Lunch at Dal' Italia

Rebecca and Troy drove over from Victorville to join us for lunch. We found a little New York Italian pizza place "with attitude" nearby. It came highly recommended by web reviewers, and the pizza did not disappoint. It was hand tossed, and the crust had just the right combination of crispness and chewiness. The owner, Tony, bantered with us.


The restaurant was also quiet enough that we got a good chance to talk with Rebecca and Troy. We were meeting him for the first time, and we learned that he is from North Dakota and loves to fish and hunt. He also loves animals, which is one of the things he and Rebecca have in common. She is planning to open her own business providing a traveling petting zoo for birthday parties, and Troy has already given her a couple of goats for her menagerie. Cathy is quite excited that he has promised her a horse as soon as she and Rebecca move to a place that has room for one.

This morning we had the excitement of having our new toilet installed by Mike Mattio of Affordable RV Service and Repair. While he was here, he also installed the vinyl trim screw cover to replace the part that was torn out by the wind. We are hoping that the new toilet, a Sealand 510H, will work reliably.

Mike did run into one problem--the new toilet is just a bit larger than the old one, and the back of the toilet bumped up against the refrigerator access panel cover (located behind the toilet). He had to remove the cover to get the toilet to seat properly. Now we'll have to figure out another way to cover up the access hole without interfering with the toilet.

This evening we went over to Jeff's place to do laundry and visit with him and Tiffinie. They were out at the Verizon store, getting their new Droids. When they came home, all four of us were sitting on the couches playing with our Droids. Jeff has already discovered his favorite app: a real-time stock tracker so he can monitor all his investments.
