Roy Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 So it's time to turn our clocks BACK one hour tonight. This also happens to be the perfect time to replace the batteries in all your battery operated smoke (and other) detectors. Check your battery stock today to make sure you have enough to cover all detectors. It's also a good idea to check the detector manufactured dates. Anything over 10 years old should be replaced. They're inexpensive and the peace of mind alone will be worth it. Lecture done... have a great weekend.
Aaron Shirley Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks for the heads up Roy! I forgot about the time change. Good idea with the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well. I have lots of batteries around with young kids lol. Time to change the batteries, furnace filter etc.
Fisherman Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Can't believe I was just teetering on the chair 6 months ago replacing batteries. May as well get er done. Costco has the bundle packs of 9V, so there's no excuse.
kickingfrog Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 As most parents know or are about to find out, what used to be a small pleasure BK (before kids) is now a giant pain in the butt.

Handlebarz Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Last year I bought all new smoke alarms they have 10 year batteries in them.
kickingfrog Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 ok I'm lost The little bit of "extra" sleep does not happen because young kids wake up at the same time regardless of what the clock says.
Terry Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 a shot of rum solves that problem lol if administered to children 6 shots if self-medicating
aplumma Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I am shocked and horrified you would suggest giving alcohol to a child......use Nyquil it works better.lol Art

outllaw Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 never was a fan of the time changes.. at least now it will be back to normal.
davey buoy Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I would of been fine with splitting the difference and leaving it the same all year,but than we wouldn't remember to change our smoke detecter batteries .
Fisherman Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 So what were ya doing at CTC then? Good heads up brudder. Needed some stainless nuts and bolts for the boat. Did you remember to get your tag.. otherwise you'll be eatin track stew or tail soup..

cram Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Does that mean that Lew gets up at 3am tomorrow?
lew Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Does that mean that Lew gets up at 3am tomorrow? 3 AM is normal, tomorrow should be about 2 It's when Roy and I share a morning internet coffee
Handlebarz Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Does that mean that Lew gets up at 3am tomorrow? No at 2 because by 3 he will have had his third cup of coffee. My wife hates this time of year as it throws me right off as I don't like the first two weeks getting used to the time change. I am normally up at 4am for work and now it will feel like 3abd that sucks. She does not understand as she gets up after its already day light and I have half my work day done. I think it would be great to leave the time along year round.
Handlebarz Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 3 AM is normal, tomorrow should be about 2 It's when Roy and I share a morning internet coffee Lol looks like I was slow on my typing skills above
Twocoda Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 i might also add ....if you do not have freezless taps for your garden hose... its time to drain them by internally shuting them down
mercman Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 3 AM is normal, tomorrow should be about 2 It's when Roy and I share a morning internet coffee You guys get up at 2 in the blessed A.M ????????? I hope I never get old..............J.K
