What a day I had this week. It was one of those lights on but nobody home days. To start things off I woke up at 0200 but thought it was 0500. No big deal normally. This time unlike the other times I remember, I didn't check on other clocks in the house to confirm this. I just took it at face value. When I turned on the tube to check the news I couldn't understand why the 5 o'clock new wasn't on yet. Instead all I saw was the prerecorded news from the night before. When I stopped at Starbucks I was a little annoyed that it was still closed. That both Starbucks and Einstein bagel were both late in open perplexed me though. I can understand one store may be a little tardy but two businesses was unheard of. I was wondering whether there was a time change and I wasn't informed. Of course if it were a time change then time would of sprung forward not backward. Also how would that explain being behind by two hours. I was confused but I still couldn't put two and two together. Even when I was baffled that KPRZ was still playing the spanish version of their program when it was suppose to be playing Through the Bible did I catch on. Not until I reached the Starbucks in Coronado did I finally start to understand. I got out of the car and checked the business hours and discovered that on Friday it was suppose open at 0430. "Whoo, 0430 than that Starbucks wasn't just a little late. I was..." That was when I pulled out my PDA to check the time and found that it was 0300 not 0600. Even then I didn't believe it I had to get in the car and check the clock on the radio. Lo and behold they all sync'd up to tell me my watch was off by three hours. Boy did I feel like a genius.
Of course that wasn't all. Later on that day I helped pull boats out of the water. After the boat I drove the boat onto the trailer I lifted the engines so they would scrape on the top of the concrete ramp. Not to high though lest I pull the suction out of the water and screw up the water pumps. I did everything but shut the engines off. It wasn't until we were at the building 30 seconds later did Roper get out of the truck and tell me to turn off the engines. Needless to say, he was pissed, especially Since pumps cost money and he would have to change it out.
