Of course, if Murphy is at bat, the timer will get hit every game!

But on the fence it has nothing, other than area, to protect it. On my mask it has the protection of the temple guard, which is like putting a cage around the timer.

Look, I am not trying to sway any of you to do it "my way (read convenient and intelligent )," I was just offering up a suggestion to the OP.
