If you were to guess that I'm bored, you would be exactly correct!
So far we have had only ONE, yes one, very little hiccup that was mildly interesting but couldn't be considered a failure. That's it? That's the whole ball of wax? All this travel, setting up, and hours upon hours of testing for ONE tiny hiccup?
Send me home. Send me home right now.
That's how work stuff has been going. Hours and hours of pure boredom. I've played hundreds of games of solitaire on my cell phone. I may have even set a new record.
Saturday I did sneak off to Mall of America and made the requisite laps around the place. My purchases? A book, a new teaball, and a new tea to try. Somebody stop me! I'm spending like a drunken sailor!
The book is titled "A Dog's Purpose" and is a very good read. I couldn't put it down and finished it by Sunday-noon. Now I'm going to have to get the sequel "A Dog's Journey". Hopefully I'll make it last a little longer.
Sunday I drove about 80 miles south to Austin, Minnesota which is the home of Hormel that are the makers of world famous Spam! Sing it with me now in your best Monty Python voice, Spam, spam, spam!
I had visited the place when I was here before about six years ago and it was a real hoot. Unfortunately they moved it down the street from where it was and severely downsized it. What a bummer! Last time it took me two or three hours to get through it all and this time it was less than 20 minutes. Oh well, guess that will be the last time I'll be making that drive.
The upside is that I might be able to move my checkout date up by a few days and get out of here by Monday or Tuesday. For some reason this trip isn't as much fun as the last time I was here. Oh well, soldier on!
I've also spent a good bit of time perusing small used travel trailers and have found a couple prospects. If they don't get sold before I can get back to Florida, I'll go take a look. I'm looking in the 18-21 foot range which is a whole bunch smaller than the trailer we had before. Surprisingly they have all the same amenities just in a smaller package and that's ok by me. Smaller means lighter and much easier to maneuver.
