Morning, everyone. It is now 5.52 a.m. Today is January the 23rd, 2026. On one Friday, it's only on the weekend now. These weeks, this January is flew by it. We have a big storm coming, though. Everybody does. It sounds like the storm is the whole United States pretty much. So we'll say we end up when it gets to us by Sunday night. But everything's going to be starting to happen across the country. So we'll see. So yesterday we did a lot of fun things. We had that really cool thing that came in.

It's a Radio Shack Model 2. It's a business machine. I learned a lot about that yesterday. It was really cool. Model 2, TRS 80, 26-4-002. I got it to work. Not at the end of the video, but it was, so that machine has this giant 8-inch floppy drive.

It's that's the weight of it. It's massive. But it doesn't have a motherboard. The cards in the back are the motherboard. There's four cards. One's an extra video card. One's a RAM. One's the floppies for the outside.

And the last one is the CPU and the floppy, 8-inch floppy connection. It's pretty wild. Boy, I learned a lot about that yesterday. Just kind of moved cards around a little bit and then I'll have to work. so I'm just waiting

I had to order some 8 inch floppy disks TRS DOS 2 and and some other and I found somebody else had a whole bunch of them originals so it'll be pretty cool

taking up giant space that I don't really have for it don't know where I'm going to put it and do with it but I got it to work so I was really pumped about that and then we spent another video for a long time doing something else like man I'm like lately I just can't seem to remember things oh but we

doing something fun today I'm going to pick up a small load of gaming systems so I'm excited about that I want to get out today get out of the house for a while go for a ride it's a couple of towns away and pick up some stuff at this fairly special place and funny thing is I just found out that thing where I just got yesterday was from there I could wait and then picked it up save the shipping cost but I got a box out of it that was the best part the box they had it in was really heavy-duty padding because I think that unit was hugely heavy. So I put my 3D printer that I never used in that box.

So I've got to use for that box. So pretty well, everything just worked out. So now if I have a cell that 3D printer, it's ready to go. And it'll be nice and safe in that box. All right. So let's get busy here. Let me think what we're doing. Oh, we're doing another overnight.

This time I let it run the whole 12 hours. It's pretty cool. We'll probably do that each night now. And then we're going to add some effects to it down the road. I just haven't got to that point. I haven't got them to work yet. So let's check out my business. We've got some good football games this weekend.

So that's cool. Let's see. Finally sent me some photos coming storm. If I let me send me photos of this, this part is extremely bad. Oh yeah. Yep, found that. And I was able to find their place by eBay. the other you sell okay okay okay was my list my eBay store I shipped it yesterday

yesterday so it's the lens assembly the Nintendo GameCube the lens assembly bottom part of it gets all rusted I sent them replacement that should be cool nice and shiny let's see what's going on in the news lots of silly stuff in the news some of us cost many things

doom and gloom all this creepball two is more the simplest sequel it's going out on March maybe it's up there I'm interested it's all about death draining death draining too all right so let's go to get so we went to

Etsy let's go to Parchmark on schedule here this morning look up a little bit late slept in I'll have to change my sleeping habit because I have to wear a little face mask while I'm doing my overnight thing

had a few views it's 12 hours of untapped potential but we changed it up so we'll do some other stuff there there, my other user all right so we have 1,310 followers

on Parshmark just keeps growing so that's cool so social media said I gotta clean this up I gotta take some listings now and we have no orders which is everything's the norm there RSS feed we had a few downloads yesterday let's see what we're at this morning here let's check it out again we don't really get going yesterday I had a long podcast because when I got

to eBay everything changed I got to find out what's going on with this guy and I'm done I need to some little damage control just some mistake I made that I just didn't see it's a really silly mistake but because it was it was my my n64 and I never went back to, you know it worked, everything worked good, but I forgot to check the type of cover. So I had two downloads yesterday, 67, 67, the last 30 days. 2,241, two episodes, we said, it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. That's where we end up today. Singapore is just in there with me, which is really awesome.

Always appreciate to see Singapore. And then Minneapolis, it's got four downloads. Great to see them again. Buffalo, been here for a little bit, a couple downloads, Colorado Springs, that's a new one, so that's pretty awesome. And then Israel, Tel Aviv had a download at least. It only shows me in the last seven days,

so I don't know exactly the exact downloads I had yesterday. But I can see the map. The dots usually stay even if they hadn't downloaded the last day because it's still on the seven day. The dots will show up for the seven day. All right, so it's kind of cruise. Let's see, I'm monetize. I'm going to keep you updated on the big bucks made here.

Still at 45 cents. I'm waiting for that available balance. From 45 cents to go to, no, right now it's estimated balance. It'll change the available balance. Last time I did that, returned to 15 cents. And 15 cents is my only income made here. So let's go to YouTube. I'm really trying to not promote anymore.

So everything is the numbers just crashing. Lots of crashing numbers going down here. 100,000, 3,032. 1.5 million views, 11.3K, 20.5 estimated revenue, $20.57. That'll never change. As much as I try to think I can get it and do something different, it's just really not. So that's why I started doing my overnight, just because I'm so frustrated that I can't make any money.

So now I'm just going to, I'm just going to run my overall. run my live stream all the time so I had 303 of use last night 10 thumbs up on my overnight so it's a real close-up to my face last time I did it I made a mistake I so showed nudity and I got a by accident and I showed and I got a strike against my account but that's been gone so now we're back to the overnight stream which is calling it night site it's fine and we'll just run it and I'm gonna add some visuals up close but I just haven't got to it I got the thing that I want to use for it, but I haven't figured how to set it up yet.

We'll see. So we'll just keep running that too. I go to sleep anyway, so I might as a video way. And we got to put a few thumbs up, so it's pretty cool. All right, let's get to the business. Not yet. Let's change. I turn that into night's site.

So I had 12 hours, over 12 hours last night. I set up my cam, my phone without a charge and a charger so that I, could keep it running all night night sights I'm just gonna call it night sights now you usually have a slippy mask on it some kind different ones that I have I look around for some more we're on each night a lot less going on I had before I had projectors and all kinds of things going on but now it's just simple more close up and use one of those mechanical arms I got I had gotten forward on it fits perfect in that spot to hold the camera exactly where

my face is there pretty funny now you just gotta be silly again like I said I'm doing all this for free so why not just live it up even more so night sites and that was last night so I'm just resetting up the live stream from the night before I've put some

info in there I just turned another one I used to set it all up before I went in for the night for the night but now i just turn it on once i get all cut into bed right i had the camera so it's facing front it's a lot closer up so we did have a kick out in the middle of night and i saw it now i can see it it kicks out and then i turned it back on again and we're pushed on to the middle of the night i turned it back on again all right so let's go ebay i got a all right so let me leave it in the action here let's see quick and resolve this

problem I have one order that's cool feedback too all right so motors and gear for the n6 I mean for the Nintendo game cube feedback great seller of Sega game game game of battery compartment very nice eBay eBay with fast transactions three random sports games artwork manual that was for Sega Genesis a great little trimmer on a great eBay seller oh that's the council doctors check out his YouTube channel of the same name so he moved that phone that's pretty cool I appreciate that pretty awesome all right so let's get to business at hand what we got to do there and what's got to tell what we want to so I'll swap both outback or want to send it back to you great great that has

see the video see so I had to swap out something else that I didn't really make mistake it's a Nintendo Wii U motherboard set the problem is it for some reason when I sent him the dryboard is different than all my others I don't know why. So he couldn't put it in his drive correctly. So I had to send him. So yes, that's where I did. That was the other video. The long video you did yesterday. End of the day was Nintendo Wii U for him. That's right. And I pulled it and I shipped yesterday. See the long video. This one has Mario.

We got something in a different language. We would have the main board of a Sega series. Trans also actually translated you would have the name more of the Sega CD model one Sega CD model no sorry no is so the model one's double one other parts or double stack I call it a double stack front loader there are no parts for the front no parts for the double double stack front loader so it was are super crazy to get he wants so that's technically the model one refund issued I did that hit refund you sent your payments hey um what we got going on here is there

something more wrong with boards than their recap many times many times these boards can never be fixed as said by many buyers in the past never assume caps replacement fixes all I have no idea what each issue is or issue is or If I can. Many times these boards, these boards, even the minus two, can never be fixed. I said by many bodies in the past. I didn't see the guy reply in regards to another message. Hey, it says read all, but there's nothing to read what function is.

Okay, I need to change changing, changing listings to seal. This is a, but direct contact, direct contact is best option. So this is a Xbox 360, it's a fan mod. Trytile is the best. It's the best. These are fan mods cables. It bypasses 5 volts into 12 volts, then makes your fan faster, but louder, with more. But direct contact is always the best.

These are fan mod cables. bypasses, five volt taps into 12 volt and makes the fan run faster, much, run much faster, but louder with more air circulation. It's my fan, fan mod cables. So even though it says, read all, you can just ask me, you know, keep you load down what those are. You just have been one order, of course, the sales have been pretty slowly, really. but still sticking more where i may change some stuff around eventually i'll do some more

i think i'm doing some auctions too down the road as well some more seeing my bigger items that i've been just sitting around i'll throw up for an auction and get what i can get and make sure i have a lot of shipping costs but we'll see we'll just keep mixing up oh yeah so today we're going to go hopefully get some stuff today It's pretty awesome. All right, so I don't know the guy never contacted me again. So I've asked him to resolve it, and maybe he just fixed the top cover of.

In a couple days, they'll let me know. Let's see, we've got in cash. Do some sales here, a little bit. More sales. We'll probably do that this weekend. I get some stuff coming in, too. So we'll get that and see what we can muster up for some more stuff. I really don't want to invest offers back on.

I really don't. But I might have to, we'll say. Take a break from me. anyway for now all right everyone so you have a good Friday last day of the work week and everybody you're reading that I'm listening to this is going to get that big blizzard from Texas all the way to us up here and all the way to Maine so it might be up my first blizzard I'm going to play around with my snowblower today for it gets too cold and see if I get the start up get it out front we'll do
