Sunday began with the distinctive chirping of one of the smoke alarms telling me that the batteries were dead. Joy. After locating the offending device, I switched out the batteries. Still not working. Popped out the new batteries. Well, hell, that looks like corrosion on one of the contacts. Check the old batteries. Yep, one burst and managed to take out the alarm. Fortunately Amazon has same day delivery for a replacement.

The Wife and I then got ready for a trip to Apopka. On Friday, I won an auction on Gunbroker and the store handling the auction was in Apopka. Rather than have them ship the pistol over to their store nearby, The Wife and I decided it would be a fun little jaunt to just travel the two hours. It would give her time to crochet while the both of us listened to our audiobook.

We got to the store and found out that their Gunbroker auctions group didn’t work weekends. In other words, Derek jumped the gun instead of waiting for the email/call that my gun was ready for pickup. But it should be done in a day or two. Um, yeah, I’m not going to be able to make that trip anytime soon. I asked if they would please let their Gunbroker folks know to ship it over to the local store. They would have them call me.

As we were leaving, The Wife looked at her phone and asked if we wanted to go hit Disney Springs. After all, I wanted to pick up another lightsaber. We have plans for mounting them in the space between our offices. Except there was one small problem. I wasn’t planning on going to Disney, and I had a variety of devices that Disney frowns on bringing into their various attractions. Well, we were at a gun store. We found one that I liked and got it set up in the Ward Wagon. One of those times I was glad that I had TSA’d my sling bag.

Let’s just say if we knew we were going to make the trek to Disney Springs we would have made different wardrobe changes. But we hiked from the parking garage to the Star Wars store. There was momentary panic because they moved the lightsaber case. I had a hard time deciding between Luke’s green saber from Return of the Jedi and the Darksaber. The clerk informed us that if we ordered the Darksaber from the online Disney store, it was cheaper. That much was true. It was also sold out with no timeline for restock. The Wife looked at the budget and saw there was some play. Both of them ended up coming home with us. Now, I have to figure out how to mount the Darksaber, because it won’t use the ones I bought for my lightsabers.

It was not the day we planned, but it was a good day nonetheless.
