I got it 2 days ago and it promptly puked up everything out upon my kitchen table.
I rooted thru the various bits and bobs and came up with the following
where upon I ruminated and obfuscated upon said items and changed my mind numerous times and always came beck to these items. reaching into my local and my imported crap, I was able to shove even more craptastic crap back into the old box and got it shipped out today.

The Box has landed!
I am sorting through my first glance choices, and seeing what additional "crap" I can fit in the box. I will get it to the PO Monday, if I have the next address.

They are handy, and avoid problems caused by normal kickstands...

Sorry for the delay Skip et al. The dang box exploded, 
(actually the seam just split halfway through the re-taping process) I tried to put in a bit too much. It never occurred to me what good packers y'all are.
I had visions of putting lots of stuff in, but there's not much room, silly noob that I am.
I re-arranged, repacked and re-sheathed the box.... then "Doh!" I ran out of tape, reinforcing the new one box. It idefinitely still bursting at the seams. I can't imagine what it was like before the metal liner!
Box will ship tomorrow, having been reinforced yet again. I will bring it to my small town PO, so they should accept it, even though the flaps don't meet in the middle.I have a picture of my haul, but it's on my phone, I will post it later.
Best regards, Eric

Box landed today. I took a couple things, added a couple things. Here's my haul and the teaser pic of the box. As you can see, I'm going to have to work a bit harder to squeeze everything in... (Is anyone else disappointed that the photo attachment stuff no longer seems to work properly? Thumbnails are much larger - not really thumbnails anymore - but are no longer mouse sensitive, so you can't view the full resolution image.)
I'll try to get it out tomorrow or Monday.

@smontanaro -- Don't forget the rules allow (encourage?) the removal of exceptionally useless or beat-up crap when space requires.

I haven't given up yet.Edit: Okay, I managed to get its corpulent self packed and taped up. Awaiting @carbomb's address.
Here are three updated photos, sneak peak, stuff destined for the bike co-op, and stuff I took.

It also seems that non-premium members can post photos directly. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I know I can link to images on external photo sharing sites, but they all try to make it challenging (or at least tedious) to get the URL of a raw image (where's the ad revenue in that? I suppose). Also, uploading images means they will be available for future BF thread archaeologists, whereas, if I kick the bucket or otherwise disable/delete/tweak my Flickr/Google Photos/Ipernity/Photo Bucket site those images will kick the bucket as well.

OH, CRAP! That's what the dang thing was...
No longer being a beer drinker, I couldn't make heads or tails of it, and I wanted the room to put other stuff in.
But all is not lost, I'm looking at it as I type. I will send it up the list abit so it can get re-united with the BoC.
Sorry Dave! Glad I saw your post.

1)That must be the reason i only go on rides under 80k... 
2)Probably how coffee was discovered, by someone who stopped drinking beer...
I am working myself back up to longer rides. Enjoying rides over 50k is a big improvement from suffering on a slow 10k.
Goal for next year is to ride 100k regularly.

No worries! Last time i put a bottle opener in, it was more obvious. I should have labeled it. And never fear, no functional crank arm was harmed in the making of this device.
