As promised, pictures of Sophia after brake, wheel and drivetrain upgrades. I went for a visit to mom and dad's on Saturday and brought her along. Roads are still too salty to ride her but she's pretty much done. I still haven't ruled out a factory paint job but not this year. That original blue/white fade still grabs me.

Looking pretty sweet

Everybody Wins

We picked up a pizza for supper last night at European Bakery. First off for $20 including tax you get a large with everything on it. It's a great deal and an excellent pizza. We get enough for at least two meals.

They have a program running where patrons donate $3 towards a free slice of pizza for anyone that needs it. So far there have been more than 500 slices donated and 300 claimed. Speaking with the owner, he told me they had to hire someone outside the family just to keep up. So a job is created, needy folks are getting some real food and as someone who donated, I know there's a great feeling for anyone who pays it forward.
