Set one for summer, one for fall, and one will always be right.

we actually return to eastern standard time ....daylight savings time really makes no sense, since it's the daylight thats being hurried at dusk when we move them forward in the spring , if anything it's daylight wasting time.

if we never moved them forward sunset would be 10 oclock at night in june.

First two I bought were shumachers (at same time), both cooked a battery and I tossed them. Must have been from a bad batch, most folks seem to like them. Expensive experience...
Have an old style Deltran Battery Tender now and two Noco smart tenders. The smart tenders charge batteries the Deltran thinks are dead, and a lot faster on car batteries. Old style tenders are getting more expensive while smart tenders are getting cheaper, all I'll get now would be smart tenders; most of them will do lithium, too, for when/if I ever get those. Ctek is supposed to be a top smart tender brand, too. I only have the 3 tenders now, could use another. Oh crap, just thought, that Honda I got this year has a battery buried in plastic, that's gonna be fun to get to... not. No tender pigtail, either.

It's daylight at 9:30 here, and I've seen neighbors still mowing the lawn at 10.

When I retired I quit wearing a watch. If I have an appointment or something I have to go to. I just set alarm on phone to remind me.
