Just my cope after an absurdly noisy morning :) happy weekend, everyone.
Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake. I think some boomers and junior boomers like the fact that they're being noisy.

downvotes? I'm guessing you may have offended some folks by badmouthing their favorite toy.
riding lawnmower comes screaming out of the garage at its max speed of 5 mph, the driver dual wielding leaf blowers
Reminds me of my father. He's up super early, like 4 am, and to him 7 am is perfectly late enough to run the wood planer on a weekend day.
Are you one of those damn night people complaining about us morning people getting on with stuff in the limited time window we have?
Don't be ridiculous. He has a lawnmower in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.
The people across the street were grinding tree stumps at 8am Sunday last week. I yelled out the window but it didn't work. They were done and gone by 10, which is when they should have started.
8AM seems perfectly responsible time to start to me. I don't know about your area but 10AM is when the heat starts around here.
In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair
ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime.
The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas.
The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

Back in CA, there was a total , appearance and all, that'd roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he'd blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.
He was still not as divorced as though.
i used to work at a customer service call centre, we had a rule against making outbound calls before 9am
That means you're all going to be quiet and mindful of us third-shifters, right?
...Right?My parents live in the country. They have one neighbor. He's on meth so he likes to start chainsawing right around dark and continues until around 2am.
