Enjoy The Mother's Day Weekend as Every Moment is Precious.

Good morning everyone is early this morning. It's 523 Today is May 10th 2025 and we are now on the weekend today Saturday. So yesterday I didn't do I only get a really short podcast and I didn't do it till almost I think around 9 o'clock Because I spent a good two hours before we got torrential rain here. Well, not torrential rain, we got a lot of heavy rain. Doing a project where I have two carports in my backyard, that used to be in the front yard

is a whole carport saga, you can see that in one of my playlists, but they're in the backyard now but they leak still so I had some these giant tarp that I decided to cover both of them and the top was really dirty and by the end of the time that I did it took me a couple couple hours I was a mess it said dirt and grime everywhere but I got it done and then I got then I did my podcast did some stuff and I went back out and I tied it down better before it started to rain pretty awesome then within the next hour so we get a little rain and we get a lot of rain so it was a cool project

that the key reason why I did that is I need more outs I need that for storage I gotta keep on packing a few areas and I also did I found some more Xbox 360 fats when I was pulling through an area that I'm cleaning out with the the best better heat sink although they're not in the best shape, but I cleaned them up as much as I could But I made a little video while doing it so I did one video yesterday and did a short and I put that short on Listing just to say that hey, I really don't have any really good ones I've got ones that are intact, but they just the fins are kind of worn I use my wire brush to try to clean the fins the best I can but

that's where the heat I mean not the heat that's where the air from the fan goes through it the tall one the GPU one and it just gets metal wear on them. A couple of them are not too bad some of them worse than the others but there it is a heatsink and if you don't really care if you just want to replace your bolt mod with another heat sink. But if you look for something really nice and shiny, I even wrote, I don't have it right now. I've got, so I found another stack of 360s.

So there's three places now. I have three sixties My next goal is I have a middle shed outside that I'm gonna pull that all out I'm gonna take every 360 I have left Get them in one place and then what we'll do is This summer I'm gonna do some outdoor gaming parts stuff work on projects outside under one of my carports now that I got the tarps over them to give them a little more. But I'm going to use the other one that's really small that gives me a backyard view. So we'll do some stuff outside. We'll see how it goes. I mean try to get there. This. I'm definitely gonna do it while at the same time working on my mass recycle

the gazebo just gets filled more and more with Stuff it's just it's gonna cost me a few thousand dollars to get rid of all that stuff I'm gonna try to do it by next year in the gazebo the whole thing Get some of an excavator. I can in and just lift the old gazebo up, and then just fill the bucket with, and have a dumpster next to it. Crash it, or smoosh it all down, throw it in the dumpster, the gazebo that is, and then everything that's in it,

just scoop it all up and get rid of it. It's gonna be a major project. But for now, that's just mass storage where I'm putting it all. It's just metal and plastic, of it. It's gonna be a major project. But for now, that's just mass storage where I'm putting it all. It's just metal and plastic, so it's nothing that needs to, nothing's really gonna do anything. It just, kinda have to store it somewhere.

Lots of good stuff in there too, but I just can't, I just don't have any more time. I'm slowly running out of time now. Fortunately, I can see something happening here for me. I may start a part, I may see something happening here for me. I may start a little video talking about caretaking and seeing things as they progress now. It's kind of scary in a way, but things are changing and at any point it could change significantly. Meaning I'd be on my own.

But hopefully it doesn't happen for a long time. Many years from now. Maybe we'll get lucky and it won't. I also gotta keep track of my own health. It's the same thing. But some things are, so I'm slowly working towards a major change at some point not sure when it's gonna be but we'll see just take day by day enjoy every single day well speaking of that mother's day is Sunday brother supposed to come over and

me my mother supposed to go for breakfast but she hasn't been feeling well at all so I don't know if she's gonna go or not but maybe my brother will come over anyway and see her for a little while so we'll see what happens alright so let's see what's going on this morning Death Stranding 2 has gone gold that's pretty awesome

this is a new Lord of the Rings coming out or the new series so that's pretty cool big fan of lot of the rings Let's check the news here for a little bit I see anything well there's lots of stuff actually. I look for anything that a NASA's to tune into a black hole prelude. Black holes, Death Stranding 2 is coming out. I wiped all my games off. Preparing for the Death Stranding 2.

There is a controller. I gotta look on PlayStation today. May 22nd it comes out. I didn't see a whole console set like the original Death Stranding remember it had a PS4 Pro and That really really really cool controller, and I think I bought a set that thing at the time Then I went sold it all But there I don't believe that I've seen a ps5 Dedicated system like a custom-made console. I

Could be wrong. Maybe somebody knows that they've seen one. I just don't recall seeing one come out It just seems to be you can get some black covers and stuff like that But there's not one that was made for a certain game that's coming out. Death Stranding 2 I would think would be it. But now I'm seeing a controller. We'll see. It'll be so hard to find anyway. I was looking at Etsy. So yesterday I changed sales. Oh, we have a sale. Yeah, sale on Etsy. So I had a couple sales. Let's see. Want to order. Oh, my screw sets. So many of those on Etsy. It's all right sales let's see on order all my screw sets so many

of those on Etsy it's all right though it's better than nothing it helps pay for the because it's 20 cents per listing for every few months so that adds up so all my listings I own my screw set for the Nintendo Gamecube that's what I sell all the time Etsy but I'll take it It's a few bucks. I make five ten or five bucks off anything A lot of them I sold thousand I gotta be in the thousands of screw sets for the Nintendo GameCube Between Etsy and definitely since eBay in eBay. I Still have lots and lots left but the problem is there are certain

screws that I'm low on so I may run out. Then I have to look elsewhere. I've got a box that's got screws all on the bottom of it and that's where a lot my RSS feed I changed put a new Image trying to get more say what I did the same with my YouTube summary look Again we're talking about getting outside now So we want to be outside doing stuff. I have one download pretty cool No, we're in RSS feet calm Doesn't say which one I had for the last day, but oklah I've had four in the last

seven days But I'll ask 14 days let's go down seven days Last seven days oklah Brooklyn, uh Gainesville, pretty cool, Gainesville, Texas I believe. But I've only had two Apex and Manola. So welcome everybody that comes in. It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean as we always say. Do it every morning help me wake up kind of get a view what's going on and then it also goes to my YouTube So it's not like it does get some Viewing a little bit. I usually get a few on a few six or so views on YouTube See So let's see what else we got going on here.

Oh, so speaking of YouTube, I did promote the long videos about an hour. Oh, and then I started doing live feeds while... I'm not going to do that yet. Live feeds on TikTok now while doing, I was doing YouTube live at the same time as videoing, but I just really wasn't getting any. But if I put it on TikTok live, I can get a few hundred views. So we'll do that now. And then we just do the video and the video gets uploaded to YouTube if you have if you have

If you have one use a air compressor to clean Air compressor a super hard to find I do not One oh This guy's over using air compressors. Best I can do, best I can do is use the wire brush. can clean them further once they get them. Okay. I do not have one. I'm just gonna use an air compressor to blow out the heat sinks.

But it's really not. I don't really have one of those to really do it. I use that wire brush, it seems to work. So I'm at 36,740 subscribers. So clucking away at almost 37,000. I said clucking, I don't think that's really a word, but we're getting there. So we had one comment. Revenue, always disappointing, $23.34.

Views are 101k, watchdowers 742.2. Those are about the same consistently. Of course, my revenue stays the same. But like I said, I decided to show off all. I wasn't getting zero revenue off of live feeds anyway, so we're not going to do them that often here on YouTube. We're going to change live feeds over to TikTok and I'm going to see if I can muster up some activity over on TikTok. We'll see. I always have my videos here

of course and then podcast. Alright let's go back to eBay. I clicked on it once. I was ready for it. I started another, well first I started a 40% off sale for the weekend but I was gonna do it for all my sales and then I was getting wrecked because 40% off my little guys meaning my small items $13 that's my minimum it was down to like almost $8 I just so I did that for a little about an hour it was like a flash sale and then I took down the 40% and I redid another one at 30% which is more what I can handle And I took away you can you can you can change it so that anything over 14 under $14 was not in the sale So I just can't people best offer anyway, then I was getting some people I did best offers and some of my little guys were at

Less than seven dollars it was seven dollars and sixty cents and yet I still had a buyer best offer me for seven dollars And then somebody else best offered me five dollars. I said I'm done with that so I cancelled that that sale right away See that's I'm saying no matter how low I go people want right away. See, that's what I'm saying. No matter how low I go, people want me to go lower. It's just insane. Gets old. Let's see what feedback. Well-maintained fan.

Four-pin fan. Well, they're really dirty when I first get them. I have to clean them all out. This is the Xbox 360. The special fan, it's the NIDEC fan in there. You can tell which one you have it if you do, but it's the black label. It doesn't have the whites of the eyes through the grill, but those fans when you pull them are not well maintained. They need to be cleaned. Every blade I have to clean it because they're really really dirty

I've got actually every one that I have now is really dirty so they must be cleaned first so Almost want to reply to that saying it's not the way they come out Because it's a fan. You know fan. It's air same with the heat sink same thing. It's a fan. It's air. It's And you know, it's a fan and it's air. Same with the heat sink, same thing. It's a fan, it's air, it's exposed air for as long as it's been out. And it's gonna get worn, it's gonna be dirty, and it's gonna, the metal's gonna get worn.

It's just, people think I 3D print stuff, brand new, but I don't, I just pull things, and they're in whatever shape they get pulled and I try to clean the best I can but trying is the best I can do. $25, $52, no light. I may actually just take that. Yeah I think I will just take that. I know what that is. This is a white light. We'll just get rid of that. I've had that forever. So, we'll let that one go. Half the sale. Well, let's see now. If I have something for $50 and somebody offers me half of it, and if it's something I haven't sold forever

and sure I may I actually did this one. I said alright I'll just take the half price I need the money right now so but if I have something listed for $13 and you're halving it down to $8 then it's not going to happen because that means I'm not making any it's not gonna happen because that means I'm not making any I it's gonna cost me eight dollars, you know So I can't half off Low prices, although yes, I do have best offers for on every listing and I always will But doesn't mean I'm gonna take it and it's just not logical and it's not I Can't change your old money for new money. I need to make a few dollars So now I have five. I have five five sales let's see what else we got I need to have at least decent weekend so

it seems like we're alright cool alright so sometimes it goes really fast from in a minute I accepted to when it was paid pretty awesome alright so we got that motherboard another heatsink set somebody chose the other set, the one with the different GPU. I can do that. Commodore 64 bottom case. Yeah, bottom case. Cool number one. I have that.

Panasonic Q. I sold some Panasonic Q stuff. Ooh, I sold a whole bunch of Panasonic Q. I sold some Panasonic Q stuff. Oh, I sold a whole bunch of Panasonic Q stuff So I bought four items at sale so the broken off Board one two three four boards off of that. So that's awesome. That's what I was looking for sales on Panasonic Qs So that's four new pieces I sold. I've done really good with

selling pieces off of that. Somebody bought a whole bunch of stuff off it so that's pretty cool. So I had it this will give me a good weekend which I really needed because at the end of the month taxes for the house are due and all that stuff so that'll really really help me out. So that sale was pretty cool. I Know we've had some decent stuff. So I was up early. Hopefully I'd have some good sales and I did So we'll get all that stuff out today Let's see we're out for time 17 minutes Been a little long haven't been able to get to my 20 minutes, but we'll stay for a little bit longer

so let's go through that so we have a PS4 1215A motherboard that had just white light only and no it has the white light but only is no video very common for those so it's not a flashing blue light it goes to the white light but there's no video so I'm assuming some sort of IC chip or something on there and then the other was a heatsink set. But it's a good CPU heatsink, thin one, but it's the other aluminum one over the GPU. I'm actually going to put some more of those. I'm going to revise that.

Because that one I get sell some The GPUs I made sure I added a new video to the one It's the video of the short I did yesterday saying how Those are now that's all I have left is ones that are kind of kind of worn I just want people to know that so there's not a problem later. Because I just had a bad feedback from those. But that was a shipping damage. And then I made sure I repacked them differently.

Because two, that shipping damage. One, I had to replace it. So sometimes, if anything goes wrong, it's totally on me. And lots of times, it's totally on me and lots of times It's just in the haste of rushing to get orders out And I don't do something correctly and then it comes back and bites me Yeah. Oh, yeah, so we had the Commodore 64. I had a whole bunch of those. I sold every motherboard every keyboard Vintage computer parts sell pretty well. They actually they probably sell better than gaming community computer parts sell pretty well actually they probably sell better than gaming parts

gaming parts rather and then we go to the Panasonic Q like I said that's the one that came from Japan it's a DVD player but it also plays I got one that was missing the front panel and I had it for about a year I never really got to try it out. But then I finally tore it down and then I started selling parts off it and I sold lots of stuff off of that. So I did really well from what I paid for it to selling the parts off. So that's pretty cool. But you know everyone needs parts.

And this buyer has taking four pieces, so it's pretty awesome, and it's that 30% discount so Again, I had that 40, but it was just too much I Couldn't make anything that way so 30% is fine. Probably about the highest I will go I had a coupon, but I got rid of the coupon. They're just just gonna do sales every Every weekend, maybe I'll do this gonna do weekend sales. I think I'll do 30% every weekend Something like that. I do 10% during the week. So we'll do something just to keep things moving along here All right, that's about it then back in YouTube and nothing's although we still growing oh I'm on to my one-on-one. I'm

due for one. I may do a one-on-one outside. I'd like to do my first one-on-one outside. I gotta mow my lawn for us because it's a mess. So we'll get the lawn mowed and then I'll do a one-on-one in the backyard so you can see the backyard and stuff as I do it. We'll do it really early morning. Backyard so you can see the backyard and stuff as I do it. We'll do it really early morning Nice and quiet back there nobody bother me And then maybe we'll do some live feeds out there in the back But we'll do I also do my trees go I do trim a tree. I'll do that shooting the shit and and and Trimming the trees is usually my videos. I'll do mowing the lawn

Anything in the backyard videos I'll do mowing the lawn anything in the backyard and plus all the projects I'm waiting to get it cleaned up some more before I show people what I've been doing but right now it's just a mess a complete mess but we're getting there and I got it now and you can see the gazebo see how stocked apart packed up

It is of just metal and plastic of every gaming system You can think of this top covers bottom covers cases and then I have stacks of stacks of Xbox 360 carcasses meaning I pulled the heatsink sets on and they didn't really store too well, so they kind of yeah, oh yucked up but Somebody might want you could probably get parts off them I may put a listing up for a local pickup of them all a really really cheap thing thinking about doing that they just didn't store well I had to put them in the second out it's not an outdoor storage but storage it's still kind of outside and it just didn't really sit well but Now I'll just they're all electronics. I could just put fill up a couple truckloads

I would take like three truckloads and just bring to them Throw them off that way. So it's probably the ideal probably the better way to do it So alright, so let's see. So let's be here for this morning and well today we'll do, I'm not sure what I'm going on today. I just got to review some of the orders I have today, Saturday, so we'll get my orders done first. I don't know what the weather is today, it's going to be better. Mother's Day is supposed to be nicer. So everyone, all mothers out there have a wonderful day this weekend on Sunday and I'll make sure my mother is taken care of my brother will be over so it'll be fun every day
