You'd think that there'd be some sort of button on the thing that says something like 'clock' or 'time'. . . but you'd be wrong. I looked at the manual when I first got it, and it was some arcane sequence of pushing button L4 while holding down the 'band' button during a full moon. . . And of course, who the heck keeps track of the owner's manual for their car radio? So the next time I had to reset the clock, it was completely hopeless. So I'm like the rest of y'all now, and during the winter months, the clock on the radio is an hour fast. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-81814489347815163192017-02-16T09:31:05.817-05:002017-02-16T09:31:05.817-05:00Oh this sounds familiar, except it's hubby tha...Oh this sounds familiar, except it's hubby that does the clock setting.

Last week, for example, my speedometer had been changed from miles to kilometers. I nearly had a heart attack thinking I was going 90 MPH in a sort of residential neighbourhood.
