Neigbor mowing at 7AM this morning.

My neighbor. My neighbor is thinking of the bees. 🤬

Do we live in the same neighborhood? I have one of those neighbors as well.

False alarm. He’s mowing. Like right now. At 8:53pm on Sunday

I’m curious, why can’t someone mow from Noon to 3pm?

What's up with noon-3? Nap time?

Yes, nap time. I don’t have little ones anymore, but I’ll always go out if my way to protect that time frame if I know there are little ones within earshot.

Anyone who has ever fought with an over-tired baby/toddler who won’t/can’t sleep knows of which I speak.

That's why the good lord invented sound machines. I'm the one with little ones in our neighborhood and I often fire up the mower during naptime. Our kids have always been good sleepers thankfully.

In our old neighborhood the across the street neighbor had a riding mower with headlights and he only mowed after the sun went down. He was an odd duck.

I'll be mowing and doing yardwork from 6pm-dark this evening. No headlights on my push mower, though.

Mowing until dusk is pretty normal.

Not mowing until after dusk is unusual.

I will never fault it shame another parent about doing what they need to do to survive parenthood.

However, I’m personally against the sound machines if you can get away with it. I know a startling number of teenagers and even adults who can now not sleep without a sound machine, fan, etc. I know families that have to pack 5 fans for a weekend trip.

If my neighbor can rev his motorcycle at 7:00 am I can mow at 7 am. That being said, I don't.

Why did they skip 10am - 2pm?

 

[torbee]

Why did they skip 10am - 2pm?

That is happy hour/two-for-ones at OP’s mom’s house. No one mows during that time period.

 

[7 Dunks]

I had a neighbor that used to START mowing a 8:30 PM and mow in the dark. Very strange.

I have that neighbor now!

 

[whatsup13579er]

Why did they skip 10am - 2pm?

Also, 6pm is typically hotter than Noon.

Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation and Sun Exposure | US EPA

While we need some exposure to sunlight to help our bodies make vitamin D, too much UV is dangerous. Almost half the daytime total of UV radiation is received between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Even on a cloudy day, you can be sunburned by UV radiation.

I trim OP's mom's bush around 11:30 a.m. and then I fertilize it.

Lucky for us all, your seed isn’t very effective.

So very true.

Mowing should only be allowed from:
-9am-Noon and 3pm-7pm on weekdays
-10am-Noon and 3pm-8pm on weekends

lol

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

That takes some balls. I was up at 5:45AM so no big deal to me, but damn.

Never thought of using the mower for white noise!

Except OP's mom, if you know what I mean

and 7 pm on weekdays is a little early for a deadline.

 

[seminole97]

That reminds me. I seem to be the only person in my new neighborhood with a gas trimmer. Makes me feel a little awkward when I am running it full open to knock down a weed.

I tell my grounds supervisor to wait until 9 am as a courtesy to the owners of properties near my estate.
