Agreed. On the holiday, even a bit on the weekend is fine. But last year we had one asshole somewhere in the neighborhood who was setting off those ones that are literally just a large booming noise until at least 12am for about la week straight. This year has been much more reserved. I’m thinking they either moved or possibly their immediate neighbors threatened them.

Most vehicles don’t even seem to have transmission dipsticks at all, now.
