Yes sir. I say that often. Down here, as you know, lawn maintenance is a 10-11 month business. Almost year 'round. That's about right for a nice vacation. We have a friend of Betty's that used to teach to do our lawn when we're on the road. A crew cab truck, 2 zero turns, and 3-4 helpers on weed eaters. Lots of regular customers. Nothing too technical. Just mows and trims, no fertilizer or chemicals. A fair percentage is cash. She is happy.
