Atomic Clock

[allspec33351]

When I awoke this morning both of my atomic clocks were wrong. One off by an hour and the other by 10 hours and 50 years.

Anybody else experience any problems last night with their Atomic clock(s)

I refuse to have a nuclear reactor in my home...the barn maybe but what good would a clock be in the barn

My atomic clock was fine when I woke up, but I'm having continual problems w/finding myself in 2 places @ the same time.

You experienced a time warp; you came too close to a super massive black hole, entered a parallel universe, or traveled to the 11th dimension.

Now, I know why at first I was hesitant to post about my atomic problems.

Hi Mitchell,

Please explain it to those of us who're not too techie oriented. Are you referring to the clock on your computer or some kind of a clock that receives a satelite signal to keep it accurate?

OT - OF!!!

Mitchell,

I had those clocks at work and occasionally they would be screwed up when I opened in the morning.

They are clocks that receive a signal and it adjust the time on your clock to the atomic clock. Some cars also have them. It is a good idea to have one if you live in an area that has a lot of power failures.

Thanks Chad.

Hi,

Okay, thanks. Now I understand. I think my new CD player has one because I've never had to set the time on the damned thing, which is for me the greatest technological innovation of the millenium. No time glitches though.

I've got one that occasionally goes haywire. Mine is supposed to receive a radio signal to keep itself on track but we have very poor radio reception here.

I suppose that stray radio waves in that frequency would play havoc with one of these things.

There are two in my home. No problems with either one. ---- wouldn't be with out one.

So, what could influence two of these guys in one location? Any techies out there?

I was thinking this was all foolish, until my wife fried up some eggs and bacon last night for supper. She was looking a little older and had a few more grey hairs and kept babbling about AARP.

I quickly recognized the problem, thanks to TIJ and Captain, and ran back to the office and re-set the atomic clock.

Things are good in Mid-Mich now; wife is friskey, lower colesterol, no missed appts, etc..

Thank You Captain!
