By this time, it was 10pm and my neighbor with the floodlights appeared at his back door complete with an evil grin and turned on the floods. At that point I noticed that he had trimmed back his trees in a way that the shade from his floods was minimized.
Hi nFA,
Congratulations on your VROD.
Is the above statement for real? If so, OMG what an ^%&^#$$%^!!! I would put up a big blind or screen, black on my side and with a big moon facing his side and note moon is spelt in lowercase because I'm not talking about the Earth's satellite.

It is, unfortunately, true. The couple that lives there regularly engage in conversation about how obnoxious it is that I set out my rigs. I'm looking for a suitable blind or screen....
