My New Hamster Rocket Now has a Tubular System inside his Cage.

Good morning, everyone. It is now 6 a.m. on January 24th. This month just flew by, which is great. We're in that cold, dark winter, so the faster it goes by, the better. In February, we're on a snow deficit here. We're well below our snow average, which is fine by me, but I think we're going to get walloped in february so i'm sure it'll catch up for it then the forecast is a lot of snow in february for us here but the cold weather has been really cold a lot colder than it used to be uh then it's been in january probably the norm that it should be is that we're at now so and then this morning yesterday i was working my little buddy rocket my little pocket rocket i call him morning yesterday i was working my little buddy rocket

my little pocket rocket i call him a little peanut pocket rocket my little hamster i made a little uh inner tube tubular setup for him uh yesterday uh later in the day i almost lost him again he fell out i mean but i got i caught him again he's so fast i get it i was trying to put a tubular system in there but i did and he when i woke up this morning he was on the top and cruising around in the tube so he's awesome fits in it perfect and i able it was able to get a good system in there that would just fit in the side use a couple brackets for the water bottles and it worked perfect so now he can go he can fly in and out of the tubes he likes the tubes I'm really happy about that.

I'd like my buddy to be in a cool little space. He's just really small. He's like the size of a peanut. He's really small. I don't think he's going to grow either, which is cool. All right, so let's see what's going on this morning here. Let's get to the news. Lots of things were going on yesterday, history-wise.

New things were getting signed and lawsuits and all kinds of stuff. I keep a middle ground on it. I don't say either way. Just whatever's going to happen, it's going to happen. It's out of our control. So it doesn't really... It's not bearing on me in person. So let's see.

I'm checking through the news. Checking for some... Let's see. I think that's really sticking out anything traumatic overnight so let's go on to let's see what's going on, let's see this morning let's see maybe get some orders in Etsy, that'd be exciting let's see oh, going on i see it this morning oh let's see maybe get some orders that'd be

exciting let's see oh looks like i got some orders awesome so etsy's starting to pay off now i was almost going to shut it down again but i was like no i gotta stick it out because they started out in the negative on etsy after reopening it but now I've sold a couple of things here and there oh a cartridge you know so a couple things I sold so that's cool so two small orders they're just little orders but everyone adds up i only usually make like two or three dollars per order after everything is said and done for shipping and all that but so one was a cartridge slot for the super nintendo. I sold lots of those. And one is a Sega Dreamcast power button board.

So one of each of those. That's pretty cool. I'll take it. I think maybe soon I'll be back in the net positive. I'm still finishing up the negative from last month when I first reopened it. We're close to almost even

now, I think. Oh, wait. feed in a second here somebody's my printer's not printing oh there it goes all right there we go all right i guess the other one didn't print out so let's look at rss feed here i gotta put the label again for some reason okay there it goes some reason. Okay. There it goes. So you can hear the actual printer as I'm printing out my orders for the morning. And I do everything as soon

as I get up. Let's look at RSS feed, especially replying to any overnight messages. Which usually can be. I never know what I'm gonna wake up to it's pretty it's pretty funny but alright so that's that one there and then we'll get this one printed out so those two will get out.

Today's Friday, right? Yeah, today's Friday, so we can get some orders out today. No more long weekends or anything like that for a little while. That I'm aware of. Because now there's really nothing to celebrate or anything to remember now for a while. Alright, so we'll get that one done too. now for a while. So RSS feed, let's see what we had overnight here. I had one download. So I've had 310 downloads

all time. It doesn't specify which download or where it was for that exact one that night, last night, but somewhere. It's always fun. Alright, so let's go on to YouTube. Let's see what we're doing over here on YouTube. Let's get back to...

I'm just going to collab my little buddies using these little tubes. This is so much fun. Alright, YouTube. let's see where we're at today i did some orders yesterday i also did uh xbox 360 disk drives going through those a little bit for for a podcast uh and learned something a couple new things I didn't know. So we're at. We're getting close to. We're at 13,847. 847 subscribers.

But of course. My revenue keeps going down. I'm at $34.53. Cool bro. Nice kiosk. Would you be interested in selling it? Yeah I would. I'd sell that.

Apple untested power supply. Thanks. Thank you. Definitely want to sell it. Definitely want to sell it. Definitely want to sell it. Definitely want to sell it.

However, see the eBay prices and in no way ever would this be shipped. No way would this ever be shipped. I would need...

I definitely want to sell it. However, see the eBay price. So this is a kiosk, my Nintendo Switch kiosk. In no way... No way... Ever. Switch kiosk. In no way. No way. Ever. No way.

Ever. I'm going to put ever in caps. Because I can't. Would. This. Be shit. Okay. Alright.

So. It's a kiosk. I got it from GameStop. It's really cool. It's kind of packed in my room right now because I really don't have any room for it. I'd love to sell it, but I'm not going to ship it. Definitely not. I'd have to put it on a pallet of some kind. It would be

the absolute complete nightmare ever. So, it would never. If it's a pallet of some kind it would be the absolute complete nightmare ever so it would never I'll never I'd have to put it if it's in my truck I got it in my truck I actually have videos from when I picked them up two of them I also have my PS3 kiosk it's got

all the Death Stranding which is my favorite game ever advertisement two side things in the top which are somewhere. And. So. That's pretty fun. So those are the two I got.

And I have the videos. I keep reposting them. If you want to check them out. I think it's one of the first videos. Actually I ever did. When I started doing videos. I think when I went to the kiosk. And I almost didn't even take it that day, but I did.

So those are my first videos ever. And that was, what did I say, it was 2021, I think, that video is. So it's been a while. GameStop is closed. Oh, my tubular. I put two shorts up for my little buddy in the tubular. One came out good with him actually in the tube, so that's cool. I wanted to show that.

All right, so the drum roll is on, and we are going to eBay. Hold your breath. Let's see what happens here. Let's see if we got a couple orders, some offers, messages, feedback. The buyer wants to cancel the order. So that's the first thing we got to do. So he ordered something and then he wants to cancel it. Oh, it's a little fan.

So I think a good thing about selling gaming parts is if something is offered or if someone buys something, it's only a small amount of money. There's a return, although I hate returns with passion. Because it's all a waste of all my effort to get it to you. And the shipping costs back and forth.

If it's just a little part then I don't really lose a lot. I just only have to refund a little bit. If it's something big and somebody wants a return then I'm like oh no, I kind of already spent the money. Now I've got to come up with this giant thing. So that's why I don't like to sell big things because it's a gamble.

If everything's good, we're good. But I've been lucky. I've been selling some bigger stuff. Exactly as described for the four-boner motherboards for the Coleco that I sold a guy in Massachusetts. So it was really cheap. I gave him all four for a little bit off. They all work far as I know. Fit perfect replacement for original.

Cover for my Wii game pad, the back cover. I sold all of those and 10 screws in the back cover. I have one back cover left that's missing a screw pin to it uh great quality uh definitely will order more parts so everything's been very positive which is the only way i like things however once in a while things go wrong i thought i was going to get a negative or neutral feedback from a lady seller but i have not seen it yet but you got seven days i think they hold you for neutral and negative to get people to

try to work something out although I have had people that were mad at something that they thought I did or I didn't do and they used a positive feedback as a negative feedback because it was such a rush to bash me and it was probably something that

I didn't do wrong. It says there's two offers here. So let's see the offer. All right, so I have one order. Feedback is cool. And again, I've been selling a few big things, which has been helping me out because the end of the month bills have been pretty high.

But I can usually keep pace and as always i am oh i saw something big that's cool yeah needed that uh let's see what i sold it's gonna be a big thing maybe it's one of the things i just listed for the um color classic yesterday i put some big stuff up for my Color Classic. So let's see what that is. It was the power supply. I put the motherboard both as defective donor. The motherboard had a blasted battery on it. The power supply was... untested.

I don't know. But I'm assuming the batteries that the I'm assuming that because the Witch McCall isn't working the motherboard is no good. Well, it's not no good, but it just needs to be fixed. That the power supply should be good.

Oh, I sold the Beazle, I sold the bezel. I sold the front panel for the Color Classic. Pretty cool. I'll take it. So that sold pretty quick. That's awesome. I'll get that out today.

I figured that would sell pretty fast. It's in good shape. So that's my first piece of the Color Classic sold off of that. So that's awesome. And I'm going to do a few more parts from it i have the trinitron monitor uh screen for it too the sony i want to get that listed but again i haven't tested so i don't know i just want to see if i have anything else of older apple that's the same kind of style uh oh wait so we're printing that out. It's going to say two pounds.

It'll say two pounds of that. And that's only going to New Hampshire, which is awesome. So that's cool. So if I can get my hard work... If I put all the hard work in listing something... I did a little short live video yesterday showing my listing listing procedure what i do because i have to add videos and do all that i do that with every listing now as i go forward

and i put it as a short on youtube as another way to try to advertise it because i don't make any money on youtube so therefore i try to use it as advertisement to mirror back to my ebay store with links and all that good stuff. And does it help? I'm not really sure, but it can't hurt. But I can't put YouTube links on eBay, which is a real pain in the buns. I would do that if I could.

Then I'd have two mirrors going back and forth each way. That'd be double the advertisement. Because, as we all know. eBay is my lifeline. And I basically live order by order. So. So we're going to list some more stuff. I've got to find that back cover. Oh I'm going to look for that back cover.

It's got to be somewhere downstairs. So I show up at the front. Beazle. There's a whole back cover that comes off. And I'm going to get that listed today. As soon as I figure out where it is So that's my orders pretty cool Help self the cause here again

Everything else looks pretty good. So today I'm going to I'm gonna go today I think I'll go for my afternoon System mom right now. we're doing discs so probably do ps3 so I'll keep in line with Xbox 360 but I'm running short now I may have some other discs I didn't do for some other offbeat systems I can look at do that check out the offbeat systems uh the rare runs like pcfx pc engine all those i go back to those and then maybe i'll go on to some computer stuff vintage computer but i try to keep it gaming um and then i have to decide what where to go after that because i'm going to run out of systems

i went through all the systems i don't want to go through them again i kind of want to learn how each motherboard works but zippy really can only give me so much information on the actual workings of like say a super nintendo motherboard i know the i got the basics of it from when i went through you know as a podcast just to know like what the chip was and and kind of how it's set up but the exact how it actually works from the minute the power goes in out to the end other to the other end when you're actually playing the game i started a series called elo elo i id'd as my electric electricity so elo in the uh green brick road which would be the tracers that go through the board and i the first one came out pretty good where elo would go into through the power

port and we'd find out we'd always know where elo's voltage is as it went in through into the motherboard i forget which one i did with eloO. I did ELO on something really early, like Intellivision or something, just to get an idea of what voltage it was. But what I really want to do is know, at some point, every single component that ELO goes through. Because, again, at the end of the day, all electronics is just a manipulation of electricity, which is ELO. So I want to see

what elo is as it goes through why there's so many of those things on the board just to make it do one thing and that's what i want to know to me that's the only way i could probably learn electronics is doing it that way and even further i would like to do in the future is make a sort of a visual walkthrough almost like a video game where elo is your character and i could load up say a nes motherboard and then elo would start and then i could go through and then as each as he goes through to each component i would you know get some ideas what's going on check everything out and then elo goes on the next one and then the main point of that is just so that i could learn if i know what elo is doing through every single component if

something goes wrong at the board then all i gotta do is id where elo is not working or where he stops basically his uh his tracks stop that if he stops that means the board's not working. So that's kind of something fun I want to do. The actual video game or program would be really difficult to do for me. But I do have AI to program stuff, so it is possible. Even if it's just something generic, I want to make it like real 3D vision,

like you're actually a character and walking through each component on the whole motherboard kind of like a candyland kind of like a that kind of thing i think that'd be really fun so but we'll just stick with simple i'm just going to stick with the gaming board so i'm not going to i'm not going to go into every single motherboard i just want to do all my main uh like nes super nintendo n64 and then you know like some ps1s and just stuff like that. Early stuff. Not going to get into the really technical, like Atari. Things that there's not a lot of components,

so Elo's Green Brick Road isn't forever. Although, that would be cool if I could get to do that. Get really into... But for now, if I'd like to really in television, Magnavox, those kind of things we'll just see what elo is so i'll probably gonna do some more of that i gotta find the one i did i

did one of them came out pretty cool uh and i learned a little bit from where the electricity was going uh its voltage change why it changed capacitors and you know i want to learn why each thing does what it does i'm still trying to understand how a CPU works. It's just a manipulation of electricity. It has gates that go on and off. Zeros and ones are on and off. Stuff like that. So that's trying to keep it.

It's trying to learn electronics. But keeping it gaming related is the key for me. All right. So you guys have a good afternoon we'll do some ps3 discs and stuff later on all right talk to you later bye
