Minneapolis, Minnesota Again

We are still here!  Amazing!  We spent the day at the RV park.  I got up and ran and Dave got up even earlier and started working on my computers.  After 8 hours and a lot of tedious work Dave did an awesome job and got the job done!  He thinks he is turning into a handy man.  I can see whats next...tool belt, orange apron and a permanent plumbers crack.  Yikes!  
We got our second knock on the door in a week from the fire department today.  They were once again warning us about a severe storm.  I think they have more severe storms out here then sunny days.  The fire department must get tired of knocking on doors every time it rains.  I have to say that I am kinda impressed that they do that.  Since we hardly watch TV or listen to the radio it is comforting to know that those reliable firemen keep us informed of the weather.  I'm also kinda partial to fireman since I grew up with one (HI DAD!).  
Well after we left the campground we drove to our second most visited store Best Buy.  Once again we left without our problems solved.  I'm really not sure if anything from Best Buy is actually the BEST BUY.  I'm kinda partial to Costco and Sams.  Since Best Buy couldn't conclude my computer needs we decided to drive back to the Mall of America and head back to the Apple Store.  After another long hour in the Apple store I think my computer problem is temporary solved...Yeah. 
We decided to stay in the mall parking lot until they kick us out.  We will let you know how long we last.
Thought of the day:  When I was about to land in Minneapolis the other day.  I looked down from the plane and noticed a train track next to a major road.  Sitting right next to the track and road was a group of houses.  I thought to myself, I would not be able to sleep with the noise from the trains and the cars all night long.  Then it hit me that I was flying right over top of the houses and was coming down for a landing just on the other side of the road.  So the houses probably could hardly hear the trains or cars due to the over whelming noise of the planes.  I guess what I am saying is if you ever think that your house is in a bad location...think again...unless you are deaf it couldn't get much worse then the houses by the trains, cars and planes.

By the way, the answer to the trivia question is Lola.  The kids named her after the navigation system in the movie RV.  But if I were to name her I would definitely name her  Mrs Were-lost-again!
