papa.. here you go...

What are the Pink Sheets' trading hours?
The Pink Sheets follows regular market hours, from 9:30 AM until 4:00 PM ET. The Pink Sheets follows the market calendar of the Nasdaq Stock Market and is closed on the days that Nasdaq is closed. The Quotation system is available from 7 am to 5 pm every business day. However, individual traders at a market maker control when the trader's quotes are open and firm.

2569 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 12 / Friday, January 19, 2007 / Notices

4632. Transaction Reporting

So... since the Pinksheets does not accept pre-market or after hours trades, stock traded exclusively on Pinksheets that contain the "T" indicator (such as the trades you mention) are trades that did not meet the 90 second posting rule as per above. If the "T" trade appears at the beginning of the day it is because it wasn't posted before 5PM on the preceding day.
