Pros:
-The sheer amount of work should wiggle me completely out of debt by about mid-April so I can start my 32nd year out of money trouble.
-I'll know so much about lawn tractors and mowers, I'll be able to have my initials double for John Deere. I may even be able to chaw tobacky (in my case, Big League Chew) and talk shop with the overall wearing locals in eastern Colorado.
Cons:
-My already-flailing social life will be absorbed in a fury of lawn clippings.
-I may actually take to wearing a puffy green and yellow cap in earnest.
In some ways I can consider this the final phase of my book--the "making the money to pay back the whole project" phase. The timing is decent because as soon as the lawn care work is done I can focus on promoting my book/slideshows/etc. for the spring. I'll admit, my NES time is taking a big hit but this is what being an adult is all about (until May).
