has wall clocks that are not on the wall!

I have this one clock in my garage...I purchased from Staples years ago. I installed horizontal 2x6s on one garage wall to hang garden tools etc, on. The garage has higher ceilings than the rest of the house, and this clock hangs on a 2x6 way high up, close to the ceiling, so I never change it because that would require me dragging the ladder out. The only time I touch it is when I have to change the battery. Even then, it's a pain in the ass to hang it back up; it takes me forever to hook it over the screw in the 2x6.

Also, there are two things that I'm terrible at, so I try to avoid doing them:

1) Winding up a hose or extension cord properly

2) Setting the time on digital clocks.

So best of luck in setting your car clock! I just leave mine.

Hope you are having a nice day.
