so we hate our new neighbors. i am glad that my grandparents are not here to deal with them. and i think the white haired dude who lives behind us is going to have a coronary over them one day.

so, after being kept awake till after midnight by their swimming pool party on a sunday night... (dont the parents have to get up early to go to work???) i rolled into my driveway blasting norwegian rock on 11 only to be told by my kids that the car is fucking soundproof!!! WTF! i failed. alas, the story of my life.

that's it. i don't want to have to spend money, but i think my kids need a drumset for the garage...

either that or i'm sacrificing my compost pile to the pool god. their pool god.

Funny thing about soundproof cars, most of them have windows that go down. I'll warn you now though, it may sacrifice a smidgen of the soundproofing...

What was my response the last time you mentioned this problem?

Bass amp + open window facing neighbor + Django Reinhardt.

yes, but the white haired guy beat me to the punch.

so then i waited to see if the behavior modification from the white haired guy behind us worked for more than a week. it seemed to for awhile: the parents have removed their stereo from the back porch permanently.

now we need to impress upon them the need to teach their kids to hold down the noise after 10pm on work/school nights.

Usually neighbors don't fuck around too late with me, because I get up really early in the morning.

And I'm vengeful.

And I'm creative.

There is a bike that needs the exhaust repacked, but that would rob me of the "hangover maker" when I need it.
