[TR] On such a vernal day

[Jim Muller]

Happy DST day.  I wonder why we call it daylight "saving" time, for 
today I awoke to find that I was already running an hour late, not 
having saved anything but lost an hour.

On the other hand, today's temperatures being so vernal, I took to 
the garage and have successfully mated the GT6 gearbox up to the 
block.  I am therefore rewarding myself with a glass of Dogfish Head 
IPA over lunch.  (Ohmigosh, it's three thirty already, where did the 
time go?)  The choice was to go motoring about topdown in the 
Spitfire or to mess about with tools in the garage.  Tools may not be 
boats, but messing about with them has its own peculiar rewards.

Next year though I shall ignore the most heinous component of the DST 
switchover and not bother to re-adjust all our clocks until after I 
have awakened naturally in the morning.
