Found something I think will work well. Even buying the parts at retail+
(like radio Shack), the cost should be well below that of a commercial
timer.

This should do until I decide to jump into the 1990's and get the
equipment
to program pic's.
The one mod I'm thinking about is to replace the "fire" transister with an
SCR. Maybe not, just somethign to play with when I breadboard the
circuit.
