Domestic hot water ... or how to spin your wheels without getting anywhere

Although  I have never tried it, I hear a shotgun works well for herding cats...  Yep you guessed it, I am not very patient:)

judging from my cat, herding a cat is like trying to push a rope
a long very limp rope...

a long long very very limp rope, with a gnarly attitude

Brett, we were referring to old (when dinosaurs still roamed the earth) analog clocks with electric motors and gears, I remember when they even had real hands! It would run only when the heater element was on, giving a rough idea of runtime.

Yep, Mossberg makes a hell of a pump action cat herder!

I know of the clocks you mention.  I have those old school clock types (that no longer work for my situation) as well as modern digital.  They all fail the listeroid power system.  My wife much prefers the look of analog clocks with arabic numbers, not roman numerals.  Digital clocks may work to tell time, but they are ugly.  We both have an afinity for older technologies.
