Our neighbor who moved here about a year ago wife is 1 of those friendly types and is constantly bugging us or the only other full time resident Rich and his wife. My Wife ran into Rich in town and he asked my wife how do you get our neighbor to leave you alone.🤣🤣😂😂This is an example of what I try to avoid at all costs. I don't like being rude but it's better than shooting people...

every sunday after church i go by the house to see how much has been completed during the week. today as i was leaving, a neighbor 2 doors down stopped by and we chatted. he invited me over for a beer and as i walked into his yard i noticed a target hanging in the back yard. turns out not only is he heavily into powder burners, but he has a .25 gauntlet and compressor too! i thought i was going to have to shoot very discretely at the new place, but he says there are no rules against it. so not only does he shoot, he had a huge, fully stocked machine shop too! we discussed turning a new crown on my 2260 barrel and he showed me a small locomotive he is building from scratch. he even turned the wheels himself. so far i haven't met a neighbor in the new place i don't like. how they feel about me is another story.

I wouldn't mind some neighbors like that. You lucked out.
