I also took out a couple of items for weight purge. If anyone is desperate for three very crude Bottom bracket axles that seem to weigh about 2 pounds each, I can send them along. If not they are getting donated to the local bike Co-op. I picked them up and actually swore when I felt how heavy they were. I also tossed a completely used, dirty and shot chain. I added quite a few goodies and some park tools. I still have two pairs of cheap platform pedals that I couldn't fit.

Mike: going to have to throw me a bone - and work with someone down the list to see where you can slot in. Welcome to jump in here, considering your visitation situation, but as I've got a day-job it would be cool if you'd take care of the wheeling-and-dealing, then let me know what kind of agreement has been reached. I'll plug you into the list once that's taken care of, okay?
Nice picks, cbchess - thanks for the pics and the update on the Box!

Nope, it didn't cbchess 
Yeah, felt that heavy too. I'll be transfering the contents to a new box when I get back from my errands this afternoon.
I put in some pretty cool stuff too. I'm sure they won't last long either.

Unfortunately that kickstand is to short for my bike (I just tried to put it on). So it's going back in. Instead going to get the red bar tape and put that onto my barends.

I sometimes wish my post office was that close! the closest one is about 1.5 miles away. But, it's all good, I ride for my transportation anyways.
