One neighbour with the mower.

Another with the pressure washer.

A third one with the whipper snipper.

Fourth one is eyeing them, and about to join in.

Sometimes I wish we had looser gun laws.

Huh.. I’ve done all three of those today.

I'll be doing two of these three on Saturday, maybe I should consider body armour?

Weekends are fine and kind of expected. I guess it's my own fault for working from home today. Oh well.

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I sometimes have to do this stuff during the week if I'm working on a weekend. I guess there's no one time that suits everyone! Always make sure I don't start until 10am at the earliest.

We have much yard and being on a corner, two frontages, but I still just try and get it all done as quickly as I can because A) consideration for my neighbours and 2) I just hate doing it!

Hey I get it. All neighbours in question are retired and have plenty of time. I guess when every day is a weekend, time goes out the window.

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

OHH see now THAT'S DIFFERENT!

It's like when you're at the post office on a saturday and it's totally packed with retirees lined up out the door to pay their bills and I'm internally screaming COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE THIS DURING THE WEEK?!?! 🫠

Want a hand with the gun shopping? 😁

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago

I'm sure we can get a good deal if we're buying bulk.

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't the gun be just as noisy?

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For a few seconds, sure. Then peace and quiet, until the sirens I suppose.

My go-to mantra is "it's not worth the jail time.".

Do you like vintage jazz? I can recommend Sing Sing Sing for out-noising noisy neighbours.

I've got ear buds in and got some chill house music going. I was only musing on the violence. They'll be quiet in an hour.
