I searched through a couple thousand listings on eBay trying to Cherrypick anything that had a good photo...and good photos were few and far between. It's been a long time since I surfed through eBay! No, I did not find anything.

I took a nap on the beach late this morning too!

Go over to Precious Metals and read my "Must Read" on QE, money printing, and hyperinflation.

It's NOT what you think.

I sold some junk silver, packed my bags for a vacation out west, and read up on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Fooled by Randomness.

OldEastside · May 25, 2013 6:37AM

Well, I pulled out my two 44 specials and put on my poncho and sombrero and looked over
some Silver Dollars I have <<<<<<(coin related)

then went outside and yelled yehah yehah
and shot the 44's into the air (where the trajectory would land in a safe area) then got aressted
and was brought before a Judge (kinda wierd being Saturday) where the Judge asked "what do
I have to say for yourself" and I said that "the CU site was down for mainanance" and the Judge
said "Case Dismissed"

Well maybe not exactly

Looked over my newps that were delivered this morning -
plus my photos arrived - I flipped thru the latest Numismatist.

Double checked the closing prices of coins I was tracking on eBay;
a friend was hot for a coin I really liked - but he had 1st dibs on it.

So, Stealer, did you win that 1912 Half - ex: Queller ?

Overdate · May 25, 2013 6:56AM

Made a round trip to Mars to retrieve the 1909 VDB cent from the Rover!

I replaced it with a plain 1909 cent, as you can see by examining the reverse. Oh, wait . . .

Went across the street and over to cointalk looked around. But i'm back home now.

Coinosaurus · May 25, 2013 8:21AM

It was awful. I went ATS and there was nothing going on there. I expected to at least find some wailing about how this forum was down for maintenance.

WhiteTornado · May 25, 2013 8:21AM

Ordered a new microwave oven, did all the yard work, went running a few miles with my chocolate Lab, and played soccer with my son.

Did we ever determine exactly what "maintenance" was done to this site? EDIT: never mind, I just read DW's post.

silverpop · May 25, 2013 8:23AM

went on another coin forum

mrpaseo · May 25, 2013 8:33AM

Surfed Netflix and watched two movies... there's three hours I will never get back

Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop chop chop.
If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off.
And if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out.
But all the same I play this game, 'cause that's what it's all about.
Oh, CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP

Hit refresh about 500 times as I've been trying to research potential values of a coin I got my grade on yesterday.

BryceM · May 25, 2013 9:57AM

Went shopping to support my other hobby....... bullets, brass, powder, primers....... then went and used a few of 'em. Best group was 1.4" at 250 yards, but it was a little windy.

TwoSides2aCoin · May 25, 2013 11:01AM

Watched a documentary on YouTube. Then I fell asleep. Woke up this morning and had breakfast, opened the shop, bought 20.25 ounces of silver at spot price x .95.
Shortly thereafter, sold a 1975, and 2011 Uncirculated mint set at grey sheet "bid" to another dealer.
A friend stopped by so we went to the casino, where I wasted an hour or two, but found the place where the monthly shows are now held. After leaving there and the Hotel next door (that's where the monthly coin shows moved to), we headed to a place called Mo Fish on the other side of Council Bluffs, off of Interstate 29 North, where I ordered carp and walleye. On the way home saw a venue set up where the Beach Boys are playing in concert. There were thousands of people already gathered.
Got back home and ate the fish which was "take-out", then ended an auction on eBay because there was an item "not as described". Did yesterday's dishes, mopped a floor and took trash out. Made a pot of coffee and logged in here to see what I missed.
Oh I called my daughters to see how they were doing, too. I need to do laundry. Would prefer to hire out some things. Got milk ?

agentjim007 · May 25, 2013 11:04AM

When did they go down?

dlmtorts · May 25, 2013 11:20AM

This is sad, just sad. But I, like others, kept hitting refresh.

halfhunter · May 25, 2013 12:14PM

Made reservations in Jacksonville FL for next Friday nite to go to the coin show there. Then made reservations for Saturday nite in Brunswick, GA to go out on the Gambling cruise there.

Thought that maybe, just maybe they would fix the "preview" function while down . . . Guess not ! ! !

I haven't touched a keyboard from Friday until yesterday.

thisnamztaken · May 29, 2013 8:35AM

Guess I was too busy reading through the 1000's of Flickr members' complaints about their recent multitude of terrible changes to that site, to notice!
