[QUOTE="HSchiller, post: 992856, member: 20167"] There is a delay with my reply posts because evidently new posters here have to get each post approved by the moderator. So again, thank you to everyone offering helpful suggestions even if I don't reply. tsmaxx47, that's really quite a rubbish reply. It's easy to spout hollow bravado like "stand up to him", but what exactly do you think that means? I talked to him about it years ago, showed him the damage and the receipts for the trees. He said he would pay for it and never did. I called law enforcement and they wouldn't even come out. You want me stand and yell in his face that he should remove his cows? I've heard him brag (at a yard sale) that he killed two Mexicans and got away with it. I drove past his home once, faster than he liked, and he followed me for 2 miles to tell me he "would have to have to kill me if I hit somebody". He may be all bark and no bite, but as long as I'm responsible for protecting my family, I'm not going to take the chance and openly get on his bad side. Don't get me wrong, if he threatened my family, considering his history I'd kill him - seriously. That's my version of "stand up to him". I try something new to fix this issue almost every year. But I believe in being tolerant whenever possible. That means I'm a good person and a good neighbor. Last season I built a new large fenced above ground garden.
