Today I am doing a under the Sink DIY Faucet Filter System Replacement.

Good morning everyone. It is now 543. It's Friday, 314, 2025. So no Friday the 13th. Um, yesterday, what did we do yesterday? We did some fun stuff yesterday. I just had a blank now, I can't remember what I did yesterday. But today I know I'm doing a small DIY project, do it yourself. I started a little playlist called DIY for Me. I'm not really good at doing stuff, but I do them anyway.

And they never really come out right. But I'm replacing a sink nozzle. It's a filter system system just a small one. I was gonna get one of those reverse osmosis or something Those are more expensive. I just I'm just getting a newer one from the kind of system I already have just as a small filter so we'll put some videos I'll do some video of it later trying to get it replaced and then from there we have super fancom to look at I'm gonna test I finally got a cartridge I had a whole bunch of super fancom somewhere cartridges and I just lost it and I still have some motherboards I need to retest because I know some of them fully work. So I got a Zelda game in for

super fancom so we will We'll go over that and then yesterday. I also did something else. I just can't think what I did yesterday Well, we'll think about it. All right, so let's go. Let's see what's going on this morning Today I'm also gonna do well, so I have some parts coming in. Let's see what else going on this morning. Today I'm also gonna do... well, see what I have some parts coming in. Let's see what else is coming in today. I have a bunch of little upgrades for my Dell desktops. I have a Dell, two Dell desktops. One of my T-XPS T500 which is Pentium III slot one. I upgraded the CPU on that one I did order a compact

Pentium 4 desktop I didn't really want to do it but I decided to get it so that way I have two pretty good high-end video cords but it's not for my Pentium 3 so I needed a little upgrade up and and then that's it. After that I've got plenty of desktops and stuff. I'm not really interested in Windows 7 or anything after that. Mostly all the old stuff. The older the funner. So we're going to get to Pentium 4 so I can test my two video cards, and I'll obviously

keep one and sell the other one if possible. Alright, let's go check out Etsy this morning. Let's see what we got going on here. So I'm not on Etsy. Let's check to see if I had any... Oh, I sat on my dogs yesterday. That's what I did. I spent most of the day after me sit on my dogs because my mother again like I'm a caretaker and my mother has been she just turned 84 and it's been a long winter and she's been sleeping a lot every day but luckily yesterday she got out and about she still can drive and

all that good stuff so it was nice to see her get out so she was out for a few hours going to do her things Johnny cake Center and all that stuff so I get to sit with my dogs when she goes out I sit with my dogs and I took a little live video for about a half hour Just me sit with the dogs just for fun. So yeah, that's what I cut my day off a little bit after that I did something else earlier. I just can't think think of it So it's good to see her get out now the weather getting nicer It would be great to see my mother get out and about more.

She still drives, so she goes to all her places she likes to go. And then if she needs me to help her, I go along. Because we do food banks, well she does it, but I go along. I'm all signed up for them too, God forbid something happens to her. I will be going to food banks the exact same way. Because we are in westerly Rhode Island here, so we're on the border of Connecticut, so we can go to a neighborhood center

right in Polkottuck, Connecticut, as a food bank and the Johnny Cake Center. And between the two we can get lots of stuff. We've been living off of food banks forever. I've always, everything I've always remembered. There's just lots of stuff out there that needs to be given away. So I suggest if you need to find your local food bank I would go for it because there's lots of stuff out there. Even if it's just like free bread or free some vegetables or anything. There's just a lots and lots and lots of stuff

And it's never-ending because there's lots of foods as the grocery stores don't sell and then they have to Send it to the food banks and therefore There's always some more stuff So Etsy was quiet nothing going on there. Let's look at my RSS feed this morning my RSS feed this morning. Let's see. I can't think what the heck I did yesterday. I did something on my desktop. So, I'm having a senior moment. I can't remember what I did yesterday morning. I'll look at my YouTube and I'll know in a minute. And I'll be like, oh, that's what I did yesterday. Alright, so RSS feed let's check it out let's see what okay and the funnest part is just to see if I get any downloads I had one one

download very exciting but I don't know when it says one I don't know if it means one overall from all these different ones Lindale, Moscow Russia pretty cool Australia, Binz-Bain, Australia. Oh, I'm from Italy, welcome Italy. Milan, Italy. And Hattiesburg, it's the first time I haven't seen Ashburn in a while. Ashburn's usually always there, so 10 different cities.

I don't know if it's just one download for all of them, but again, it's always my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, so wherever it lands and people get to listen, that's wonderful. And like I always say, you can segue, I'm segueing into my YouTube page, but yeah, go check out my YouTube. Got plenty of videos, I'm always doing stuff.

Gaming, vintage computing, and other stuff too. Try to come up with some other creative ideas. And of course you can go to my eBay page, Etsy, check out some stuff, if you need any gaming stuff, parts that is. So I try not to promote any of that too much, but just a reference that's there, go check out. So with segue to YouTube we've been growing growing like a weed financially not growing but subscribers we've been growing good

we're at twenty four thousand seven hundred and twelve subscribers I've had six thousand four hundred and sixty3 subscribers in the last 28 days. Significantly more than I've ever had. However, as we said, I hate to say it all the time, but it's pretty depressing. So $23.66, so I went up about a dollar yesterday. My views are at 74.3k. Watch hours are 795.6 hours. So those will always go up or down. So let's see we had some comment here.

One comment. It says can't wait wait I'm on vacation next week oh great nice Those are always needed. So this is a guy who had contacted me, sent a comment about sobriety. I've been sober since 2011 and it basically saved me pretty much. But when the sobriety happens then you get a really clear head and then you kind of have to live with all the clearness. So it takes a while to adjust to that. So he was talking about trying to get sober. It's really hard to, and I made a comment

that it's hard to advocate for somebody else because each person is in their own little journey. For whoever got them to looking for sobriety is you know usually it was a long life or long hard life usually. So to get to get a sobriety from there is really really hard. So I wish everyone well to do it but it's just really hard. And sometimes you got to take some dramatic steps to get there really dramatic ones so he's he's going on vacation he but we just left a note message those are always good, good, always a good needed relaxation. And of course I'm not going to keep going on.

He mentioned the sobriety, I commented on it and then I just kind of leave it at that. I'm not gonna, I'm not one of those ones that's gonna preach any sort of because it's not my life I have no idea I'm not in it so each one is its own so I just say good luck with it and I mean I could sit and probably do a podcast or videos about sobriety and getting there and all that. I really don't. Everyone else does that. And I try to keep my things upbeat and positive.

So, so this is Grab report. Nice. Those are always a good needed relaxation for a reply. Keep it simple. So what was I doing yesterday? Let me remember now. Oh, Atari 2600s. Okay now we got it Big gap because I couldn't remember so we played around my Atari 2600

I pulled out to all the ones I had from downstairs Most of them if not all them tested Working I found some fun games kangaroo Atari kangaroo. I never played that and Anyone if you can find is an AI magic Atari game. Those are the ones that were really, guess you wouldn't say, cool graphics, compared to the really cheap ones like the CS Tele games ones, which were the really one.

And then there was one, Outlaws, oh my god, Outlaws is so silly, oh my god. That's probably the silliest one out there. It's just like a bunch of dots put together like a character and you shoot at each other. It has like a cactus in the middle but it's old Atari graphics on those and it's really bad. I was playing it for a little while. So I went through those. I have two 7800s.

I may have another 7800 around. One has a long extension. I gotta fix it. Um... And then I went through some other games that I have. Of course Defender. But I had some other fun games in that collection. So we wanted to test all those.

Oh, and that's right. And the last thing, the most important thing was my Oscar. Oscar trash can race, or trash race. I have the original kids controller. But the best part of it, I have the game. But I have the overlay for the controller. And that kids controller, I think, is just for all the different Sesame games.

But without the overlay, it makes it a lot harder to play. So it comes with the overlay. So I listed it. I tested that out. It's a really silly game. Graphics are okay for Atari. But you just seem to do the same thing over and over again. I don't really understand the concept of what I'm racing for.

So yeah that's my Atari 2600 testing yesterday. That was the big thing we did yesterday. Yesterday morning. And then after that, I sat with my dogs. Cause that was more important. After a while I just needed it. So today we're going to do an early morning DIY project. Gonna try to set it up.

I may even livestream it if I can. Can I try to mix it up? Now that the summer's getting here, or even spring rather, should say for now, I will be doing a lot more things outside videoing. Clean up, move stuff, and in the summer we do weed whacking. Usually I will shoot the shit and weed whack or something like that.

Talk about stuff while I'm weed whacking or mowing a lawn. I do my life in a double shave inside, but I like to do something else outside. Sort of. Same concept. Just talking about life in general. What's going on. While I'm doing something else. Instead of just sitting there talking to you straight out. It's no fun to just talk to you straight out. I'd rather fun to just talk to you straight out, rather than be doing something. I always have to be doing more than one thing at a time. I can't just do one thing. So, um.

Um. We'll uh, we'll just, lots of fun stuff. All right, so let's see, we're going to eBay. Do you know how many orders? Looks. I don't really have many orders, looks like I don't have many. I've been kind of declining a lot of things just because they've been really low. But I'm gonna get more stuff listed.

Let's see what we got going on here. $21.50 for which one is this one? Not labeled, but high def. Yeah, that's fine, I'll take that. Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I'm gonna ebay here, and I did a list of a couple things yesterday Jim I crack it keeps going up and down Let's see Just two small orders oh Xbox 360 s 1439 the fan heat sink and clamp I got those and then a Nintendo Gamecube

screws and drive board housing let's see if we have any feedback no still the same as described should promptly I'm still waiting some orders. Let's check on some order some things. I ordered Something got stuck. Hopefully it's gonna come through on me It's been stuck in Providence for a while. Oh, so my He shipped out my new my it's a compact EVO D500 CMT. It has a Pentium 4 2.4 gigahertz.

And you're like, wow, why are you on something like that old? Only because I have got two pretty high end video cards from back then. So I wanted to test them. And then again, try to sell one. And one of those would probably just pay off for what I bought this this desktop for and then I'll just have it for fun and of course for games because it's a little bit better than my other Dell my T

XPS T500 although I just upgraded that but that one is really expensive on eBay so I can easily flip that and Resale it with the with the upgrades So and I wanted a video card for it, which is coming in just a cheap one. I ordered a MSI MX 400 D Dash t 64 88 52 Nvidia g-force 2 that's gonna go in the T500. Pretty fun.

All right, so let's see where that one is. What's this? Oh, it's still in Colorado. I won't see that for a while. So that desktop's coming all the way from Colorado, which was probably really expensive to ship. And I got it at a decent price for the amount of, what kind of cost for that guy to ship that

I have a CPU coming AMD phenom 2x It's for my other Dell desktop. So I'm really into working on all these old Dell desktops. I have Just upgrading a little bit just cheap cheap upgrades 20 bucks bucks for a chip upgrade. That's a Dell and Speron 531S. So those are the ones, just those, that's it. So I bought a wireless clipper head

for my Life in a Double Shave. So my clipper was just wrecking my head, so I finally found one same style just cordless so I can do an easier time when I'm doing my head so these are all the things I'm waiting for me to come in I ordered a galaxy oh cool maybe I'll get that today a galaxy a 16 says it's new in the box. I have an a14 right now. So this is new in the box, but it said something about it not having a A carrier on it. So to me if it doesn't have a carrier should be unlocked

We'll see that may be in today. So we'll play around that. Oh then yesterday my GE single stage Water filter system came in for under the sink and that's what we're waiting for everything else else came in I think oh I went on a keyboard the PS slash to keyboard which is in Providence and what about my my other card? I'm waiting for a compact flash card. Ah crap, it's still stuck there.

Alright, so that's what we got going on. Everything else I got and upgraded already. So as things come in, we'll always look through them, open them up. And then we'll do some... And then we'll do some We'll do Oh, yeah, we're gonna do the DIY this morning after I print out my orders take care of my little buddies out there Get them all fresh and freshened up for the morning. I always do that as soon as I get up on my little buddies, because they depend on you

110%. So I always want to make sure. I've got one little hamster, my buddy Rocket, real fast. It's a funny video of me trying to catch my Rocket when he got out of the cage when I first got him. Pretty fun. And I got my bird. I really don't have a name for me just called bird he's really cool and for a couple of few years now and then I have

my little guinea pig spot to call him I had two but one passed my buddy Brownie passed away on me these guys have very short life, the hamsters do, they're only maybe a year or two on the hamsters. Guinea pigs, both of my guys lasted for almost four years. My buddy Spot's still going strong, so maybe we can have another year out of him. My bird, I don't know how long those last, but I had two when I first got them. One didn't last that long, and they were a dollar each because they had overpopulation So I got them for buck so my my my one dollar bird that's still hanging in there It's been around for three or four years now, so it's a little

Finch I think they call I Like to have small little animals. It gives you something. It gives you that sense of caretaking which is really important, so This is how I ended up getting that, is through those guys. So we'll go out and clean them up. And then we will start my DIY project in just a little while. All right, so you guys have a good afternoon

and I will talk to you later. All right, bye.
