Satellite TV

Camping World

Madison, WI

Geez, what a couple of crazy days!

Last night we slept in front of 

a service bay at the Camping World.

We had a 9 am appointment to get

our satellite dish from Winegard

and get hooked up to Direct TV.

We made sure that we were up 

and ready for them by 7 am.

(One of these days I'll really get to sleep in!)

We got all signed up,

was told it would be an 'all day' thing (really??)..

and for us to go away.

Well, not go away, but go somewhere 

and shop, or something, but 

don't bug them :-)

George and I took that cue,

and programmed Walmart

into our GPS.

What self-respecting RVr 

doesn't hit WM every day? 

We found it, only bought 1 thing!

But, wait..

there was a Kohl's right across 

the street!!

Now, that's MY store :-)

Since it was almost lunchtime at

that point, we punched in restaurants

in our GPS.

I've heard the name 'Culvers' 

bantered about by several bloggers,

so we just had to try it.

It lived up to its advertising.

Yum!

We came back after stuffing ourselves..

just in time to find out that

President Obama was

flying in to the Madison airport

which happened to be right next

to Camping World..

how convenient..

We just missed the highway being

shut down for the motorcade.

We saw the Blackhawks

circling..

and then here it came..

No matter your political leanings,

seeing that plane is a pretty

amazing sight!

Anyway..so our satellite dish..

Our 9 am appointment didn't get

started until about 3 pm.

(George thinks the employees

were too busy watching the Pres)

It finally all got activated by about 7 pm.

Amazing.

Oh well, we had planned on spending

two nights asphalt camping at

Camping World.

Tomorrow, thank GOD,

we will be in Welcome, MN,

at a real campground, for

3 days, relaxing,

and realizing we're retired!!
