vxo@ai6yr oh gosh, I'd absolutely love combining that with our garden here, just have some kinda weatherproof zone mic out there to bring in the bird calls

Leaf blowers, the neighbor's daughter practicing her new guitar, revving motorcycles, barking dogs, chatty crows, ...
Well, I might not do that in my neighborhood.

Joseph Lamoree@ai6yr I would love a noise canceling solution for my whole house so I don’t have to hear the amateur race car drivers on Reino with their mail order muffler kits.
@jlamoree A bunch of the mail order muffler kids lived down the street here. They also own a couple of giant American-flag-jacked-up-pickups. That said, they seem to have disappeared, I think either one of the kids moved out of his parent's basement, or their preferred hangout moved somewhere else. I kept expecting another one of them to slam into a tree around here.
@ai6yr Nothing expresses patriotism more profoundly than stapling a flag to a 2x4 and speeding through residential neighborhoods.
