Only the microwave and my watch (remember those?) don't change when the time changes. Everything else does. So, it was a simple process for this old fuddy duddy.

Wall clocks, microwave, clock radio, oven clock.......

My watch, strange enough, is automatic. A solar watch that never needs a battery change. It does something with radio waves and communicates with a "world clock" or something like that. It changes to the right time even when I cross time zones. Very high tech from decades ago. I never wear it. It's in a sunny place to maintain the battery charge.

Why do you "Never wear it"?

AZ does not change clocks. So you are still an hour off from AZ.

I have a Casio solar watch too. It gets enough light just in the open room to keep running for several days, so it doesn't matter where I keep it as long as it's facing up. Not exactly automatic, but it has a PST/PDT mode that requires a 5-step process to do the switch. Kind of spooky to switch it and watch the hands swirl backward or forward an hour.

Yesterday I got the 6.0 back from the mechanic after having it serviced and the AC trouble shot.

It turns out that the Compressor was going South quickly. The orfice had metal shavings all over it and when they shined the Black Light on the compressor, the whole unit glowed like the sun😵‍💫

Then a big whimper to the bank and back.
