I did not put OT since this is related to home ownership.

The three day holiday has had very few quiet moments during the day.
Off and on from about 8 AM to 5 PM there has been some engine
running. Lawn mower, lawn tractor, roto-tiller, power washer,
chainsaw, trimmer.

I realize this stuff has to be done at some time, but it seems as
soon as one stops, another starts.

Yeah, I know we have rights, freedom and all that stuff, but it
would be nice if we had at least some quiet time to enjoy the
outdoors, dinner on the deck, company of friends. Would be nice if
we quit by 4 on Saturday, noon on Sunday. Weekdays, have at it.

I agree with you.

What happened to the old days when people swept their leaves instead
of using a blower ?

I use ear plugs. Used to be only at night.

Not any more.

And all this makes me that much happier to be living in a clearing out in
the woods . I like birdsong in the morning ... and about the only sounds
that the neighbors make (that I hear) makes me think "Randy just shot
another squirrel." and I wonder if he's going to call me when he grills it .
