Noisy Neighbors

Have you ever had someone around all the time that you wished would go away? I don't mean forever, just, maybe, for a week or so? I have a neighbor that needs to take a vacatoin before I go insane. He mows his yard ALL the time, I swear. We live in the country, so he isn't RIGHT next door, but about a half a mile away. The noise bounces off the hills, though. I'm ready for a break from it. Problem is, I have tried absolutely everything I can think of. Last time they were here, I even left a couple Florida vacation brochures lying around, hoping his wife would decide they needed a break. No dice. They just talked about hedging tools. Ah, well. They really ARE nice people.
