Scare

Hi All,
I just had the living daylights scared out of me.
I have a small Grandfather clock mounted on the wall just above the computer.
I stopped the pendulum,a year ago right on 5 o'clock, as the hourly striking was driving me mad,and havent heard a peep out of it since.
I had just been out looking at Orion,the Pleiades,m41,etc with a pair of Binos,
Sat down at the computer, and the Damn clock struck the 5 hour,and almost gave me a Coronary.
Didn't do our pet Cockatiel any good either,as he Screamed, and flew around the cage in a fit.
The Clock will be removed to the Shed in the morning.
I need to go change.
Regards.John
