I have got to get an inventory done.

[Aragorn243]

So I've been searching for a USMC upper haversack for about a month now. Picked up a British version a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to get that fitted out since. Got a nice sten magazine pouch Saturday and thinking I have another one somewhere in the house. Spent some time Sunday trying to find it with no luck. Opened a box that was sitting on top of the spare bed about an hour ago and found the pouch. Unfortunately, it's Swedish But underneath is a curious looking haversack and I pull it out and it's a blasted USMC upper haversack dated 1945. No idea I had it and have been watching these things go on eBay for $150 plus all this time. I've decided to get the gear set ups for the various nations, so this is a start. It's not a 1941 which I had been looking for but a 1944 which is an improved version. Either works for me. Now to find a lower and a shelter half. Could use a green one I guess but the camo ones look pretty sharp.

I know the feeling:

„It‘s all there - the trick is to find it!“

Boy don’t I know it.

It is kinda fun to open up a box and go, “oh neat!”

Like finding something cool at a yard sale except for free and in your own house haha.

It is really neat finding this stuff, then relief I don't need to keep looking for it, then worry as I begin thinking my mind is going. At least I'm not the only one.

I'm slowly thinning out some of that as I don't use any of it any more. I have lots...

It feels good ,now I know I'm not the only one. Have a tight inventory on the sterilized stuff. The rest. Not so much. Kind of fun finding something you have been looking for. Even better when you forgot you had it.

Dont feel so bad was doing some small inventory an found I had 7 of the same pistol. Had to make the decision on which ones to keep. Seams like every time I got one in I like it.

I just get the feeling that deceased family members are moving stuff about the house when I'm asleep or out.

I look at what I have in the house, I know what I've stored in the shed then just shrink away from trying to get it all onto a spread sheet so when I perch it my wife won't be taken to the cleaners.
I have no excuses! In fact I did start on the books and weapons but the data became corrupted in the spreadsheets when my old comp crashed.

Thanks for my new excuse.
