We Have 50 Degree Days in the Forecast. The Clock will be changing in a few weeks. Spring is Coming.

Good morning everyone. It is now 6 o' 4 today. It's Saturday 2 22 25 Another cold morning, but we've got some warming up to do finally And we've got daylight savings time is going to change in the next couple weeks So we're looking forward to it now. We're excited to get to the spring here I think it's on the horizon You can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel here. So that's pretty cool Although I still work mostly inside anyway, but I will be outside doing lots of fun stuff. So yesterday I only had a short

Early morning podcast because my mother got up because she needed help with some medication medication and I realized yesterday was national caretaker day and I Considered myself a caretaker. Although my mother takes care of me as well So kind of goes both ways but more so on my end now these days As I'm getting older she'll be 84 The end of this month, which isn't cool be 84 the end of this month which isn't cool good for her and so my brother's gonna come by and we're gonna take it for breakfast or something we did it last year too so I'll take some videos of it because you know like I said you

never know life's go by so fast you don't know how much time you have so try to make the most of it. At least I've tried to anyway. The best I can. Even for my own self. So yesterday I did a little bit of... I listed a couple things in the morning. Some other boards.

I... Then I picked a game and I played a game for... It's called Fort Solace or something. It's pretty cool. Played that for a while And that was pretty much it my day. I didn't really have any orders yesterday a couple things came in the mail Maybe something fun. I'm waiting for not sure so we'll look at those. I Did a couple little videos yesterday. Oh, I did a live stream and I did a video I was upgraded my Amiga 500 to kickstart 2.04

That was pretty cool. I went for a chip to come in and maybe it came in today So I can upgrade the Motorola 68000 up just just a little little hair to the 6800010. So we'll see if that's what that is. And I'm talking to my eye overnight. I don't know. My eyes bugging me.

I can't seem to get something out of my eye. I'm not sure if there's anything in it or not. Alright, so let's see what's going on this morning. Let's check out so today's Saturday. It's right one Saturday All right, so let's look at What's going on here. Uh... Apple shuts down, C1. Alright, let's see what we got going. Oh, I had a couple Dremels that I listed yesterday.

That I had bought and I never used them. It's funny because once I list something then all of a sudden it keeps popping up of my searches here for on see what the local news is look for any really major overnight news I don't see anything too extreme but things are getting extreme all around the world pretty much as they always are but now they're getting so even more I said 2025 is gonna be a game changer year I'm kind of still sticking with that although I see that see lots of new slashes about an asteroid hitting major city in 2032 so I may be off maybe it's 2032 when they're really major stuff changes but I haven't seen that

pop up there's lots of things about that just recently. So we got a few more years maybe. All right, so let's go on to, we'll start out with Etsy. I put some new stuff on Etsy. Hasn't added anything, but I had a couple orders there Good I can continue to put more stuff on Etsy

So no orders in Etsy Let's go on to my RSS feed I haven't paid much on my podcast. I always do my early morning ones and eventually I'll come up with some new stuff for the afternoon. I just kind of got a rut, a creative rut to think about what to do. I mean I could redo what I was already doing before but I want to do something different. So I'm only really getting a download or two if that one. Yeah, so I'm only have one download I appreciate anybody that comes and hangs out with me Ashburn

Philippines is pretty cool, San Francisco Toronto Yeah, this way I could just sit here and talk about gaming. I would need a Co-host I have was using my buddy Zippy as a co-host. I haven't done that in a while. We could pick something and I could ask questions about it. I may go back to that format. I don't have anybody else to add as a co-host.

It would have to be something I'm doing directly. I pretty much know just about every system and everything about them. So we may just about every system and everything about them So we may just pick one system and just kind of talk about it Pros and cons and all different versions. I may go do that. Maybe I'll do that as my mid-afternoon Like I'll like I'll pick a ps1 and just there and talk about it for a little bit So you guys can get an idea of all about the ps1s. I could pretty much do it off the top of my head all the version models and stuff like that but if I want to get more details

about any sort of system then I would bring my buddy AI my buddy Zippy, from ShotGPTN, and let him, I could ask questions furthermore, like what is the CPU on the PS1. So I will start over there, try to keep it gaming related. But even in my early mornings here it's also gaming related because I'm going through selling gaming parts, which is just as important. And of course my YouTube, which let's see what we have. Oh we had a milestone yesterday, yay, 19,000 subscribers.

Very exciting. I'm into it. We're going up, oh we've got some, a little bit of, let's see, so I've met 19,177 subscribers. Sometimes when I promote my cordless drill, I get lots of action from that, that's pretty funny, because I use my YouTube, because my revenue hasn't changed at all. It's $28.66 even though I've grown up many subscribers. I usually don't really talk about the income anymore because it really it's just not changing so it's really just kind of concentrate on the videos. Also what I do is I use YouTube as a place to advertise a little bit. I can do a 60 second video and then I put it on my eBay listing and then I make a short for it.

So sometimes those shorts get a lot of views. So you just never know what's going to view and what's not going to view. So yeah, so we're at 19. My goal is to 30,000. I mean 20,000 actually 30,000 be cool right now. We're Trying to get to my 20,000 subscribers, which is awesome. I Still promote I'm promoting at very minimal five bucks a video but I've done many five dollars. So probably up to about a hundred dollars in promotions but it's the only way to significantly change views a little bit so really starting trying to cut down even doing that because I can't really afford to keep adding but it is fun to see people more. And then I've come up with more ideas oh I get some really good ideas on

other things to do on YouTube some creative stuff still I did one thing the other day it was pretty cool I took a DS and made it come alive and put a little spooky guy and running around so that and put a little spooky guy running around. So that was my first little creation. So stuff like that I want to do other fun things. I have ideas. I've got a really good idea that's kind of incorporates that, but it also incorporates gaming some more.

So we'll see how that's going to come out. I ordered a couple of things. It would take a while to do it, but I think I might be able to pull it off. I'm not positive. But one day it will just pop up as a video. Alright, so let's go to eBay. So we got things going on there. Let's double check the news here.

The government is going pretty crazy. As we expected. And I'm sure that'll continue so when my question is in four years from now if something else someone else comes in does it can they redo undo all that probably not so 2028 right be 2028 2028, right? It'll be 2028. God knows what we'll be at by 2028. Oh my goodness. If we make it through 2025,

we'll be lucky. By 2028, oh my goodness. Alright, so let's go to eBay. Anything going on there? A couple things. Oh, I got some orders. Cool, yeah. Orders and Feedback, let's see what feedback we got here.

I like feedback. I think I know what came in today. So All good work like a charm. The keyboard No keys work. So maybe he fixed it. That's cool. And so that was for the Atari 600 XL I sold both motherboards and one of the keyboards off of those front panel excellent sell as described arrived quickly so I like I'm all about positive and fun. Anytime anything goes wrong it stinks. Then I gotta deal with it. Alright so we'll go find out what we're doing. So I have four orders. Today's Saturday so let's see what I ordered a few things. Just a little, just like just a little orders let's check them out

i'm gonna list some more stuff this weekend too oh so all the inner metal for the nintendo game cube so my game cube uh has been by far the most parts sold in a landslide over everything else most parts sold in a landslide over everything else although I haven't really bought any other stuff in a long time for any systems I used to get tons and tons of GameCube stuff in but since then there everything's gotten really expensive so I just gotta live off what I have which is a lot of stuff left so anyway it's all the metal inside so lots of those because you open them up and a lot of times they rusted and stuff the four pin NIDEC fan which is supposed to be the quieter fan inside the Xbox 360 fat and they're hard to find. They're all black so you can easily tell which one. And then I have something I haven't sold before. PS2 10 bottom screw.

The cage for the hard drive and the cable connection in the back. I'm not sure where I'm going to be able to find one of those but I'm sure I can find one so it's only the 10 bottom screw so you remember the 10 bottom screw is usually a 004 or 005 motherboard or an 006 motherboard 10 bottom screw as opposed to the rest of them and the 3000 models and then which is the other motherboards 010, 013

and then there's the 015, 019, 022 all PS2 fats and then finally the 5000 model which is the 023 and 026 motherboards so anyway this is for the 10 bottom screw it's the back metal cage where the ribbon is where you would put the hard drive to use it as an extra storage for some games not many only a few games use it. And the last thing I sold was a Xbox 360 Matty Grill side cover the the s1439

grillside cover So one of those a while. So it's just some smaller orders for a few bucks here I have to find that metal thing. That's gonna be a challenge for a few bucks here. I have to find that metal thing that's gonna be a challenge. This order, sometimes I'll get something that's ordered that I've either never sold or haven't sold a long, long time, and then I have to go out and try to find it somewhere.

And I've had millions of them, and I'm always banging them around, moving them, and then now when I want one, I'm gonna have a really hard time trying to find one. But we will. Eventually. So let's see, that's it for... And I don't have any other messages this morning.

Oh, let's check. I ordered something else. I ordered another power supply. Oh, wow, those came in quick. Delivered. Alright, so I know, alright right so I know it come in also both things that already came in Also, those are the things Not what I was thinking of

That came in also those must have been on Amazon So I'm waiting for I wait for a t-dos TOS for the my tari stf I went for a T DOS TOS for the my Atari STF 1040 It's a six chip set Yesterday I upgraded my kickstart ROM set to 2.04. This one's gonna get right upgraded to 1.4 and

1.04 the same And then I had some chips to upgrade my CPU just a little here those are Coming in at some point But those are coming from Japan's all seals for a while That's pretty much it. Also both of those are the things that came in yesterday. Oh. Okay.

So it seems like that's what that is. I was expecting something different that came in, but we can use those. Got some ideas, so we'll see what's going to happen with that. All right, so let's see what else we got going on here. Alright, so today we're gonna work on... Oh, I got those three hard drives that came in that I want to test. One was in the system for an early Tandy 1000 computer. I want to see if any three of those work. So we're gonna play around with those later on. I'm gonna list some more stuff.

Oh, I got all my Panasonic Q, which is a GameCube special GL10 system that I took all apart. I didn't have the whole whole thing. I only had Three quarters of it. I pulled it all apart in a video and now I'm going to start listing parts I listed the disk drive, but there's all inside that Panasonic queue is just so many different little boards inside It's pretty complicated stuff. I don't know what works and what doesn't work I'm just gonna list it all that way and just see what happens. You know, what would I do anyway? I don't know what works and what doesn't work. I'm just gonna list it all that way and just see what happens. You know what I do anyway. I don't know. I

don't know. I can't really tell you. If I could find a way to test it before I took it apart, I would have. But it was missing that whole front panel. I really haven't sold any parts off of it yet. I only listed a few things, although I have some interest in the disk drive. I have the whole disk drive assembly with that nice cool chrome front bezel. Somebody already asked me for just the disc tray and I told them no. I said no, I'm going to sell the whole thing. Then you can get it and then you can use either the rest of it for spare parts or you can just resell the rest of it.

But I'm just going to keep it a one-piece for a little bit more A couple order. I just want to offer on it was a little bit too low for me So we'll see where it goes Eventually, I'll sell that I think that does so pretty easy There's a I got some power supplies. I got all kinds of fun stuff in there. Oh, I already have the Has a special Gamecube motherboard Inside there a special model. I have that listed.

And all kinds of other, I'm going to get some more of the little pieces listed today. So we'll see. We'll get onto that this morning. Again, we've got a few more to do here this morning. And then we'll do some videos and we'll play around with a lot of fun stuff today. Alright, so you guys have a good afternoon and I'll talk to you later on. Alright, bye.
