Picked up one box each of nickels and pennies and would have gotten more from a different branch but they tried to charge a fee so I said skip it.

The box of nickels produced the following:
1 Buffalo Nickel (1918) <-- was overdue for one for the last few boxes (the clearest digit in the date is the 8 and by comparison to 1928 and 1918 I could tell it was 1918.)
31 pre-1960 Jeffersons (1939, 1940(2), 1941-S (Small S), 1946, 1947(2), 1948-D, 1949(2), 1952, 1954, 1954-D, 1954-S, 1955-D(2), 1956-D(3), 1957(2), 1957-D(4), 1958-D(3), 1959-D(3))
2 Canadian (1985(2))

The box of pennies produced the following:
1 - 1970-S Small Date <--only 48 more to complete my roll
6 wheat pennies (1945-D, 1951-D, 1955, 1957-D(2), 1958-D)
13 Canadian (1954, 1956, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1994, 1998)

Also I went out drinking with a friend last night. At around 1:30 AM we contacted another friend of ours who runs of one of the new downtown clubs and he said to swing by. So around 1:45 when everyone else was starting to leave, we show up. The bouncers weren't going to let us in at first, but after a short discussion about us being friends with the manager he let us in (shortly thereafter our friend let the bouncers know to expect us). We ended up hanging out with the staff for the next hours drinking whatever we wanted for free. This was fun and all, but the point of this story for this forum is while we hanging out there, I spotted a single penny on the floor and wouldn't you know it, it was a 1947-D wheat penny. Ended up getting back to my friend's house around 6:30 AM.

After a night of drinking, did you fall over when you bent down to pick up the wheatie?

Decided I was too tired to drive home around 7:30, so I crashed at his house for a few hours. Though I didn't sleep very well as he doesn't normally turn on the heat upstairs so the temp was only around 50-55 degrees and the one blanket I had wasn't all that warm. Woke up around 10:30 due to my cell phone getting a text message. Ended up leaving his house around 11:30.

Only got slightly less sleep then I get most nights during the week, but the quality of the sleep wasn't as good.

Uhhh... no. Though this afternoon as I was counting how many drinks I did have last night, I realized that I had had quite a bit, just over a "relatively" long time period. Between 8 PM and about 5 AM I had around 12 drinks (counting the large mugs of beer as 2 drinks) and one shot. Considering how infrequently I drink anymore, I never really felt drunk. Maybe it was the full stomach from the large dinner. Either way, let's just say it was a fun night.
