Corvair engine. I have my radio hooked up, and my wife is visible walking behind the cars with a portable radio in hand.

Hi Dan.  That's my wife walking by.  We block off the area with cars, and post either my wife or a fellow pilot nearby with a hand held radio for safety sake.  Running the engine of a polished airplane that's tied to a tree in the front yard tends to draw spectators. 

 

Sometimes the onlookers get really strange looks on their faces, like they don't believe what they're seeing.  Odd people around here....

I just love the neighbor walking by and checking  you out.. Or is that family?
