Neighbor Guy

It's another one of those absolutely glorious fall days.  The temps are just right,  the sky is full of fluffy white clouds and there is just enough breeze to move the leaves on the trees.  It's one of those days that you don't want to be inside.........and therein lies the problem. Neighbor Guy doesn't want to be inside either.

You have to understand Neighbor Guy.  He's 70 something years old,  well preserved because of the amount of alcohol he consumes on an hourly basis,  smokes pot,  and has no filter on his mouth.  That is probably due to the alcohol and pot smoking.   For the most part,  we've learned to ignore him.

Now Neighbor Guy has an old truck that he has been working on for 5 or 6 years.  He worked on it for a long time himself and then took it off to a mechanic, who put in an engine and brought it back.  Now when they brought it back, it sounded good,  but Neighbor Guy didn't like that,  so he's working on it again.  Now it doesn't run at all unless you rev the engine as high as it will go for extended periods of time.  Usually this is done at a time that D is on nights and sleeping during the day.  Our bedroom is right next to their driveway where the truck sits.  D has the window open to get the breeze.  You see where this is going.  Right?

Today,  Neighbor Guy added a whole new dimension to the revving up of the motor for 10 minutes.  He has a horn on the truck.  Not your normal every day horn for a vehicle,  but this one is a horn for a clown car.  You know the sound I'm referring to I'm sure.  It goes  OOOOOGA...........OOOOOGA......Yes,  that one. Today,  he tried out the horn while revving up the engine.  The engine revving,  the horn blowing,  Lucy barking because he was disturbing her,  the cat flying into the house with her ears laid back and fur all ruffed up...........

Yes,  it is just a normal day at the Pirate's Lair on Circus Street.   A beautiful fall day filled with the wonderful fall sounds of revving engines and oooga horns and Neighbor Guy,  and I get all this entertainment for free!
