[Boatanchors] Speaking of cheap stuff (was harbor freight and soldering guns)

[Jim Wiley]

Amazon.com has a good selection of 12 and 24 hour clocks in both analog 
and digital formats.  Most of them run on one or two AA or C cells, and 
will typically run for 1 to 2 years on a battery.   If changing 
batteries bugs you, you could rig up a small power supply, possibly from 
a re-purposed  "wall wart".
