In the hills West of Stanford, I saw this season's first poppies.....
And there were daffodils in other places where it wasn't convenient to stop. And fields of mustard in bloom. It was about 61 degrees or so, and not a cloud to be seen.
*To be completely accurate, this isn't the first time in a while that I've ridden the Ritchey, since it's been my trainer bike for a couple months now. But not on the road for a while. Road is COMPLETELY different!

I remember finishing all of the undone projects before selling our last house. We weren't living there anymore. When Mrs. rjones28 toured the sale-ready house, she said that she wanted to move back.

mid job. This house is all wet plaster but you can tell it was the lowest bidder.

On the drywall thing. Most of what makes drywall sanding suckn is how the compound was applied. On a good hang, sanding is minimal really. Repair work on the other hand can get out if control easily.
