You know... when I was a kid, those moon pies were great, and then they were hard to find. Got some at a small independent grocery, and kinda, ehh, whatever...

When young, if we tagged alone with dad to the auction to sell sheep, we would get some pork rins and a moon pie,

Wagon wheels.
Two soft cookies with marshmallow in between and covered in chocolate.
They used to be twice as big hence the name wagon wheel.

We had those, they were called scooter pies

I did not know.
The Kanuckistanian version used to be a lot bigger.
I liked the ones that had a thin layer of jelly on the marshmallow.

I believe both come in lots of varieties and sizes.

A Tork 1101B mechanical timer from Home Depot. Simple swap for a unit that went bad. Probably should have bought a replacement motor unit, or just the entire module. Cost difference between the module and entire unit was negligible however. The unit switches my detached garage lights on-off.

I have a similar unit on my aerobic sewage disposal system. It has an aerator motor that has to run about 10 minutes each hour. The company that sells the system (Jet) wants $400 for the timer, but you can get them at McMaster for $60.

I switched from the mechanical timers to digital years ago. The digital are far superior in ability to vary run times. I have 4 on my property. Only thing i have to do is remember to check lithium batteries every few years. Also, remembers time during power outage…no pesky resetting dial. Oh, and automatic DST.
