But, I knew what I was signing up for when I bought my place five years ago this week.
Not all of us are dumba$$es, and not all of us complain. What I am trying to say here is that I can sympathize about noise problems had by neighbors, and I completely understand your frustrations with their complaints. There are probably other factors at play (local noise ordinances, engine idling ordinances, etc.) that might be preventing the AEMs from idling in outlying yards. But soon, that should no longer be an issue.
