The best part of shifting back in the Fall...
don't tell the little Mrs., then we arrive on time for most events....
well, at least until she figures it out in a week or two.

Well, I did switch to Pacific time (from Mountain) and the posts are still off from real time, which is now 4:43pm and it says 5:43 for my post time... any clues here?

I saw that again today David and am faking it as being somewhere else so the time is correct.

:saint:

David K - 11-7-2005 at 06:46 PM

huh?

go to the control panel and edit your profile - near the bottom you can change the time zone-:biggrin:

Lou, I did! Here is what I posted above:

"Well, I did switch to Pacific time (from Mountain) and the posts are still off from real time, which is now 4:43pm and it says 5:43 for my post time"

ie. I changed the time from Mountain (Pacific Daylight Savings) to Pacific (Standard)... and it is posting a time one hour later than it really is... 5:01 now.

I guess I will put my self halfway to Hawaii, for this to read correctly... what's that, Yukon Time?

bajalou - 11-7-2005 at 07:22 PM

I think so - Alaska at least

David K - 11-7-2005 at 07:28 PM

OK, I am (now) on Alaskan time and the posts now show correct Pacific Standard Time for me!

DOUG????

Anyone gives a chit ???:O

...yes, did the Alaskan time switch, also...

BTW...you don't have to change time setting in your GPS units, as they change automatically when you next acquire a sat-fix...

bajalou - 11-7-2005 at 08:38 PM

I have a couple of Garmin - a 12XL and a 12 and I have to set the offset from Zulu when DT and ST change. Maybe the newer ones do it automaticly.

1) Click on 'Control Panel/Options' (it's up at the top of this page, below your name)

2) Click on 'Edit Profile'

3) Scroll down to the time zone choice...

How to tell time in Baja: Look to the east, see that beautiful sunrise over the Sea of Cortez? its morning! Look to the west, see that beautiful sunset over the mountains? Its night! Don't worry about it on the west coast its foggy and you can not see the sun anyway. Throw away those watches and let the batteries in the GPS go dead, its more fun that way.

bajalou - 11-8-2005 at 11:07 AM

This morning the board is back to where it was a couple days ago - time wise that is - Had to change my settings back to Pacific Time Zone

Yikes, you're right!!! DOUG!!! (I think he is having fun with us??!!):lol:

Goodness, I never thought people in Baja were so concerned with time?

David K - 11-8-2005 at 04:40 PM

We are not (all) in Baja! But, we (most) wish we were!

In Baja, no watches or clocks is my rule... Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're tired! I think you live longer that way!!
