odds and ends

So I'm sitting here starting to go through all of my stuff to see what I want to keep and what I want to toss out before I move to Dallas in a few weeks. I have this nasty habit of keeping stuff for some reason, thinking "hey I might need that someday". Well, guess what? I never did.
Some of the following items were found in various backpacks, junk drawers and boxes...so far:

1. A flashlight (albeit a cool one) that I was given about 10 years ago...it hasn't worked for about 6 years. I had it when I did all my stints in Bosnia and I was kind of sentimental about it, maybe I was hoping it would magically come back to life in a flash of smoke
2. A knife with the blade broken in half. I have no idea.
3. A box of birthday candles, unopened. If you have one coming up, I'll let these go cheap!
   
4. About 10 M-16 ammo mags.
5. A spool of purple thread. I don't think I even want to know. I hope I can chalk this one up to an ex-girlfriend somewhere.
   
6. A bunch of markers that don't work.
7. A deck of cards with "Good Work" written on them. And half of them are missing.
8. A couple of tshirts I don't remember wearing in the last 5 years. Goodwill here I come.
9. More dead batteries than I can count
10. A picture of me playing bass while drunk off my a$$ in Korea...I'll keep it so I can laugh at myself occasionally.
11. A patch off a Serbian Army uniform. I could tell you how I got it, but I would have to then kill you.
12. A metal plate with Cyrillic writing on it that I pried out of a Russian anti-aircraft gun.

Some of this stuff I'll keep, as it's kinda cool and will remind me of all the places I've seen and been.

But what I was really REALLY looking for was The Oz's Secret Book of "How To Shop On Less Than $12 a Day", he said he had misplaced it somewhere and asked me if I could take a peek around for it. Sorry buddy.
