It's now autumn here in SE PA which means my clock stops moving until the
heat has been on in the van for 20 minutes.  I keep telling myself I'm going
to fix it "next spring" but when that occurs the clock is working fine again
until the following fall. Oh well.

Anyway the link I've been saving forever is:

My '84 has the temperature related clock hibernation behaviour.
I understand that its probably the capacitor failing and its an easy fix,
but I just don't care.

Its just another sign of autumn.   :)
