Time Change this Weekend

For those of us in the U.S., don't forget to set your clocks ahead Saturday night!

Not many of those to set anymore are there? Everything pretty much resets itself these days. Cept my microwave and why doesn't it, now I think about it? I know we have the tech.
With our phones, we really don't need to remember the time changes anymore, which is really so very convenient. I do love the tech age (mostly.) :alien:

The only time keeping pieces we have that reset themselves are our cell phones and the cable tv box; we have 10 others that I have to manually re-set (one of those is our microwave as you mentioned above).

Now I have to count... I'm curious... lol
Um, upstairs stove and microwave, my microwave... Oh! Husband's old style alarm clock.
I think that's it. The androids, PCs, Laptops, Cable, and Play boxes all reset themselves.
The really convenient thing is the androids because my alarms go off at the right times, year round.
I'm sure there are expensive models of microwaves and stoves that do reset themselves but I don't live in that world. lol

Well lets see.....the following clocks need to be manually reset in my home:
Grandfather clock
School house clock
Microwave
Stove
2 alarm clocks
4 wall or desk clocks through out house and garage
2 vehicle clocks
Golf cart clock
Irrigation timer clock
2 DVD players
Clock built into garage door wall controller
There might be a couple more I can't think of right now.

It is a pain changing clocks twice per year.

I didn't change mine last year and I won't this year. If I have an appointment, I'll leave an hour earlier, my time to get there on time, their time. Why should I screw up my sleep pattern, etc?

I freaking love that! Non-conformist rage against the machine! (That's probably just my take on it. lol) I do think it's a great idea, though. -- Hey, the entire state of AZ feels the same way about it and they get by just fine; the rest of the country just has to deal with it.
Now I want to do that. I won't cause, my alarms and all, but I want to.

Holy crow, so your morning's pretty much taken up twice a year with clock changing? ;)
Your home sounds nice with its grandfather and school house clocks. :)
 
The ones that need me to change, I did already today ....so I can be confused the rest of the day.
Most change by themselves .. computer, iPhone, car.

Does anyone else still wear a watch? Those need to be manually set.

My Apple Watch changes automatically. My final watch sits on a counter so it gets charged. When it quits, it’s gone. I used to have a selection of watches.

The coffee maker clock accidentally got set an hour ahead a couple of weeks ago, so that’s taken care of.
The microwave clock function can be suppressed so I don’t have to worry about it.
The bedrooms all have clocks; I don’t want to look at my phone in the night.
 
My microwave is the only time keeper I currently have in my home. Oops, forgot my phone.

My watch battery is dead. And my car is in the garage.....will change it when I see it.
