A few random photos

So, I bought a new motorcycle.  Yep, once you go Italian, you'll never look back.  It's an incurable virus.  My new 2016 Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone, my second Moto Guzzi (I sold the last one in 2007).  Mid-sized, lightweight, modest power.  Pretty tame and a lot of fun to ride.  I won't do very much to this motorcycle.  A small windshield was added, and as I write, the seat is at an upholstery shop getting re-worked for a human hind-end to sit upon it.  Of the five motorcycles I've owned, I've yet to have a seat be long distance comfortable.  To me, comfort on a bike is the most important feature and rarely does this mean accepting how the factory delivered it.  At least this time I think I can leave the handlebar system alone, unlike the last two.

Speaking of Italian... just a few blocks down the street from home is one of the best pizza joints in town.  "THE" best?  I don't have a favorite pizza restaurant, instead I have a fluid list of about ten or so high quality pizzas that can be found across the Twin Cities, so no matter where I am, I know I'm just a short drive from spicy, cheesy goodness whenever I have a pizza emergency.  And no, not one of them is a chain pizza.

This one is the "Supreme" (altered to hold the olives and add banana peppers) at Parkway Pizza, Johnson St NE near 29th Ave NE, in Minneapolis.  Okay, this one is regularly up near the very top of that list of pizza restaurants.  And they serve Sebastian Joe's ice cream, too.  How can you go wrong?

This last snapshot was taken at the front door of a house that I was visiting to perform a building permit inspection.  At least I was asked to come to the house.  I wonder where I could get one of these?
