Things I found:
- My old Royal Robbins "shoot me" vest. I have no idea why it was in there.
- The Surefire Z2 I kept in the door pocket. Boy, how spoiled we've become in flashlights! I remember when this thing was eye-searing magic, but after using a P2ZX Fury
, 62 incandescent lumens looks about half as bright as a dead firefly.
- A rock from Blogorado a couple years back. I put it in with the Hoosier rocks in the herbaceous border with the fervent hope that it baffles the **** out of some future alien geologist who concocts a wacky theory to explain its presence.

I thought I was missing a rock!!
First world problems: you own so many guns you can't remember if there are any in a car you haven't driven in a few months. It's great to be an American in the 21st century.!
If you can remember where the rock in your car came from, you are cleaning your car out way too often.
"My theory is that the ancient Usaians transported rocks from other parts of their so-called 'nation' in a quaint religious ceremony."
When cleaning out my truck I used to send my Schnauzer in first. She would root through everything and eat all the food scraps and crumbs. The squirrel used to do it but he left when I hit the deer.

Heh. "They'll think there was a river here."

Heck, I lost two guns in my regular driver. Just found one after nearly a year of looking. The other only took a couple months of looking.
I found a couple hundred rds of '06 ammo in my work vehicle. It used to be my regular driver. I'd forgotten about the ammo.
Yeah, for some reason my original M3X doesn't seem that bright, anymore. I missed the window to update the bulb to a battery-sipping LED. My newer taclights all *seem* brighter, but I don't have a lumen comparison chart built. Yet.
"Yew still got that 500 lumen light?"
"Yep!"
"Yanno, ya cain't see nuthin' iffen it ain't 2300 lumens."
I bought some roman coins in the 70s. They were heavy base metal and pretty cheap. After carrying them around in my seabag for six years or so, I finally dug a hole at on a beach near my last duty station at Bangor, WA and deposited them. It was a muddy beach so I'm hoping it confuses the hell out of some beachcomber/ archeology student in a hundred years.
Recently bought a 730 lumen light so I kind of understand about the older ones. I have begun to refer to it as armor piercing.
"...fervent hope that it baffles the **** out of some future alien geologist..."
It's good to have affirmation, once in a while, that I'm not the only one who actually thinks this way. Thanks!
