In a fit of typical behavior the pittance of sparklers, tanks, and blackcats did not appease the Peake so Bruce and him went off to get more. Thirty-five minutes later they show up with a $150 worth of stuff. All was going (more or less) well until the final two artillery shells. One made it about seven feet out of the tube and exploded. Verifying everyone was okay (and not burning from the explosion) the second one made it about a foot or two out of the tube and exploded. Once again narrowly missing everyone - even the kiddo.

*sigh*
