We Have a Long Presidents Day Weekend.

Good morning everyone. It is now 524. It's Sunday, 2-16-2025. I didn't realize this is a long holiday weekend. Tomorrow is President's Day, which is kind of interesting. Because right now the government is going pretty crazy. But it's interesting to watch what happens. I think a lot of stuff is needed. How far it goes, we'll see. I try to stay, I'm actually very neutral.

As long as it doesn't affect me directly right here where I'm working, then I'm not really worried about it. So we'll just been watching it. It's very, very interesting. So yesterday, I kind of took a break yesterday. I did just a really short podcast yesterday, first thing in the morning. I didn't really have a lot going on. And then I did some orders.

I got my oil changed in my truck. Lots of garbage. I had to go drop all that off. And then I decided to just play my game for the day so i have this game i'm really into right now it's been a long time since i've found a game that i really like it's called atlas for atlas falling uh rains of sand it's really fun um tends to be after a while games they they pretty much are the same thing over and over again more quests to go on and more side quests and stuff like that all games are basically the same but it's pretty entertaining for me uh so i got almost eight hours into it which is unusual so

it's eight hours of work that i haven't been doing uh between youtube and ebay but i just want to take a break it's hardly ever that I don't that I sit down and just get into something other than listing more things on eBay and but I need to keep doing that so I may take a break from the game now but because it's been fun so we did again we did about almost eight hours into it which is a lot for me for a game and only in a few days I think I had like four four hours in yesterday. Normally those hours are usually saved. For listing stuff.

So we'll see. Where we go today. So that was my little break for yesterday. But I got to get some stuff listed. I got lots of stuff to do. So. While they're talking about the halftime. Super Bowl show.

Sounded like it was one of the worst ones in a long time. From the reviews I've seen about it. Nothing I would watch. Uh, let's see, anything else new? AI's, Rock 3 chat. So there's another chat bot coming out. AI's growing. I'm excited to see where it's going. It hasn another chat bot coming out. AI's growing. I'm excited to see where it's going.

It hasn't really changed much yet. Nothing that I've seen that significantly says it's a lot different yet. But hopefully when AI can see, then all heck will break loose. I can use it for that. Let's see what else is going on in the news. Today's Sunday,

yeah, so today I gotta get back to, although it is Sunday, you would think it would be a day I don't work, but it's really usually a good day to get stuff done. So, we'll work on that. Let's see anything else in the news this morning.

Let's go to my RSS feed. Yeah, yesterday was my shortest early morning podcast. I just couldn't really get motivated. And I didn't really have a lot going on. Nothing going on is actually not too bad either. Usually when a lot's going on, that means it's issues and stuff I have to deal with so it was kind of we encountered issue oh I gotta fix my my subscription here I just realized that I changed my payment I mean that that's the reason when my cards got messed up so I'll need to fix that my RSS feed is down right this second oh yeah so my car got

canceled and they haven't sent me another one and this car had everything all my things linked to it So I keep seeing get things popped up that I need to fix. I forgot about this one. Of course, everything is to authenticity. Just go to your phone. I'm trying to get this going here. Alright, so I need to change... I have to add a new payment here so we'll do this so I'll come back to that let's go on. So I gotta make a do. I'm kind of ready to get it done now. So I get that.

I don't want to lose that. Because everything is a subscription, of course. You know, the... RSS feed is a subscription. So I pay into it. It doesn't actually pay back at this point but I enjoy doing it especially in the mornings and eventually I'll come up with some more new stuff for I just kind of took a break for a little bit cuz I just

couldn't cope with any ideas so I'm'm going to come up with something eventually. So I'm just entering in some info here so that I can turn my RSS feed back on. Because I like to use it. The subscription is more than if you were to get

a paid service of a it's more the subscription is more than if you were to get a paid service of a like say like a Netflix or something so it's not cheap to have the subscription but again I kind of enjoy it so

and I think I try to I must get that one wrong try to you know I like to send my message in a bottle across the internet ocean it's always fun let's see what the process now so we'll get that done fix that yep so that we're good there redo the payment. Oh, it's not too bad.

It's cheaper than I thought it was. I can't remember. Alright, so we're going to catch up on my bill there. Okay, so I think that should be all set now. Okay. Alright, so that's done. So let's go back to RSS feed here. I don't need a receipt. I just need to get back to where it was so i'm at how many i've done podcasts i've done uh 203 so far pretty fun

and again i'm down just one a day right now i had two downloads last night, although they were very short. Last 90 days, I've had a lot less downloads all time, which is 89. I've had 379 total on the last seven days. So, it's pretty exciting. And a good Lindale,

Ashburn, always Ashburn. Philippines, somewhere in philippines pretty cool San Juan Liverpool Awesome, Dallas Always appreciate I like to see and then I have a new dot now because this Philippines that's way out in the west Past Africa China way out there Almost about Australia cleaning. I love seeing those little pop those ones pop up that's why I keep doing just for the fun

of letting people find it new new homes alright so we're gonna go on to YouTube let's check some more news here I don't see anything that's looking. Except for a lot of the government stuff that's going on. Weather. It's pretty much lots of wind. We were supposed to have a winter blast this morning. But I didn't notice any out there. But maybe I missed it.

We're in, again, the middle of February. So the rest of the winter is here. Whatever we get now for the next month. Actually, March is pretty much confused. Winter, too. And even April. All right, so let's look at YouTube. I didn't really do anything.

Oh, you know, I did my life in a double shave. It's something I've been doing for a while. I shaved my own head. I'm a big fan of doing it. It helps me get all the stuff off my scalp and it just cleans me. I feel a own head. I'm a big fan of doing it. It helps me get all the stuff off my scalp. It just cleans me. I feel a lot cleaner. I did a life in a double shave.

Let's see. One comment. I started a video series called Life in a Double Shave. I set up a couple of mics and talk about what's going on. Right around that time that I'm doing the actual shaving. From things around me to what I'm doing and stuff. And then I just shave my head. Pretty fun.

That's all the thing I did yesterday for a live feed. I left that up for a while. And I had a few people up for that so that's pretty cool i have 181 views and i didn't i didn't promote it so oh that was a live feed that's right so live feeds will get you uh more views uh vertical live feed i do that i used to do on video but i've been just doing this vertical feed. And all my hours have gone significantly down now. My revenue obviously is the same, $29.69. I have one comment.

The yellow battery that leaked is actually the battery to keep the RAM alive when a laptop is in standby it's it it's not needed at all if it's running just a laptop from the laptop charger okay good to know. Hmm. I still... I will... re... retest that.

That again without it. This is one of my old vintage uh toshiba laptops this is a t44 actually i have it out now 1000 sx has a flashing red light i think i tested without it but we'll uh so I'm a big fan of really vintage Toshiba laptops I've got a few series that I haven't been able to get to work at that don't work at all which is a bummer

alright so that's my YouTube this morning let's see where we're at oh Etsy let's go to good Etsy think I heard something Bing this morning this could be it I'm waiting for a message and I think this is it sooner or later by any chance oh no this is for a new by any chance by any chance you have the power button to go

with the switch. The actual physical. This guy's asking about Sega Dreamcast. He's looking for, I have a power switch I sell all the time. The actual, the actual physical, physical button on the board. On the top cover I would assume that's what it means the physical the physical button on the top cover I do have that we'll find that ebay i have those listed then i have one order for etsy which is uh ps1 model 101 the original model

the bottom i mean the top cover empty top cover so that's cool there and then we'll go to eBay now and see what's going on. And I kind of shut my shop down early yesterday. So it really doesn't really get anything going on. And I wasn't doing anything. Return delivered. Oh, I have a return I got to go through. $5,200. $30 for something.

Yeah, I might take that. That that's fine that makes more sense thirty dollars for the top flop cover i'll take that that's make sense it's uh we're talking atari 5200 the big boy as i call them uh there's a cartridge flop cover and I had it for a little bit more than I knew it would sell for so I took the offer that was given I'll take offers but if it's low stuff

my minimum is $13 for my sales again we've talked about it for me to get something out the door now even if it's a screw, one ounce it's going to cost me eight dollars now so my minimum order is 13 so if you're doing a half off offer on a 13 listing you're going to get declined all the time because i i have to make a few dollars or there's no reason for me to do it. If I have a listing, that listing was at $45, and he offered me $30, that's different.

Yeah, that I would do. I could see that, yeah, that makes sense. We have feedback. Let's see what we got. Anything good? Oh, cool, yay. Let's see. The fan arrived, wrapped in bubble wrap,

wrapped well overall, shipped was pretty fast, came with a recommend gladiator that popped in and immediately worked. arrived wrapped in bubble wrap wrapped well overall shipped was pretty fast came what recommend glad that popped in and immediately worked oh it surprised me how quiet these fans are compared to the deltas i don't really see a difference so this is a xbox 360 fat um they all make lots of noise lots and lots and lots of noise so there's one one other fan. It's called the NIDEC fan. And I have them. Once in a while I find them. It's supposed to be quieter.

I don't really see a difference. But it should help cooling this thing for years to come. So that's cool. Worked to get my existing Thompson up and running. Thank you. Disc drive. The Thompson. The dreaded Xbox one, oh one through oh five Thompson.

I call it the dreaded, uh, disk drives that TGM 600 it, they never read. So, uh, I sold one of those. I sold those for parts. Again, I'll sell anything for working or i sell for not working and then you use it for whatever you need to make yours work right packed with safety in mind uh electronics wrapped and anti-static uh 301 oh oh yeah that was the the 10 bottom screw

now we're on ps2 fat uh the 10 bottom screw which has a smaller top power board i sold one of those so that was the feedback for that and then my other feedback was for another ps2 uh fat the six screws great seller it says great seller yeah again I'm all about positive you know upbeat fun I don't like anything that's negative or or or anything to that extent so what else we have for messages here well return delivered so we're gonna do it I've been doing returns different now. Only because they've been aggravating returns. This is another aggravating return. Where I detailed. This is a Dreamcast motherboard.

But it's the VA 2.1. It's specifically detailed. And this guy was actually. I think really a buyer. That bought a lot of things from me. And he returned it as. He didn't read the listing. So it was a buy it before you try it.

Try it before you buy it rather. On me. Meaning he opened it up. It wasn't the one he needed. So he returned it. So I call that the buy it before you try it on me. So I was. For the longest time.

As soon as somebody did a return uh as soon as i saw it marked as shipped i would just refund and then just take back whatever i get but lately i've been because something like that that buy it before you try it try it before you buy it return on me and it cost me like 15 15 or so for nothing which really stinks oh i have a return request i just noticed that too what's that oh that that just made my oh no oh the return request is the one i need to refund so we'll do that so i started the new series uh return deliveries. This is log number three. I'll do that in a little while. I want to see what I get because if you look through all my returns, I have a category or playlist, you call it, just about returns. And I've gotten some significantly bad things back. Things that weren't even what I sold. So. Let's see. Let's see how my summary is going here.

I'm interested in something. 15 hours. Where did I say I was going to go? We'll see where it goes to there. I'll stick with that. And then we'll see where it goes to there I'll stick with that and then we'll see where that ends up something I'm interested in to try to fix something else I have it's a 5150 but we'll see what happens to that I have three four orders this morning plus one for Etsy so that's five that's pretty cool oh crap so alright so we'll go with that and we got a couple orders here let's see what my orders are again here this morning

oh so we're in a normal 20 minutes cool so lots of things going on nothing bad though which is cool I like to have a nice cool weekend nice weekend here Presidents Day weekend and we'll get some we'll do some other stuff i may still may take another day off so i sold that $30 slot uh sets of screws always my favorite things because they always give back one oh and

also it's another um i'm gonna put some more of those up. The Nintendo GameCube lens assembly. That's the main focal part that breaks down. So this is a... The spindle. Not the spindle. The motor. There's a couple gears with the motor. There's another, the little sliders that the lens hooks up to. So it's a little set I sell.

So I sold a set of those. I had to add some more. I just found the whole box of those. I did a video the other day. Well, starting to play around with all those lens assemblies I found. A lot of them work to some degree. Most of the spindles

I think work. So, pretty exciting. And then I had another offer. Oh, I got to print that out too. So,

all right. So that looks like it. Let's see what my other offers, my other sales were here. Nothing great. And then the other ones are sets of screws.

PS2 fats. One is the 10 bottom screw set set i've been selling a bunch of those lately and so that's again it only has two long screws for the ps2 fat and uh eight is short screws with uh four four rubber caps and the rest of the caps are plastic. The eight bottom screw is the opposite. It's four long, four short, four caps, and four rubbers. And then that long flap. So those are my little orders for this morning. Easy peasy stuff. Nothing I need to pull or anything. So, pretty cool.

Alright, so you guys have a good afternoon. Again, we're going on a long holiday weekend. Some places you're not. But for us here in the U.S., we have President's Day coming up. So it gives me an extra day. So I'm going to try to get some stuff done today or I just take another break. We'll see. All right, I'll talk to you guys later. All right, bye.
