First World Problems...
Yes, that timer is old, and because I am a cheap bastard, I will continue to use it and continue to bitch and moan about it until it explodes in a shower of sparks.
It has many minuscule buttons and a multi-layered series of menus through which I have to wade to program the stupid thing to turn on at dusk and turn off around midnight. Or 11:30pm or 1:00am. I don't care. But I don't want it to turn on at dusk and...stay on until 9:47am! Or never turn on until 6:12am. And who needs seven different programs for some stupid outdoor lights? That is the definition of overkill.
To top off this amazingly irritating piece of equipment...it resets to some default internal program every time there is a power outage. And by "power outage" I mean every time the f*cking lights flicker during a thunderstorm!
Who bought this monstrosity?
Idiot.
