Time Management 101
(3)
I just now tried to revive that little music box. Apparently the gears are giving out and it stops even when wound up. And I just noticed that there is, in fact, no dancer on top, but three little mice sitting in three little teacups. Rats. It plays a note about every several seconds... Barf.
Working on beer 8... Kootch recently noted disgustedly that it was 'made in China.'
Concerning the electronic timer mentioned in (4) and (5) below, it is still working beautifully. It is a vast improvement over the mechanical timers which always failed after several months of use. Furthermore, this timer can be irritating! it beeps. The mechanical timers rang out when time was up, but this sucker beeps. You cannot ignore this timer. If you ignore it, it begins to beep faster. If you still ignore it, (heavy face rad - sneezing, tearing, huge mucus flows -> LR...
I'm back a minute or two later, snuffing up mucus and swallowing (thump) it as necessary.)
If you still ignore it, it beeps even faster! Finally, if you continue to ignore it, it becomes quiet and counts up instead of down so that you can determine exactly how long you have been... 'unfocused.' Highly recommended.
