Sitting here in Sherwood Forest RV park in Kissimmee.
Heading home on April Fools day to several feet of snow..
Ya I am a fool.

So Sherwood Forest has lots of trees.. :S

Guy just across the road parked under one of the biggest clumps of trees in here and he has a case of OCD regarding leaves.. :B

Trying to sit out today to catch a few rays during our last few days here and out comes his leaf blower.. (this is about third time in last 3 weeks we been here)

Now this is a big, gas powered, looks new from Home Depot blower!!
Its got power and it has no muffler (well maybe it does.. ;))

Crazy part is its also quite breezy today so I see no end in sight..
The leaves are moving around as fast as he blows them away..

He just jumped in his truck and left so its finally quieted down but as I told my wife..
OMG, he's gone for more gas!!!

So I know what I will do..
Since I am leaving (play on words there .. :B) in a few days I will do or say nothing.
However next year we are here for 4 months and what if he's back...? :S

So, if you were parked here AND staying for a while..
What would you do?

He just got back but is now using a rake..
I guess we will go over to the pool. :W

Oh, by the way, if you are currently staying in Sherwood Forest and have a nice big red gas powered leaf blower..
Its that guy in the grey Dodge minivan that posted this, not me. :B :B :B :B

Well tomorrow I pack up to head north to the snow and cold that is still there back in the great white north.
As someone said a snow blower will be needed instead of a leaf blower.

Thanks to the folks of the great old "US of A" for allowing us Canadians to escape the drudgery of constant

When It's 110 F outside I'll head up to Sioux Lookout.

I'd much rather listen to my 4K Onan, (which I usually ignore),than any leaf blower,(which I can't ignore) that's why I don't use mine.

Never made it past high schools don't understand this.

Well I believe I do have a sense of humour (Canadian spelling) so I won't get upset that you imply I don't have a high IQ.
After all I said I never went to school past high school and I am only 5'7&7/16" tall so not that high an IQ.. :@ :h.

Past the high school was all bush and story was there was bears and wolves and mermaids there, that's why I never went past the high school..

Again, a truly O-C-D person would resort to having the letters placed in order, hence C-D-O.

Gotcha! But then don't you think it make him CRAZY because his disorder would get ordered?? :B

Sorry, it was intended only for those with a high IQ

Tsk, tsk, not very nice.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

If you are going to take a leaf blower to a CG you don't need a CG, you need a condo timeshare plan.

It is in the right order. It's Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I'm neurotic. I know these things! :B

I realize you are on vacation, but if your neighbor at home leaf-blowed like that would it be an issue there? Me, I hate leaf-blowers, including the one my hubby uses. And chainsaws, lawn-mowers and other small-engine machines. I am highly noise-sensitive which stems back from when I was hypoglycemic. I'm diabetic now and do you think it would balance off??? Oh, NOOOOOO, it's worse! Oh, did I tell you I sometimes ramble??? :B So if the noise bothers me I just grab my MP3 so all I can hear is music.
