I went to bed about 2:30 this morning. About 8:00 I was blasted out of bed by chainsaws. My next door neighbor is having some trees taken down. It sure is fun trying to sleep through the lovely sounds of chainsaws. It was fun. I love not getting enough sleep.

:disgust: i hear ya man. couple months ago the stupid city decided that they were going to trim the trees in a parking lot next to my apartment complex. well of course my room was right NEXT to the trees. 630am rolls around and they go to work...and they don't just chainsaw the branches off...they run them through a WOOD CHIPPER!!!!!!!!! that was what REALLY pissed me off. now i live in a house and they aren't done with all of them in the neighborhood yet. trucks, machines, saws, hammering all at about 7am. everyday. it SUCKS. so i feel for ya.

My neighbor tried something like that, only at 5am, cutting wood until 10pm or so, with a commercial lumber chainsaw with no muffler.

Needless to say, the next morning at 2am I decided to burn trash. I cleaned out my room and basement, and the garbage consisted of atleast...

Last year's fireworks (LOTS of M-100's, Screaming Moon Rockets, Whistling fountains, etc)
6 half full propane bottles
Two 1,000 strip firecracker rolls
10 aerosol cans
1300 rounds of old ammo
400 old 12 gauge shotgun shells
100 old 16 gauge shotgun shells
30 12 gram CO2 cylinders
more stuff that I can't remember

...and 5 gallons of gasoline, five gallons of diesel, 2 gallons of motor oil, and six old trailer tires. Well, lets just say he never pulled that stunt again. I had to get a new burn barrel afterwards, but it was worth it. You could feel the heat for like a 200 foot radius, and that barrel glowed like the nose on the space shuttle.
