I tried to go to bed around midnight, which is very early for me, but I knew I had to be up early today to deliver groceries to Senior Citizens. POW.... wait for it...POW....POW.... wait for it...POW!
It was to the point I decided to hunt down the offending source and take actions into my own hands. I was thinking more than a sternly worded letter, if you know what I mean. This has been going on for several days. That's plenty of time to get this fixed!
I drove over to where I thought the noise was coming from, a pumping station about a mile away. I soon learned this was not the culprit. Everything was running smoothly and I could not hear the noise at all. I then drove the "block" on both sides of my place and still no sign whatsoever. But as soon as I pulled back in my driveway I once again heard the gunshot like sounds.
Whatever the source is, it is well hidden. I'm beginning to think it IS an old pumpjack on some small operator's lease hidden back in the woods.
Regardless of the source, it kept me up all freakin' night! I turned up the TV loud enough to cover the sound, but then the TV was too loud for me to go to sleep. I even took a sleeping pill around 3am. At 5am I'm still wide awake and decided it's too late to take another or I'd never wake up in time for work (or walk around in a daze all day at work).
So today should be interesting. 100 degree heat + deliveries + not sleeping a wink in over 24 hours = fun, fun, fun....

So much for "early to rise and early in the sack." I can empathsize since I can't sleep with noise of any kind.
May I suggest earplugs?
Hope it gets better. No sleep is no fun. Good on you for your grocery delivery.

So what the hell is the noise? Surely you have found it by now!!
