For some unknown reason my computer likes to lose time. Sometimes its a few minutes (was just 2 minutes behind) but alot of times it loses 3 hours.  
Not one hour, not two hours, not four hours, etc. Always exactly 3 hours.

WTF is going on?

When you lose 3 hours it usually means you have the time zone set incorrectly.  
Make sure it’s GMT -05:00

I just checked and I think it might have been wrong. After setting it to eastern time it went ahead the 3 hours I bumped it up earlier. Thanks. I never thought of that.
