Killing time from Virus

Thinking WHAT AM I GOING TO DO DURING SHUT IN OF SAID VIRUS??? Then I remembered all the coins locked in the safe from years ago. I've got rolls of different state quarters. Three Bank boxes of Dimes from the early 20's. Rolls of various nickle coins. Rolls of the Gold dollars. Rolls of Lincolns & various other coins from the same time period. Probably mint sets that I could open up for grading. Or should I break down and put that Supercharged Thunder bird motor in that 07 Ford Ranger? Think I'll flip a coin!!!

Time to put your thinking hat on.
You could always watch 'No Country for Old Men'--but after that, you might not want to do the flipping.

Maybe some online hat shopping? Just sayin

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Sounds like your gonna have some fun.
I vote for the engine swap, coins will always be there for when your too old to turn wrenches.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
How about 3-4 hours of each a day. I’ve been crushing a 65 VW bus interior this week and still do some coin projects after dinner when I’m lower energy.
There is a whole lot of truth in the above

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.What are the 'bank boxes of dimes from the early 20's' ?
Are you talking about a box of early merc dimes ?
It sounded like a sore thumb among the modern stuff you were talking about.....
I'd take all those modern rolls, put them in a strong fine-mesh nylon bag with a 40ft rope, make an anchor out of it and go fishing!
I never have to wonder about what to do.... each day is full of projects, chores, cooking, talking, dog walking, gun cleaning, coin looking, reading and watching sunrise and sunsets....Life is good....

Like RickO, I never have any problem keeping busy. If I did, my wife would find something for me to do to keep me busy.

should the title read : "virus killing time" , instead of 'killing time from virus" ?
I know what you mean, though.
Yes they are, and they look GOOD!!!!
They are going to make a Raptor version soon, so hold off for now!
Did you ever look at that bank box of dimes from the 20's ?
I have been working on a couple exhibits for the FUN shows which I might never get to show, if I’m a pessimist. Beyond that I’ve been updating and revising my British kings and queens history notebook, which is an ever changing project.
Yesterday I really got into all of nuances of some imperial Roman coins I have. I also have a history notebook for them. That is a much bigger, and for me, more difficult project because I find those 35 letter Roman names hard to remember.
I am also following a couple of on-line auctions. Even now my interest in an item means that the bidding goes crazy as soon as I touch it. Didn’t any of the rest of you get burned in the stock market the way I did? I guess not by the way you are bidding.
I have got things to do, but being housebound does get to be a drag. My “excellent adventures” are limited to a trip to the grocery store and the “Really Excellent Adventure” to the post office.
