I did my reading of the NOISE ABATEMENT AND CONTROL
" Vehicle Repair in residential areas.The repairing, or testing of any motor vehicle or Its engine between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. within any residential area in such a manner as to disturb the peace, quiet, and comfort of the residences of the area"
Now I work for the government, all day interpreting code, and can clearly read that I was in no violation, according to this paragraph.
I guess It was my new arrogant neighbor, that called the police on me, not positive, but he was sitting on the deck, on his cell phone, so maybe he couldn't hear who he was talking too. idk.
I am going to talk to him. I will say " I apologize for the police showing up at my fence gate at 6:30 p.m., with a complaint that my boat engine was too loud. I will explain to him that in the 8 years I have owned this home, I never had a complaint about anything that i worked on or otherwise. I also will let him know that it was an accident that I could have prevented, had I payed more attention to what I was doing" and see his reaction
my wife thinks maybe he ( if indeed called the police) he may do it again as soon as I try to start her up again, without it being in WOT....
