I found another strange factor. If add a TRIS_A xxxxxxxx (any combination of 0's or 1's - Ive tried most all of them) after the Start: label  then I can comment out the SEROUT command. Unfortunately you still need to have either the Serial LCD +5v or GND or both AND the RX connected to ANY of the unused RA lines being RA.3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7. As long as I have it connected to one of them, then the TimeDate(Hrs) ... (Mins) ... (Secs) updates properly from   11:59:50 PM   to    12:00:05 AM. If the Serial LCD is not connected to one of the RA lines (either with a TRIS_A command or a SEROUT command listed after the Start: label) then it will not update properly going from 11:59:50 PM    to   00:00:01 . (???) 

Just thought I would through some more wood into the fire. Don't forget to see my YouTube.com video I made of what it looks like working WITH a serial LCD connected. I will make another video showing what it looks like when the Serial LCD is not connected to an RA line with the wrong display updates on the Time. 

Thanks for sticking with me.
