Episode Date: May 12, 2025

Very Successful Outside Project Weekend.

Good morning everyone. It is now 527 Today's a new work week Monday is 5 May the 12th 2025 so yesterday. We were supposed to go to breakfast with my brother for my mother's day But he ended up having something to do early, so he came over later We just got some McDonald's Breakfast for my mother when she got up.

She slept in late for her mother's day and then my brother was over the house with us for a few hours, two or three hours. And of course while he's here I'm just doing my own thing so I was working. I moved some stuff around. I set up my mother's outdoor little area that she uses. I made a nice little area for Mother's Day. So I worked on that, got that all set up for her in the backyard under one of the carports. Moved around a lot to racks. I've got one more mass pile of stuff left over from gaming systems that's got to go

into the gazebo. So, I'm working on my third bottom room now. So, and then I got all my orders. I had some orders over the weekend, so I got most of those done. So while my mother was with my brother for a while, I was able to get some of my other stuff done. Plus I was in here and there interacting a little bit. But mostly I just kinda do my own thing. I had so much stuff I had to get done out in the back. So it was a good mother's day for my mother I think.

She got to see my brother shit which she really hasn't seen him that much in a while. So it was good for him to come and hang out for a few hours at the house here. So you know it doesn't easily that far away. You just live down the street. Not down the street but within a half mile All right, so and I didn't do any videos Yesterday so it's two days in a row now no videos. I just been busy. I got to get outside now It's time to be outside. I will start doing some more videos again, but and again

I'm gonna set up my outsource studio, which I'm cleaning up now. I did I won't long yesterday, too So that was done. So it looks better a little bit better back there and I've got an area for my outdoor studio Just a little thing. I'll just set it up Gonna get some power and some power over there. I don't think I might not have as Wi-Fi But it'll just be the test stuff or look at stuff or something like that basically what I do in here but out there we'll see we'll see how it all goes let's check the news upcoming video games this are you video game I was had a little time at the end of the day yesterday and I was looking through video games like anything survival horror as most people

do so a game called the Chant that caught my eye. I'd never even heard of it before. Oh, it's been out for a few years. So that looked interesting. The Chant it was called. I totally would, it's a third person kind of game. So it'd be all about what I'm interested in. So, but I didn't purchase it, I just wanted to say I'm trying not to purchase any games

now until Death Stranding comes out, because I'll probably concentrate just on that. So, since getting something else I'm never going to play. Try not to do, try to avoid doing that. I've got so many games that I've played a little bit here and there, and normally once I finish or stop playing it and I never go back Never go back and I decided no more old game remasters the oblivion remaster I Did that a couple times I got the thing

As a remaster it was pretty cool, but it's just too old and I also had gotten shadowman played out just a little bit, but it's just too old. And I also had gotten Shadow Man. Played out just a little bit, but it's... Even though it was remastered, it's still the same old blocky 3D graphics. When they were really awkward back then. Alright, let's see. I'm not seeing anything going on. Let's go into Etsy. A couple orders.

Nothing over the weekend, though. But now it's Father's Day. Mother's Day is now. Now Etsy's advertising Father's Day. Pretty cool. Couple things over the chicken. He's sort of reaching activity on Etsy. Couple things, let's check any sort of recent activity. Let's see. I had some purchases, some favored my store. I have 148 items listed. All right, so nothing going on there.

And I haven't had any downloads in the last few days. We'll check it again. I keep changing my so I'm at 290 podcasts so far pretty cool of course always one in the morning I haven't done any besides that in a while 291 I'm at 292 let's see we have one download cool skeinsville Brooklyn Manola la Crescent I want to say oh United States any any

in the European countries in a while so that's cool. Again it's my message in a bottle of the internet ocean wherever it may go so we get a little bit here and there and it goes to my YouTube page so that's where it mainly goes. Let's see and then let's go on to YouTube and see what's going on Again, I haven't done any videos in two days in a row, which is unusual for me. Usually I'm pumping out even little ones I did list a couple things, but I didn't even I just didn't even do a video. I just listed them took pictures So we're thirty seven thousand one hundred and fourteen subscribers Most of my promoter listings are ending therefore everything's going down really slow

The view hours are going down watch hours are going down everything's going down of course my revenue $22 down down to $22 and 42 cents so as soon as I stop not that it goes up at all it doesn't early so kind of After a while it just kind of nicks your motivation to keep doing stuff because it's just it's going nowhere But it is growing, but it's then it but it's not it's good. So Subscribers, I really matter how many have I guess I could have a million subscribers, and I don't think it would make a difference matter how many have I guess I could have a million subscribers and I don't think it would make a difference nobody's really watching anything that you do it's kind of a moot point but we like to do it so I like to complain

about it too but it won't go anywhere for me so yeah all my views now below 800 my top views pulling I think all my things ended my Life in a double shape, but I'm gonna do my first one-on-one outside Talking about eBay. I'll set up my laptop With a camera although I could just if I can get Wi-Fi out there, I'm not sure yet and we'll we'll go through that We'll see if not. I'll do it in here I may not be ready because I don't know if I get Wi-Fi way out there out in the backyard so let's say all right let's go on to eBay eBay's been steady I just finished a sale so

let's see if we had anything left over. Did I say I had another return or something? $10 I've been taking. Oh there was yesterday I took a low offer on a motherboard. It was for the PS4 Slim 2215A and it's the S, I forget which one it is but it's that one and the 2215 a and it's the s Here's one is but it's that one and the bud owes a f-004 and I took the offer and Then the luckily the buyer luckily I want to say that luckily the by later

Contacted me and said well, I have a SAF oh three. It's basically the same right? I'm like SAF 003 it's basically the same right I'm like heck no It's definitely not the same it's a different completely different inside power supply has a different plug and Distributes different so I was like don't buy this because I'll just refund you I won't sell it to you because you're just gonna ruin your whatever you have left over And you're gonna ruin my motherboard So I was like heck no Glad the guy contacted me because it would have been one of the things where he would have got it nothing would have fit

And and then he would have returned it. I would have been like what? Cockter slot this let's check the Feedback excellent correct part worked as expected very condition looks really nice for genuine vintage part great price too that's cool that's all I asked for I just everything I have most parts are like 13 14 bucks which includes the free shipping you know I can't go any lower than that. So we have a couple new orders. I took that one little offer there. I had an offer for $10 for some of the inner metal for the GameCube on the bottom there. Let's see. So I had six orders so far this morning. Cool. I got all

my orders done yesterday so I only have one to pack up so let's see yes we'll get the inner metal hard drive covers I got those 1439 I got more I got more of those around where did I just see those um uh we balance board uh main board main board those couples I found a bunch of more Sega Dreamcast the top cover I saw parts off those top covers that's really my main seller off for those other than the motherboards are already sold just the buttons and then fan at Famicon I sold top cover off the Famicon. Pretty cool. And a hinge. Ooh, where did I put that hinge?

Hinge in the spring. I gotta find that. I know I have one more of those somewhere. Gotta find a way to put that. So, so, so PS3, that's a PS3, the original model A, model E they have the that cartridge slot that oh there's the the door that opens up on the side there on the top cover it has a hinge cover and a spring and I have oh I sell them a little bit more because and all the rest of them that doesn't open

Even on the B and model B doesn't open the top cover on that one Just on the A&E and it's for all those slots inside that really nobody ever used So kind of a random Stuff this morning Gamecube Xbox 360 which is the 143939 but it's the bottom hard drive cover and then a Wii balance board main board dreamcast like I said the two buttons for power and reset button oh no power and open button. The Famicon top cover and then the hinge cover for the PS3. So pretty much one thing from every different system.

Pretty cool. I have tried to get lots of things listed for everything. I'm going to do some more mass listings very soon once I get done with a little bit more outside. Then we can work on that. I think I can, I think my sale ended today so we'll put these up. So my sale ended and we'll start another sale it'll be lower during the week and then I'll make a little higher in the weekend. That sounds like what I'm gonna do. Okay so we'll do that. So let's see if that sale ended now. Let's find out. So today we're gonna continue outside as usual but we will gonna do some videos

today. I'm only gonna do a little. I'm just gonna finish that little part of, it's not really a little, it's a huge pile. It's gotta go, I have a wheelbarrow, it's gonna go from the back room. I'd show you, but it's just a real mess. I don't wanna show you anything until I get it cleaned, a little bit cleaner. Then we'll have a little setup and a little outdoor studio out there.

But it's gonna go from where my bottom back room is to the gazebo, and the gazebo was just so full with stuff it's just crazy but luckily I had it to put all that stuff in there because it all needs to go somewhere and at least it's covered and not really kind of hidden again it's just metal and plastic but just so much of it a lot of it's still good cases and covers and but I just kind of had to I had to give up on stuff I just couldn't hold on to things that were never gonna sell so that's where I'm at there I guess it'll be an early morning to you so an

early podcast this morning just a little little bit tell you what's going on and maybe today I'll plug away at some stuff later on I'll show you the little setup. I made my mother mother in the backyard. It's a little greenhouse I set it up back there under the carport and she came out pretty cool I'm happy with it She likes this section she can still get around still drives and does all that. So this is great to, for her place for her to go in the backyard. She had it in the front yard last year,

but it's better in the backyard. She can do more back there. I'm gonna put a rail up so she can walk along that rail. And then that little area. So I'll keep her in the backyard a little bit more this summer. She'll have more fun back there. I think. Because like I said, I said Mother's Day yesterday is, you know, every day is precious. You never know how much time you have.

So I try to make the most of it. try to give her the best place to live and condition on and stuff to do. Again, she's still mobile, she still gets out and drives around and does everything she needs to do. So that's cool. But you never know, as you get older and you live in mid-80s, things could change significantly Quickly, I hope they don't forever, but they probably will at some point So I'm just trying to prepare as I've been saying and I think if something were to happen, I would probably start a new podcast talking about Well, I thought about doing a podcast or a one-on-one Talking about caretaking and you know in the

later years you know the toll it takes on the caretaker because well my mother basically takes care of me too so and it would have to go unfortunately it would go into a now i'm on my own kind of thing and i think that would significantly change everything I do including the podcasts and the videos and everything it would I'd probably add more about that a whole series probably I would but I may do I'm thinking about doing a podcast soon about or not maybe a video one-on-one video just talking about anybody else that's a caretaker out there Who is in the later stages of it? I mean, I'm not liking the hospice stages or anything like that, but

you can significantly things see things changing and then how affects you too and your own Mortality and everything so it's a everything goes kind of goes hand-in-hand As you get into the later stages here, so it's but luckily everything is pretty much Winter was kind of tough, but we've got the spring in that in summer now, so all summers almost here And we're at a good Everything seems pretty cool and pretty normal. I think should be routine again. I'm a huge routine person So to change that would be

really really hard But it's inevitable And then I said to keep my own Sanity and stability which will which we don't really have a problem with that part. I We've got things to do financially would be Another that's a whole other issue. I don't think I'd be able to afford to stay here Unless again, I was hoping YouTube would pay off but not seeing that happening

so And I thought about well, maybe I should do some some videos and stuff Just talking about YouTube like a lot of those professionals do all the videos is basically the same question Same thing saying push this button. Don't do this button. I mean I guess sure I could do that But unfortunately for me all the buttons that push doesn't do anything So I'm on the other end of it where I pushed every button done every button And have thirty seven thousand one hundred and fourteen subscribers subscribers yet I make just about zero in monetized but I am monetized so I have to be happy with that. It's exciting to get there it was

really hard but the what I was expecting and what I ended up with is completely different it's not that I haven't although the last couple days. I haven't done many Videos just because I got to get this project going finished or at least that that phase of it complete But we'll see alright, so I was just gonna leave it at that so hopefully all the mothers I called me angels of the world had a good Mother's Day and And enjoy the rest of the summer I will continue to do the same and I'll try to get some videos going very soon If not, I just have my podcast here in the morning for for a few days

So just to check in make sure you know, I'm still around Just kind of I had to died. I had my focus had to go outside now It was really nice out yesterday to super nice not too hot yet. That's the other thing. I'm gonna get all these things done Before it gets too hot and then it's gonna be really uncomfortable to try to do that stuff so I'm really plugging away at it and Tarps on top of my two carports so it cools it down even more than under there now so it'll be nice and cool as cool as you can be well I'll have a direct Sun I took my carport if you look in my playlist you can see the front carport saga I had two I thought I had one carport and it was fine, nobody complained.

And of course for me, I always want to do more and I overdid it and I bought another bigger carport. I filled my whole front yard, my whole front driveway with a carport and then that was it. The town shut me down and I had to take it all down. But it was really fun when I got it up. It was really cool in the front. I mean, it didn't look the greatest,

but it was two carports in the front over your driveway. Isn't that what they're for? But they said it was impeding and all this stuff. So now I split the carport into three and they're in the backyard which now that's actually much better for me in the backyard. So we turned a negative into a positive. And luckily the town didn't bother me about anything else in my backyard,

which they probably could've. So we're just trying to now turn it into, I've made them into something I can use in the backyard. While I'm staging to continue to, this is all a master cycle that I need to do. It's all related to gaming, all selling gaming products in the last eight years. I've got a gazebo full of all the carcasses.

And I got piles, you gotta see the piles of the Xbox 360 shells, the wall of carcasses, 360s, 1439s, all those. I got piles of them, it's pretty crazy. Plus the ones I haven't even opened yet. I still have got at least 75 of those left. So that's my morning. And we'll get onto the orders and we'll see what it later on brings.

Alright, you all have a good afternoon. I'll talk to you later. Alright, bye.
