis-remembering. Most of us here in the US just did our semi-annual lunacy of changing the time by an hour because the farmers like it better when the sun stays up later in the day during the summer ( from friends / relatives who farm I'm not so sure that's true )

And on the first day of Standard time I've had to change my watch ( a Casio with a 10 year battery and 'memo pad' for phone numbers ) get rid of a rat that found one of my glue traps (that kept me awake half the night 'cause the dogs got all excited) a friend wanted me to take a run to Alpine with him where he was going to pick up a panel saw (which didn't happen) and trying to get a decent nap today (which also didn't happen)

I hate time change cause the dogs don't know what's happening when their chow comes an hour early or late or daddy goes to bed earlier / later depending and my body sympathizes with the dogs.

So, how do you and yours handle the time change ....

Yep. Ami did not note the time change. I was dozing and i hear Woo woo woo repeat ad infinitum until i them hear the food can opening. Checked my phone - just 4PM.

The time change was a real conundrum when i work in the middle of the night, trying to figure out if i could take another Norco, took the previous one on EDT, now was standard time, so how many hours since last pill?!!? I'm cutting back now that I'm not in such profound pain, but damn, all that arithmetic in the wee hours of the morn, with a groggy brain and clocks that don't agree... Made my head spin

I would prefer to just stay in daylight savings time and stop moving. I prefer my light on the far end of the day rather than having sunrise at 4am, but frankly our days are so short during the winter that we don't really see light regardless of what time we are on unless we work off kilter hours. Everyone here always goes on about the kids getting on the bus in the dark if we just choose to stay on daylight savings time. It doesn't matter, they are either going to get on in the dark or off in the dark. Our routes are long here. Someone gotta deal with the dark.

It always makes kenzi's meds interesting to deal with. I'm supposed to dose every 12 hours and I have about an hour give or take off that so i usually have to dose at the 11.5 hour mark the night before so when we fall back I'm still in that 1 hour give zone. it's a pain. Pretty sure if a presidential candidate said their first act in would be to stop time change at the federal level they would win in a land slide.

@Amymeme I don't have that excuse for confusion around time change. The friend I went to Alpine with yesterday called me on Saturday evening and said he'd see me about 10. I had to call him back and ask if he meant 10:CST or 10:DST? Not a lot of help, but it was a lot of fun!!

@Twisterii I personally don't care which but I do wish that it would stay one or the other! Okay, let's say we leave it at DST. The pups are pretty good about eating when it gets put down but they were wondering when it got on toward 7:30 ( I slipped, dinner is normally about 6:PM ) then evening treat time came early at 8:PM (normally at 9:PM) but with time change I wasn't sure when they were getting what and I try not to push a change ... oh, woe is me, I'se so confused!!!
I'll leave it to you to decide which time reference above is CST or CDT ...

Well i like it staying bright later and sunrise being later. That being said we get like 5ish hours of daylight during the dead of winter. Dogs wanted dinner at 130 usually they eat at 230 but then the next morning they were acting like i starved them.

Colorado voted to end time change 3 years ago and it died in the senate.

Work was fun. Between the time change and the snow it was dead. But its hunting tourist season now. Anyone hunt here or did at some point? The hunters coming in STINK. Now if i can smell them feom 30 ft away how do they expect to find a deer or elk? It will smell them long before they even see it. My family used the soap and then wipes that eliminate your scent so i dont get it.
