Greatest thing since sliced bread...

[hoodat]

Marvellous stuff.... but, I often wonder what was the best thing before sliced bread...

I think that the year before sliced bread, the best thing was pneumatic tires. Or was it flush toilets?? hmmmm. jd

I have been using a simple timer like this for many years. Comes on at dusk and you set how many hours you want it to stay on. 2/4/6/8/dawn.

I use these with my christmas lights and one on my case cleaner, use the 2 hour setting for that...I might have a tendency to forget it is running...have to cover the "eye" as it will only turn on in darkness.

Use these year round in the Chicken Coop and Bird house where we have Pheasant and Chukars.

Ain't Technology Wonderful !

I thought turning off the switch on the power cord strip was neat ...
Yes Sir ... better than sliced bread ... and only $10 to boot !

Whenever I hear the greatest thing since sliced bread I think of Spiderwire fishing lines.

Flushing is OK, but I vote for toilet paper, with or without the flush !

I was at Home Depot today and looking for the old time giant C9 bulb Christmas lights from my youth and...

>>>SNIP

I like the large size christmas lights too, like the C9.

A few years ago, I bought two strings of a New LED light set, that are the size of the old C7 and while most LED's are painfully too bright, these LED C7 clones give off a "dim glow", like the old timey incondesant C7 would. That same year, after christmas, I went back to the store and bought up all the remaining dim glow C7 clone sets for pennies on the dollar on closeout. That's all I use now.

btw, I've always used a timer for christmas lights (dusk til dawn).
