GoodBye Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Remember to put your clocks back tomorrow night. Sure has been dark in the mornings lately. 818773[/snapback] Yeah, the dark mornings makes it even harder for me to get up. I'm looking forward to the extra hour we'll gain even if it's in the middle of the night. Why not give it to us during the day?
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 hooray, more sleep for school. Instead of going to bed at 1 in the morning it will be midnight. No more ALMOST falling asleep in class some days. Senior year in high school is hard.

GoodBye Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Were you picked on in HS? 818853[/snapback] No, just not the one the guys wanted. They always went after the air-headed cheerleaders. My HS sucked anyway.

Fezmid Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Remember to put your clocks back tomorrow night. Sure has been dark in the mornings lately. 818773[/snapback] Also, our wonderful government signed a new bill/law/something that changes daylight savings time next year: http://www.energy.ca.gov/daylightsaving.html Supposedly it'll save us power or something... It'll also make sysadmin life hell, as a lot of servers will need to be updated to make sure they follow the new DST rules. I know for a fact that midrange Sun servers need to be patched, but it can't be done until after Jan 1st. Thanks, guys. This'll be a mini-y2k for your sysadmins CW

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 If they keep this up, Daylight savings will be from mid-January to mid-December. 818942[/snapback] During the war years it was implemented year round... Actually it was Ben Franklin's idea for saving cost... It just never got implemented till the 20th century... Never could figure out why the farmers would get so mad... Would they have the easiest time adjusting? So the cows come home an hour later, doesn't it just shift an hour later in the morning... Then again, what do I know...

Given that it's better to harvest in daylight, DST makes the farmer wait an hour during the valuble morning time. And a farmer has other business activities to attend to in the general business world. Getting in some harvesting time at 6 AM while others sleep is desirable.

Getting in some harvesting time at 6 AM while others sleep is desirable. 819077[/snapback] Periods of rainy weather during the past few months has, at times, pressured farmers to store wet hay and put their barns at a risk of hay-generated fires, Fires blamed on spontaneous combustion of stored wet hay have occurred this summer causing losses of property and livestock. One reported fire erupted when an electrical spark ignited hay dust. The storage of wet hay is the most common cause of hay fires. When the crop is stored wet, microbial action can generate internal bale temperatures well above 150 degrees . After a certain point of heating from the mold growth, other chemical reactions begin to take place, and it raises the heat to a point where the hay can burn. In general, hay is considered too wet for storage if moisture levels are higher than 20 percent in small rectangular bales, higher than 18 percent in large round bales, and higher than 16 percent in large square bales.
Hammered a Lot Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 If they keep this up, Daylight savings will be from mid-January to mid-December. 818942[/snapback] I thought the change was the week of the TBD Tailgate (Fall back Spring ahead.)
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I just hope that after this weekend, the clock for the Bills doesn't turn back 22 years!

When I read your second paragraph... Things made more sense... Then why wouldn't the farming community make adjustments also, just like the farmer is doing? Then again... This isn't 1896... It is 2006... Things generally, in the business world work 24/7... A freakin' hour? By the time a modern framer polishes off his coffee and donut and hitches him self to his 100's thousand dollar combine, cranks the heat and Lee Greenwood tunes... He (she for the ladies out there) probably only has about 45 minutes anyway... I can see the resistance years ago when our society was a farming society... Today, it seems like they have to make the adjustment. Just my $.02... I can't seem to get the damn marbles out of my mouth... Got any advice on that?
