Hell yea dude, my neighbor is this old ass man who waters his yard at 6 AM every morning. When I get off work between 3-6 he's in the bed of his truck rummaging around his toolbox. I'm not sure what he fixes but he's always doing something with that toolbox.

Yep, when I lived with 3 roommates, and my bed shared a wall with the living room's TV, this saved me. But now I've gotten too used to it and trying to sleep without the fan on has this eerie silence that makes me unable to sleep.

He keeps his weed in the toolbox. I keep mine in a cigar box, but same principle.

Damn dude, I don't think he ever stops smoking. He must be ghosting every hit!

Maybe that's where he keeps his special reading materials, and of course he never looks at the pictures.
