We are the best neighbors

we keep our shit clean and tidy


except 4th of july

then, we are juveniles

 

Yuup

 

And the lawn might, just barely, pass a @T-Rex266 inspection

 

Yeah, and it’s not a like a Subaru doesn’t have a tight turning radius. WTF use the street people.

 

So funny story...

I used a similar system for my dog kennels back in vegas... I'm not a fan of bark collars, and w/5 runs, it would get a bit animated once one dog got going. So, I bought a system that had a sound sensor instead of a motion sensor and once the sound exceeded the db limit or quantity of barks within a certain time frame, the impact sprinkler would fire off and drive them back in to the interior part of the kennel building.

Well, this worked well for about 2 weeks, then the spaniel decides.... 'Holy shit, check this out guys'... When it gets hot AF outside, I just bark a few times, and we're instantly playing in the water and getting cooled off

Mind you, the interior part of the kennel was evap cooled and was actually quite nice in their during the summer. I could generally keep the interior part of my kennels cooled between 70-80 degrees (even when it was 115 out)... There were days I'd go hand out in the kennels just cuz it was cooler than the house. But, damn a couple of those guys just loved laying out in the heat and direct sunlight

 

Penalty free withdrawals from my IRAs/401k/457 retirement accounts.

That way I can retire early without drawing on my pension and taking a hit

 

I’m in!

I haven’t had a bottle rocket war since I was 10.

 

Note to self, scratch the bottle rocket war, take the juvenile meter down a bit, recalibrate.

 

This type of inconsiderate shit absolutely pisses me off, we live in a culdesac so we get all the people that actually use it for it’s purpose and while it’s annoying as our cameras are constantly getting set off and notifications on our phones etc.. I just don’t get why there are so many people constantly driving past our house, there’s only 4 houses on our street and an intersection maybe 50 yards before the culdesac so you can clearly see that it isn’t a through street. There’s only about 25 houses total in our neighborhood so it can’t be people that live there so it’s like where the f#*k are these people coming from to get lost in this area. Aside from that there is the one neighbor that every morning I see him walking his two small dogs on retractable leashes and lets them go way out into the middle of peoples yards to shit and piss. I do see him standing in the middle of peoples front yards picking up the dog shit but dog piss kills grass and it’s just disgusting and disrespectful to let your dogs do this, I know which house the guy lives in and he has a huge fenced back yard so he could easily let them out to do their thing in his yard but he doesn’t want to mess up his own lawn so he takes them around the neighborhood several times a day. We just put down all new grass in our front yard and if I see him letting his dogs on the new grass he’s definitely going to get a piece of my mind. Several houses actually have put up small signs like this in their from lawns because of this guy.
All things that you have to expect to deal with living in a neighborhood I guess but a little common courtesy goes a long way sometimes.

 

I guess Texas doesn't enforce property rights like I thought. I don't consider a private driveway to be part of a municipal road that everyone can use. What your neighbors are doing falls outside of what I would consider de minimis use.

When I finally win that lottery jackpot, I'm getting a place in the countryside where I can't see or hear my neighbors. I want to exist in a bubble of peaceful solitude and not have to deal with "people drama".

 

@nobodyintexas this might be an easy solution for you that I have also considered!

those bollards that retract into the ground would be awesome.

 

Why not start turning around in their driveway?

 

Do not become what you behold

If you built your own subdivision, you could have more control. The bollards, or a gated private street.

Heck, you could even name it Get Off My Lawn Estates.

I like the spike strips idea best. Followed by a motion activated rock throwing device. Doesn't have to be big rocks. Just big enough for the perps to realize they have crossed the line...

 

@Florida AF
Or anyone else familiar with Tampa & Orlando airports.

Looking for input on the two-
Traffic congestion in and out?
Interior terminal layout and flow?
Excessive delays at one more than the other?

Ticket prices may sway us one way or the other if it's a significant difference.

Starting to plan a week in May for my wife's 40th.

 

Whataburger was never great

Freddy’s is better

and that’s sayin’ somethin’

 

i dread a messed up sleep pattern

it takes me 2 days to get straight

 

my in-laws live outside Orlando. We fly in and out of there often. Seems like an easy in and out every time we've done so. I guess it really depends on where you're going once you're there.

 

Yep wheresthatburger sucks. I've been saying it since the first one I ever had 20 plus years ago.

 

@j-utah, how do you live down here in FOCO? It's way too hot to enjoy being outside. Unless you're on the poudre of course...
