This may be a silly question but what is the proper way to set back the time on a Super Avenger and an Aerospace watch? :lol:

On the SA, just make sure you don't start reversing the time in the 8-3 timeframe and unscrew the crwon, pullit all the way out, a reverse the time an hour.

I Arizona we don't go on daylight saving time, so no resetting anything. My daughter was born and raised here and is now in college in NY. She was very put off that the time changed - I don't think she ever even heard of this. Een more miffed in the spring when she lost a hour of her best friend - sleep!

It is absurdly dark in the morning these days and I am looking forward to getting some sunlight back in the AM.

Sharkman's advice on how to set the time is right.

Imagine you live in a desert. Imagine further it can get to 115 degrees fequently in that desert. Would you want an extra hour of daylight in the summer? Haha - me neither.

When I lived in Chicago in the winter it was dark when I went to work and it was dark when I went home. THAT I do nor miss. Nor the 30 below wind chill.

I'll pass on all of it. The cold and the darkness. I was born and raised in Texas and for some reason I have lived the past handful of years in the Utah mountains and quite frankly (as much as I do like to ski!) I am miserable between November and April!

This is my life today. It's really quite depressing. I might be getting a touch of the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). :? Can't wait for the cold to really ramp up!

It just recently started to drop here, and I pulled out coats and scarves at about the 50 degree mark. We certainly are not cut out for extended winters here in Texas.

As for the time change.....I think it is a bit antiquated by now. Farmers at the turn of the century had a good idea, but nowadays....

My golfing buddies like it because we can get out on the course even earlier now. I hate it for the exact same reason.

I am considering an Aerospace and may well have one before the time changes back...

I think everyone hates Daylight Savings Time-- there's a movement in the UK (and possibly in Ireland, I'm not sure) called "Lighter Later" which propose to change the clocks so there's more daylight in the evenings in winter for those of us at higher latitudes. I'm not sure if I completely agree with it, though... Leaving the house in the morning when it's dark is incredibly depressing...

Come and live in Australia! We have beautiful beach weather for nine months of the year. Winter is usually just a light sweater. And not many other nations can eat their national emblam. BBQ Kangaroo anyone? :D

I love leaving the house when it is dark outside. I think subconsciously it makes me think I am working harder, although I am sure I hit the afternoon wall much sooner than some of my co-workers.

I vote for more sun in the evenings

Well, South Florida is not bad either as far as weather goes, except for hurricanes of course.

But I would love to try your BBQed national emblem Novacastrian :) :wink:
