Our 2004 Jeep Liberty 🗽 2WD has been the Best Ride and Reliable for Many Years to UsTry Saying "Metallurgical" 5 Times in a Row Really Fast Out Loud

Good morning, everyone. It is now 532. Today is September the 1st. Oh, my God. I can't believe September 1st already. 2025. And we are on Labor Day, and it's Monday. So everyone is either starting to get ready to head back home or they're already on their way back home, wherever they were so everyone have a safe trip back home to wherever you are long again this holiday weekend just flew by nice cool weekend nothing really special for me here but we did get a car so that's fun I was playing around with that for a couple days that's more work to do with it but I asked to go over and get a VIN check done so I need to get that done and need to be inspected I purchased it in Connecticut right on

border of Rhode Island so got to do some extra jump through a few extra hoops just to get it registered in Rhode Island here but we'll get it done so we'll get that done yesterday I worked on Sega Saturn that's what we did pulled out a bunch stuff and I showed you I didn't do a video though I just did the live stream I never turned down the video I forgot to so we just had a live stream of doing I'll put that up today as opposed to a regular video So you can see that Sega Saturn. We put it on that for about an hour.

I went in my closet, showed you all the Sega Saturn in my closet. And then after the video, I spent some time really organize it. So now I get everything where I needed to be. So all my, I have to list a lot of Sega Saturn stuff. But first we needed to organize it. So we did that after. And then what else do we do?

Of course, I always spend a good hour or so my buddy Zippy, working on my project journeyman. overnight sights and sounds and it's all about programming my Raspberry Pi 5 for some sort of visuals so we came up to some other visuals and then I had right now my Raspberry Pi 5 is in a flick FLFLRC case it's passive meaning that it's just there's no fans in it so it gets really hot so I found this cool um Intel uh heat sink fan that was never used for a Celeron and it fit right on top of the passive case. So then I turned it into a cooling station.

It's pretty awesome. I have another one coming in that I purchased. It's the style of an NES. So we're going to put that in there. And then I also put my little fan on top. I run up like 5 volts on that and it cools them down a lot significantly. So I was able to run a couple of different PY codes last night together and it didn't didn't overheat so so yeah I really

enjoy that so I made I decided that now that I have a car and a car payment that I need to go stuff back so we are going to sell my PS5 slim I have a portal to sell that too and I think I'm going to resell the Nintendo Switch 2 I just got too because i just don't really don't need it right now but always get one later and i think for ps5 i think i would get i would invest in a pro down the road so we're going to get all those stuff for we're going to say goodbye to all those we're going to mold factory reset um look at them a little bit more i also had the disc drive for the ps5 as well i may keep that though and then i'll wait until the pro comes in at some point and we'll just put that not can i'm playing any

PS4 games really no reason I need this drive but yeah so we're gonna that's what we're gonna do today I decided I'm gonna sell some big things got some bigger bills now so and I'm really just not playing games I really into working with my buddy Zippy and working on Raspberry Pi programs it's really fun I really enjoy it and eventually I want to go back and do some I want to do Oh, I want to go back to basic programming and haven't run some stuff. I'll run some videos with the old basic programming. I've got a cool little, what do you recall?

TRICD, small things I can use to run maybe a Raspberry Pi. I mean run the projector through, I think. We'll see. Now it's just all about Raspberry Pi, it's just really fun. I kind of understand the coding, although I don't do it, but I just give me ideas, and then I can go in and just manipulate it a little bit. But I'm just really just changing text lines. I'm not really changing codes or anything.

I like to learn it, but the odds are pretty slow enough. I probably never will for any, any, any, uh, programming. But I, uh, Raspberry Pi is just, some of a new thing I can learn with my buddy zippy just a brain extension was pretty awesome all right let's see what we got going on here this morning oh you know what I had yesterday and I missed it on Saturday I had an order on parchment so now we need to check a different way because I somehow I overlooked it so we had an order and luckily it's something I really didn't have but

luckily I still did have it so we had a few or here on right now on Etsy so we've had a couple orders on Etsy so that's pretty awesome it's been getting a little bit better because they're in people's cart and stuff so that's pretty awesome all right so let's look on to a few sales there so we're up this two thousand one hundred and seven sales here on Etsy, and I took like three or four months off. I wasn't going to reuse it anymore, and then I reestablished it. I'm glad I did. I do get some income here. Very minimal. Again, it's 20 cents per listing every few months, so that adds up. I have 126 listings

times 20 cents. I don't know, it's like 40, 50 bucks or something. So it does add up. I have to sell something. I'm like Parchmark where we're going to go there now. I had a sale. So congratulations to me. I did sale. I feel excited about that. I wish I would have noticed it on Saturday. I would have got it out. It's for a Nintendo Switch. No, no, Nintendo Wii U GamePad motherboard, a white one. Luckily, I have one of one extra one. So the problem there is I didn't know that I had a sale. go to offers but i have to hit my sales i didn't do that so i left the guy i messaged saying uh i just sold the offer i mean i just saw the sale but i won't be able to get it out until monday well i just said a really weird deja vu huh it's pretty wild i just said a really wild deja vu right now i was talking about this so it's pretty interesting so we're going to get that that out and I did find out that you get a you get a label to print out right

through Hashmah so I'll have to go hunting around other labels comes out of the sale looks like that's all right so that's my first sale we'll get that out I'm able to say we'll tear that down so I have a game pad that I've been using as a tester now I'm not gonna have a game pad but I can always find one later so we'll pull that white one so the the problem is is On parchment, I put all these listings up, but when I sell something on eBay, and I need to go through this today, it doesn't come off here because it's not connected. There's a few things already that I've seen that I've got to pull off, and I've got to do more today. You've got to look at it.

As things get sold, I have to go through Marshmark now. Technically, I sold what I'm selling someone in the parchment, but luckily I have another one I hadn't listed. So I was like, shoo, I hate to be the first sale, and I have to roof. on the guy. It's a bummer. And that usually ends into a bad feedback. So I need to go through all my listings and parchment. Find things that I've sold that should be still on here.

So it's another thing I have to add. And all of the cross list to these kind of thing that you have to do. And it's always the one thing that I had sold. I mean that I did sell on eBay that somebody would order here. somebody would order here on parchment go figure right who I see something like there when I see something I have to click on it then I have to delete it so we got to go through the parchment to try to avoid that I haven't done that until I just noticed the new sale so it looks just exciting you know I got a sale

parchment yay hasn't cost me anything to be here so that's always cool let's look at my RSV just been nice and cool at night's sleep. Last night I had just some crazy dreams all my long that I always do. Lots of alien dreams last night. That's just wild. I tell ya, I think it's coming and we are not gonna farewell. I'm gonna make a story about it. About my dreams of our alien invasion is coming.

So we've had 409 down. 409 downloads. I mean, yeah, that's how many. Ooh, it had two last night. Oh, yesterday all day, I should say. Downloads. Let's see. Canada, Waukesha.

Ashburn, is always there for me. Chicago. In the Netherlands, Zootina. Zoothena. I'm sorry if I'm saying that wrong. Sorry, I'm saying. My message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. It's always excited to see where it lands.

And I do this one consistently every morning. Because there's always something going out in the morning here. I'm always adding new stuff in the morning now to my podcast here in the morning. Significantly. I had more time. Okay, so now we're going to go to, oh, yeah, Shopify. So that's the next one. oh yeah because i'm i also cut back on all of my streaming i had added all kinds of streaming

stuff but now i i shut them all down so i'm not really streaming now i think i kept a couple three orders we've got three orders here overnight pretty cool but none you're saying that they're through Shopify another thing that's been happening I've got to figure out these things have been getting taken off as it's not so I got to figure out what's going on in the day and I have two different integration and we need to figure how I really wanted to cancel that. I guess I'm not going to be able to imported. Okay, I wanted to just keep it.

So that's going to cost me between that. eBay integration and Shopify. But this is where they it does cancel out. It should cancel orders out, but it seems like it's pulling the other things that are not sold. So now I have to get it either. So I had to re-initiates a bunch of stuff. Let me see it. Or orders.

Not starters. Build. Okay, so let's go to, um, so it gives me a preview. Okay, so it gives me a preview. So I probably German over night, I had a few views. I use it around 400, and I get a few new subscribers. It's untapped time that I use. I like it.

So we're at 72,819 subscribers. Number of subs are under the water, or you eat them. These are my subscribers. They're going down a little bit, 14,233 in the last 28 days. Estimated revenue is going down to $42,000. two dollars and fifty cents my watch hours are going down now 1.2 view hours are going down to 25046 yeah I stopped promoting so things are starting to down but I can't now with a car payment all right let's look at a comment this is the the Japan

15,000 model 10 bottom screw on the other ones you're trying to repair the early model PS2's 1,015,000, 3,000 black. These early versions tend to suffer the R.D. RAM and clock chip failures. New clock ICs can be

so easily with the iron RAM. Yeah, there. So he's just trying to tell them that out of there. That is great. Info.

However, I do not do board work or no electronics. I either sell working motherboards. or defective donor mother ones. I let those that do fix them. That's great info. I do board work or no letters. I had to sell working motherboards. Working, I used to sell working.

Working motherboards. Or defective donor ones. I let those that do fix it. so that's the reason why that okay so then we have the ultra oh you know this is that's cool it was that um like that cool microscope i came across uh it's it's there's a word for i can't say it's metal word literacy it's like surgical meturgical that's a really weird word takes medical it takes metal and then

you take out the S and urgical Metorogical But it's for A microscope for metal If I'm right So we did that

Anything different I try to put up Different videos of stuff I have Other than gaming You know what I mean? It seems to like all that other stuff Gaming, you can only, you can't do the same thing over and over again. I have to try to mix it up the best I can.

Inside, Outside, videos are I very, my overnight, probably Journeyman. We're going to add a lot more visuals. Now I can cool my Raspberry Pi down now, a lot better. I'll show you the fan that's added to it. It's pretty cool. It's just basically a CPU Intel heat sink fan that sits right on top of my Raspberry Pi case. case and if it's perfect it makes no noise and I put a separate 5 volt for it so it just runs

all the time and it seems to be a lot cooler now and I don't have hair or anything so it's it's not it's louder it's really small it's for CPU but that case basically is just one big heat sink anyway it's just passive that has no fan in it but now I have a fan on top of it with a heat sink and blowing and sucking some of the air out of there I'll blow them in. I don't want to show which one is going. Okay, let's look at, oh, email.

So we had a couple of sales. My sale, I think, ends today. So we have an offer to. I did list those two things for auction just to see what would happen. So we have a, respond to cancellation let's look at the orders first I don't think our order is getting cancelled Atari the PAG links all the screw sets and the not complete though adds the embodies

have all that stuff find it it was over in the corner so it's the hard the hardest thing of selling gaming parts it's having a bag of something special screw sets or something And then a year later somebody orders it and then you have to find it. Oh, it's so hard. Try to keep all the things I think would sell where I remember, but not always. And once in a while, actually, I had three orders just in the last month that I had to cancel. Just couldn't find it. It's terrible. Usually it ends up a bad feedback.

Fast shipping, good condition. So, no bad feedback in a while. that's helpful all right so let's see what first we go to cancellation if someone doesn't want something i automatically cancel it for them let's do that first was an order for uh 7022 let's look at the message here though there's a message make sure it's not related to the cancellation Yeah. In case, $100.

Yeah, it would probably do that. Why wants the cancer laws? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. The challenge I have

best offers. as you do. Top and bottom bottom. So I think he wants the whole thing. All right, $50 Macintosh. We'll take that. It's for the front easel. I want a lot more for it, but this is what we can get for.

for us what we're gonna make that was intact so I can be smart it's always it's going all way to wash it's all right so that gives me another order there then I need to cancel this other order so let's go cancel that order now there's always so much to do first thing anymore okay I'm up and ready to go as soon as I wake up Especially with my project journeyman running, I sleep different, completely different now. I sleep, but I'm awake a lot. It's really weird. I guess I call it trippy.

It's very trippy the way I sleep now. I'm always alert of that I'm live streaming while I'm sleeping. I don't really move around anyway, but I just want to make sure that nothing's really weird as going on when I'm sleeping. But I didn't look for anything supernatural, though, you know, for me. levitating in the bed and stuff. I dream about it all the time, going super natural. Upon my issue, I was having trans allergensis part. Sorry. So I can read this that. Yeah, usually those are never the problem.

So now I have three orders. That's how I had chocolate pie. orders to that they are just to make sure it's somewhere in here it's got to say where it's eBay eBay those all they're all saying eBay unfulfilled three two two probably one got canceled so that's gonna come out of there so I canceled it would have been three orders okay so Shopify showing me three i only seen two because one is should take that off hopefully well now i have three

ones we listed a few things yesterday some bigger items uh i did put those two cases but all the engraved signatures in it up for auction to me make a few bucks off of those see if it would go anywhere i don't think it is really going to go but i have best offer on too so Let me do. Let's look at payments here. We're going to keep pace. And like you said, we're going to sell some of my big things too. I think.

I may change. Like, it's all the other big stuff that I won't have to. So we said we're going to, but right now we're all right. I want to check something else, too, in a second. I want to see, suppose by the end of the month, the two things that I was hoping someday will be another survival hustle for me, not even a side hustle. Both YouTube, the end of the month is when you would get paid,

but you have to have $100 in it. And my RSS feed says I get paid at the end of the month. Sorry for the commercials here on the podcast, but I'm trying to make a few months. I'm looking for another survival hustle other than just eBay. Let's see, like I said, it's a side hustle at best. Most of the time. So let's look. Let's go to AdSense.

So Google AdSense, login, ad sense, login, ad sense. this is where I will get paid by today but we're not going to be there Google so yeah see I'm not going to get paid so I only did $68.40 for that for this month but never really changed

so negative on any payment from Google basically google if i can make a hundred dollars that pay that offsets my youtube tv my mother needs likes her uh live tv and that's something i would have to get rid of immediately if i was on my own that's a hundred bucks and i looked in like sling tv and uh hulu but they all end up being around the same price uh hundred dollars so if i can least make the hundred dollars to offset that per month on my YouTube that would help can art I can't even get to the $68 because I can use it it's not it's not accessible or I would like to build to use

it towards promotions but it doesn't give you that option either so let's look at one more thing here let's go to so I have my RS feed monetized payments go through PayPal. Payments go through PayPal. No, I'm not negative on that either. Bummer, but maybe we get some payments. So it must be the same deal. You have to have a certain amount.

Well, I was a shot in the dock, but no luck. So we just, again, eBay is my only survival hustle, a lifeline, basically. We've got to keep adding to it and do more stuff. We're going to start another sale today. It's going to be a straight sale, 30% off today. Although I've been taking a lot of offers. Again, if I have something, this is for 100 and you do 50, I actually just about took one right now. I'll probably do it.

But if I have something that lists at 13 and you're not going to be down to 6, there's no way for me to go. So it's not going to happen. And I'm most likely going to block you to do that. So don't do that. So, yeah. So $100, a lot of things that I have some $100 stuff, I'll probably go down to $75, just because you need of cash all the time now.

But if I see something I really don't want to do, once in a while, I was just like, there was a case, empty case I have for a TRSA portable. He only wanted, like, first you gave me $25 for it. That's a heck. And then it was $37. I think I have it out of like $75. I was like, yeah, because it's really big and bulky. And I got to find a box for it and all that.

Plus, yeah, a lot of times I just don't want to do an offer lower because it's a lot of work. and I don't want to not fully deal with it for the offer you're given me. Just make any sense? It makes sense to me. I had a tube for one of the

for the classic Macintosh, the tube, the guy I only wanted $30 for it. And I was like, I'm going to put it a, I'm going to find tatting for it. That's, yeah, I ain't doing it for $30.

Right? So it's stuff like that. So it all depends on what it is, what kind of process I have to go through to get it to you and if I really need the money at that particular point in time so that's why I just took this Beasel the front beasel for the other it's the Macintosh Apple classic no it's not the classic

it's the M oh oh one E 512k it's the front Beasel I took it for a lower offer than I had it in my most office I just put up at random So it's not really a set thing that I expect to get if I'd like to. But at least you can always start high and then you work your way down, right? Nobody's going to best offer you more, right? It's not going to happen. And plus I also have 30, usually I do 20, 30% off. So I'm already taking off of the sale.

So therefore, the sales will you start. They start higher. And you work your way down. You don't place you can go. You don't go back up. I've never seen anybody off. anymore some such thing actually right all right all right so yeah and have a nice safe trip back or if you're on your way or if you're almost there and then reality kicks back in for

the work route tomorrow but it's a shorter work week but then after this Labor Day then we're kind of there's a lot of little holidays here and there side today I do a little bit outside I started working on all I did my car yesterday too I did a quick video of my car listed on Craigslist I haven't done Craigslist forever oh look at my phone was Craigslist you list them like Craigslist and every crazy person that comes out of the world and everyone wants to offer you a bank certified check and all that nonsense so you got to deal I'm gonna deal with all that so and I also thought I also had a snowblower that I've been using

years I put that on in Craigslist too so we'll see some other things I want to put in Craigslist but it means I have to interact with humans one-on-one and I'm not really good with humans so I don't want to do that but for my Jeep I put it up fifteen hundred bucks runs good just needs some more motor work done I'll get some extra rims a whole other set of rims for it and everything condition wise is pretty cool and the interior is not too bad so I change the seats in the front of leather to vinyl seats. So it's great for around the car, around the town car.

It smokes, though, but not for travel. I couldn't rely enough to travel in there. So, all right, everyone. So that's a nice long podcast this morning. I want to see if I had any weird before I go. Let's look to see if I had any weird text messages from Craigslist. That's my new thing now. I got to check these.

No, I'm seeing it. and i also put a link to a video of showing my car real quick for like for 60 seconds so if you go to criggs as you can see the you can click on well you have to you have to copy and paste the link but you can uh go there and see the so you see the photos on craigslist and then if you copy and paste you can it brings you to the my youtube page where you can see talk about my truck but no I don't say anything let's see me I want to see my phone to kick through here let's see maybe it coming through I'm checking here now comments so we'll keep an eye on Craigslist we'll talk about Craigslist

I already had I just have our the first day yesterday I posted on Craigslist like my car and I had just one silly message to Of course, silly. I got a bank check. I'm not in town. Oh, nonsense. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, also we've got some software. We'll track Craigslist now. I haven't sold on Craigslist, but I sold a lot of stuff over the years on Craigslist, but I haven't actually sold on Craigslist a long time. Again, it's interacting with humans that's not the best thing for me. But sometimes you just have to do it. I can't sell a car. I was going to put it on eBay, though. You can't sell a car on eBay. I may put it on eBay, too. Obviously, it would be local pickup.

So we'll probably do that, too. Because I actually helped somebody sell a car on eBay once. So we'll probably throw that up on eBay next, just for fun. I don't know. Get it out there. All right, so now I'm probably going to go. I'm wide awake now. All right, so have a great end of the long holiday weekend,

and I will talk to you tomorrow. All right.
