Need to find a timer....

No I am not making a you know what (not gonna say it as they might ship me off to gi tmo for such things).

Anyhow, I am looking for a timer/clock/alarm. It needs to have multiple daily alarms i.e. 5AM and 7PM M-F, 10AM and 7PM weekend. It doesn't need to be an alarm per se, but just an ouput I could use to trigger a relay.

An off the shelf component is fine, an existing product (clock radio, irrigation control etc) that I could modify is fine, or something I could construct would be ok also.

Other constraints:
Compact
Inexpensive ($20-30)
LCD to aid in setting time/alarms
DC is preffered to AC

Any suggestions or links to electrical component companies would be great. Just going out on a limb here and hoping someone knows of something simple.

I have to admit it does sound a little odd

I have a timex data link watch that would work. that is if your soldering skills are that good. even has programable alarms and timers. I should be getting the new usb model after X-mas. If It would work for You I Might be able to help.

edited to clarify.

lol I thought the same thing but then there wouldn't really be a need for multiple timers on one device

There are some brands of "house timers" that allow you to set multiple "pins" to turn current on several times a day, at times you select.

RicheemxX ... you crack me up... but you are so right
