No, see post #5 above.Am I the only one that thinks that if you are asking this question, you ARE the asshole of the neighborhood?
Neighbor just sold his 3 unit home immediately next door. At first we were a bit miffed because a young UK couple bought it.... but then, they rented the 2 smaller units and split.
Just spoke with one of the renters yesterday at the local town watering hole. Turns out the 2 smaller units have been long term rented, and they plan to keep the main unit for their own sporadic use.
No neighbors is GREAT!!!!!

I was just camping at Leo Carrillo and motherfuckers had leaf blowers for camping. Jesusfuck. They were electric, but still.
Dude gotta get with the times.
I got a Milwaukee electric. Take it with my truck all the time.
blows sand out my camper shell and truck bed and out of my car.
cleans out my tents camping. Blows leaves out my boat and stuff too.
it’s electric so it isn’t loud.
Compared to a gas one it’s pretty quiet. Longest it’s ever running is like 20-30 seconds anyway
I love my dewalt blower.
I’ve sometimes gotten passive aggressive back and will blow the leaves he shoots under our fence back into his yard + some extras after he’s made his pass.
He can’t hear mine over the gas and variable trigger can keep it pretty low in dB level so you can sneek up on fools.
I was raised to respect other peoples peace & quiet. When we were kids and running around the house yelling my dad would have told us to keep it the fuck down. I tend to do the same as an adult.
I mean if it’s 9am at a campsite and someone’s blowing an electric blower for 30 seconds to get some sand out their truck and you’re upset then you might be (most likely are) a KarenI was raised to respect other peoples peace & quiet.

Overall my neighborhood is great. Kids get along and play together, we hang with a few other parents, I deliver smoked albacore to my neighbors after fishing trips, it's a good spot. There are a few sus neighbors but they keep to themselves. All the lots are 1 to 3 acres, so there is plenty of space.
There was a guy shooting his hunting rifle in his backyard, but through the woods my kid and a few other kids were downrange. Even though I support the 2nd Amendment 100%, we can't have children being put in danger. Rather than confronting the guy myself (which could have gone really bad), I called the sheriff and reported it, making it clear that I didn't want him to get in trouble, I just don't want him shooting in the back yard. I wish I could shoot off my porch too, but we can't.
We recently gave a kid in the neighborhood our daughter's old scooter. The kid's older brother took it and started ghost riding it down the hill into trees and bushes, repeatedly. He's 12 and knows better. I took the scooter back and explained how that wasn't the intent of giving them the scooter.
So I guess I don't want to be the asshole of the neighborhood, but I don't back down from the challenge either!

Would taken me until age 29 to know better not to do that
That’s the one gamble of purchasing a home. You can get stuck with neighbors who will make your life miserable.
Well, if you cant stand a little dirt or sand maybe you shouldn't be camping!
leaf blower at a campsite for some dirt is pretty funny. what happened to just flipping over your tent and shaking before you pull the poles?
I bet it’s also useful for keeping the sand off the starlink satellite dish and out of the crevasses of the lazy boy in the RV.
