We crossed the border between PST and DST last night. 3:00 DST came next to 1:59 PST. Whenever summertime starts and ends, we have to adjust every clock in our room. As you know, a lot of home ware and daily sundries have a clock inside, such as a telephone, microwave, rice cooker, radio, and so on. Except for highly intelligent machines such as PC and PDA, which adjust the clock by itself, we have to adjust manually one by one. I did this tiresome jobs last midnight. It took about twenty minutes to adjust every items except for one device. It was the rice cooker that I couldn't adjust the clock without its handbook. I had to be looking for it for thirty minutes at midnight. I keep here the memo about how to adjust the rice cooker clock. "Push the HOUR or MINUTE button for more than one second until a clock mark starts blinking. Then click the HOUR or MINUTE button until it shows the correct time. The clock mark disappears automatically if you don't touch any buttons for more than three seconds."
My God, is that a kitchen appliance or the instrument panel of a BF-109?

I'm afraid you can't start the engine by pushing this START button hundred times.

I have a lot of time in single engine land aircraft, and some military aircraft including rotary wing. Your picture of night flying brought back a lot of memories.

You have a helicopter license too? That's great! I'm interested in it, but it costs too much. As I like flying at low altitude, I'm thinking about getting float rating this year.
