Title: Goodbye Datlight Saving
Post by: LostArrow on November 01, 2013, 07:45:14 AM
Where I live there are two seasons for cooking, dark when I get home & daylight when I do ::)
When it's daylight I'll often grill on charcoal 2-3 times a week & smoke something on the weekend,usually on the big New Braunfel's.
During the dark i use the gasser more & smoke more often on the Kamodo .
Even though it's cool this weekend I'm doing a cook on the big cooker, 4 butts for later & 2 racks ribs.

I prefer the extra light in the morning either to start an all day cook or to pull something off after an all night cook without having to do it in the dark.

I'm not looking forward to the time change either :( Dark when I get up for work.. and dark when I get home.. ugh. Well at least my Mak is on my covered back porch and it is well lit...

I start work at 5 a.m. so I always leave in the dark. I tend to like it getting dark earlier cause it makes me slow down in the evenings and relax a bit more since I sack out so early.

Well, since the amount of daylight here in my little slice of the tropics only varies about 2½ hours between the summer and winter solstices, we don't need no Daylight Saving Time (but we sure are perplexed by those of you who do).

Daylight Saving Time is dumb... it had a purpose but that's long gone.

Who needs it? It needs to go away.
