No battery powered alarm clocks?

I just bought six buckets at the dollar store. Drilled a little hole in each. Set it next to tomato and (this year) cucumber plants. When I fill up the bucket, the water dribbles out slowly right at the plant.

Lots of battery powered alarm clocks. But I don't need an alarm clock. I'm retired I just get up when I feel like getting up

Looks like some basement chemists could make out there.

Not a problem anymore. I have my own clock. But I don't use the alarm function. I just want to know what time it is.

I'd wager there might even be a few middle class types who would find it convenient to just glance at a clock when they want to know the time. It's hands free.

What if the clock has hands… are we still hands free?

Smart ass. You know full well you can't take an analog clock into a hotel room for the same reason you can't take pets. Pets have fleas and clocks have ticks (and tocks.)

LOL

Found this today. FM radio + MP3 player. I won't be adding the radio to my DXing arsenal but it's decent for local reception. Can be tuned by scanning or by direct frequency entry using the key pad.

Can play MP3 files from a micro SD card or from a thumb drive, With an SD card in the unit you can download the files directly. Or you can plug a thumb drive into the device and it will read the files and play them.

Has a rechargeable lithium battery

$14.95

Looks like a clock radio. Oh, no.

Ahh.... but was it union-made?

Probably not, at that price.

Are there any Union made, consumer electonics products anymore?

Those jobs disappeared long ago.

Are there any made in North American?

Never heard of a Chinese union.
