simple clock without use of rtc

arduino clock no rtc

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

//this loop will conintue to keep looping so that the time can go as follows

Nice project and it works. But how to set the initial time?

The time shows fine until 9:59:59. It goes from 9:59:59 to 248:243:236. Also, if I change the start time to (line 16) to 08 or 09, I get an error.
error: invalid digit "9" in octal constant
int initialHours = 09;//variable to initiate hours

I'm REALLY new at this so please don't explain it as if to an expert. Thanks
