That's great that you went/are going teejai! The twitch grass doesn't sound like fun though. My aunt, after she retired from teaching had a little landscaping sort of business and I was visiting her (she lives in San Francisco and I in Maryland) and she took me out on a job and I helped her with the crabgrass. It was very weird as it reminded me of my own teen years when my stepmother had made my brothers and me help with the weeding and lawn cleanup, etc.

I'm thinking of going out in my own yard in a bit and doing some leaf raking from old/last year leaves and cutting back a bush or planting some green beans, etc. I planted my lettuces the other day.
