A Day When Time Stood Still.


Penny and I did go to P.F. Changs today and it was a fun lunch. I’d like to say that the experience at the restaurant with Penny was so moving that it seemed as if time had stopped and it was just the two of us together. We did enjoy each other’s company but it was not that emotional.


The reason I titled this blog the way I did was because I had 2 timepieces stop on me today. When we left the restaurant I checked my watch and it said 11:44. Penny’s watch said 12:15. I checked mine again and the digital display was frozen at 11:44. Hey, maybe 11 and 44 are good lottery numbers. When we got home I noticed that the cat feeder didn’t dispense on time. I checked its display and it was frozen with every LED turned on.


I opened the cat timer and found that it had 2 identical timing circuits. One for the a/c circuit and one for the DC circuit. Each was connected with identical connectors. So I swapped the connectors making the good timer run the feeder. After I put the unit back together the timer circuit that was broken appeared to be OK.


I then opened up the watch and lifted the battery out and put it back in. That’s all it needed.

So time is no longer at a standstill.
