[MENTION=3822]Xpress[/MENTION] if you decide to come up, I will drag my 5th wheel over and we all can have some fun!! They have a great mower that can mow at 15 mph, they have fights to see who gets to mow lol Out where the sagebrush used to be they use a tractor with a 3 point hitch and pto with a brush hog.... takes no time at all....

I'd have to be in a hazmat suit to mow grass.... Fresh cut grass drives my allergies insane.

Whenever they decide they're going to host another huckfest then I'll look into going back up :D

You never know sometimes though, people change their minds like the weather changes.

Wasn't it mostly the farmer that had a beef with it?

It was the neighbor who squaked

I've got a neighbor like that. He hates noises of any kind, lawnmower, weed whacker, he even hates the sound of my factory bone stock motorcycle warming up in the morning. And he's one of those guys that likes to express his distaste for something so we've had a a few run in's with him. Just yesterday I was running up my Slick in the driveway getting it all dialed in when I saw him walking out in an uproar, yelling at me.

Of course I never bothered to shut down my engine, I was too busy trying to get the carb to close fully when I hit my kill switch. When I finally did get it shut down the only thing I calmly said to him was that he was making more noise than I was at that point, which prompted him to glare at me while he walked back.

Some people... :rolleyes:

Good for you.... As long as it isn't obscene noise like say a YS .91 on a tuned pipe then people should just leave well enough alone. I have had my run ins with people and model engine noise... Its more to the point that they don't see past the nose on their faces, my riding mower is much louder than any of my gassers.... and they don't complain about that...... As you say Some People!
