I did my Next "Spooky Skull" Stop Motion Video Yesterday. I also rebuilt a Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Epic Sewer Lair.

Good morning everyone. It is now 6.13. We sprung our clocks ahead so we lost an hour of sleep. Which is fine. I kept my clock, the original set, so now my clock is back on normal time. I didn't even bother doing the fallback on my clock. Up by my bed where I sleep. I just kept it an hour ahead. So now when I woke up this morning, it was just the normal time. Alright, so, yesterday was a pretty fun day. I did a lot of things different yesterday. I had gone out to get some stuff and I came across this really fun, super fun actually,

Rise of the Ninja Turtles ninja turtles sewer layer epic sewer layer so I made a nice video putting that all together it's pretty much everything's there it took me a while to figure it out but I kind of got it now huge though you would need a you know a good size room to put that thing and has little trap doors and a couple things are broken on it But mostly it's together Missing a few pieces looked online you could probably you could on eBay you could probably find the other piece like the workbench workout bench rather

Barbells there's a couple of things missing some little lights But overall it's all there and it's huge so that was my fun project took me about an hour and a half to do it of course I didn't read the directions correctly so I had to double back on a few things I missed and then there was one piece right way at the bottom that I somehow I left it sticking out I don't know why but it was fun I enjoyed it so today and then I decided to do my next little spooky stop motion video So I spent some time on that

I came out pretty cool different trying to learn how to do it As I was doing it I seemed I've gotten a little better at it, and then I tried to have a good ending So that seems pretty cool, so that was fun. I did that yesterday those two things instead of doing some gaming I was gonna do my Amiga 500 which I got the upgrade Motorola 68010 p12 Upgrade just just just a small upgrade from the 68,000 CPU p8 that's in it now So So I was going to do that yesterday and then we came across the turtles so we thought we're gonna do this. Try to find out if I

can find something that's completely different than what I'm normally doing every day. I like to mix it up. I'm really into my little stop motion fun stuff. Little video. It's the only thing I can think of that I can do as some sort of a... I want to do some sort of animation or film but it's just me so I can't really do it otherwise but it's pretty fun. I like it. It's my little you know thing so I've done three of them now. I've done my Wacky Wizard which I like. He's hanging up on my wall up there you can see him in most of my live videos my wacky wizard. I have my Udicity which I did at a different angle and that one came out pretty cool. I had pretty fun with that one and then I had my DS, the

first one I did. But we'll do more, see if I can get a little better at it come up with ideas but I might do another one today I think actually a couple good ideas I'm not gonna overwhelm myself with those because they take a while because you gotta do each frame at a time and then kind of move stuff and think of how it would look when it was moved because I really can't tell how it comes out obviously until the end I just kind of start it and then just go with the flow and just end it. It would be fun to put sound on it and all that good stuff. Maybe add some more lighting effects and things.

But I'm just at the beginning, just learning to try to do it as an extra thing. Always looking for new ideas to add to my YouTube where I can. Keep mixing it up a little bit. so that's what I try to do all right so let's see what's going on this morning so today we will go to my Amiga 500 at some point lots of football trades going on because they're always talking about the football season there is another football league but I've never really watched it it's changed a few different times but I really don't watch the regular football anymore like I used to so not

real big deal but there's lots of swaps going on right now quarterbacks and all kinds of stuff all right so let's see what's going on. There's a Minecraft movie that looks really weird. It's got Jack Black in it, he's always got some crazy movie. But big fan. Cooler Master. Windows. So we got some, we had a bunch of sales the last couple days, not a bunch but a good amount. I'm not seeing anything in the news that's jumping out as something I missed overnight because I go to bed early so I don't really know what's going on until I wake up unless

I can hear something earth, you know shaking or something I would know But I don't see anything Okay All right, so let's go to My Etsy this morning. I haven't had any sales on Etsy. I was really excited. It's been going really good But no go again, but I got some good feedback I look at my feedback and see of course I check all my feed review was just as described

used to replace screws on my childhood GameCube so those screw sets all the time for the Nintendo GameCube so that's exciting I like to see I like to see that help people out that's the whole point of really doing it I mean I mean I need to make a few bucks to pay the bills. That's about it. I'm not really a money guy at all. I don't really don't need anything. Other than get some fun stuff to play around with,

to video, or to break down and sell parts for. Pretty much that's it. And I just want to pay off the house. I owe a little bit on it and stuff like that just taxes I just need just as long as I can survive because eventually it's going to be I'm going to be doing this on my own and I don't know if I can survive on my own for what I'm doing unless something uh like the YouTube would would it were to take off a little bit and offer me some more income then maybe I can survive on my own I may have to downsize

Sell what I have and get like an apartment or something really really don't want to I'm gonna try not to but I don't know how Something got to be something happens my mother that whole income would be gone And it would be really hard, but I'm working on it. I'm trying to come up with ideas Every day alright, so we got nothing going on in there. Let's check my RSS feed. I didn't do anything else other than my normal podcasting. I'm wondering if we'll just check it out. Always like to see what's going on with my RSS feed.

RSS.com, this is the one I picked. It was another one, Podbean or something. This one was pretty simple. The subscription is not too expensive. Again, I don't make any money doing this. I just wanted to add it as another addition to my YouTube. So I had four downloads. So I've had 80 downloads in the last 30 days, which is really fun.

Let's see, Ashburn, as always, thank you Ashburn. Finland, very nice. UK, Eifert, pretty cool. Sweden, oh I like Sweden, very nice. Malmo, Malmo, Malmo, Sweden. So, anything else there? Malmo, Malmo, Malmo, Sweden. So anything else there? Netherlands. That's pretty cool.

Some of them I can't say and then a few others from the United States, Houston, Lindale. I've seen Lindale a lot. Danville. I'm not sure about that one. I don't remember seeing if I've seen that one before. Hattiesburg. So I'm always appreciate anybody that wants to grab my message in a bottle over the internet ocean as I always call it. All right, so that's pretty fun. Yeah, so I'm thinking I'm up to for podcasts now since I started doing this is up to 226. That's a lot. I mean I do one a day. I was I started doing three a day, then I went down to two a lot and then I do one a day I was I started on three a day then I

went down with two a day and then it's just I'll get down to just the one because I'm always doing my this isn't really my wake up it helps me wake up talk about what I see for the morning everything happens through YouTube and even well definitely eBay all right so let's go on to let's go on to YouTube as we segue there pretty fun. So we're growing oh I added those videos yesterday let's see what we got here cool going up here I have my spooky skull look I had a few views on that 320 views of my spooky skull 383 views on my the rebuild of the rise of the teenage mutant Ninja Turtles epic sewer lair they call of course everything's always just 20 28 sex dumpster and i saw this

is dumpster uh fun stuff to repair stuff to repair fun stuff to repair he put dumpster they call it radio shack, used to be called the TRS-80 dumpster or something like that, I forget what they called it real fun though alright so we're at 21,912 subscribers My hours my revenue is going down down down down below to $23.48 I've been promoting my for five or ten dollars here here and there

So that usually gives me around 300 views and then that's all I can do but luckily my eBay has been better these days just basically just make enough to pay the bills and I have a little leftover but I have to try to start saving for the un you know things that could go things could happen sooner than later trying to get myself ready for that I really haven't saved that I actually haven't saved anything. Alright so let's see what we got here alright so we're on eBay now this morning. Let's check my messages.

Today didn't... Alright, so I have an offer for $10. Yeah, probably just take some $10 offers. Still doing $10 offers, I really don't want to, but I have a couple of those, so we'll do that. See, and I always say the reason why I don't take $10 offers is because I have free shipping, as I always say, and it's not free for me. So there's a $9 offer, I'm not gonna do nine dollars it's just too much to

I don't even want to do ten dollars I only have a couple of those left over because after I after all of the fees and everything to get it out the door it's almost nine dollars now to caught my cost so therefore that's some other weird country I'm gonna deal with that right now that's another thing that happens is international shipping because they have to pay extra fees they want to Go lower for me So I have to they want me to compensate for their extra shipping costs international and that's not happen Because I've or I've bought Thousands probably tens of thousands of dollars worth

of stuff overseas and I've never had one time that I can remember a international seller offered me less amount so they can compensate my shipping my extra shipping international shipping costs and I've probably spent thousands of dollars extra on just extra shipping costs. But if it's something you want or want to check out, these are all international gaming systems I wanted to learn about, so I had to get them, so I had to pay it. It's pretty simple stuff. But so if I see a low offer and it's international, that's what they're trying to do all right well this is all right so so I had an offer about I mean somebody was talking about the ps3 Fat they always have an up our on off problem And it's the motherboard and this guy was asking if it was the power supply. I'm like no heck

No, it's not the power supply, but he says he has bugs in his which is very common sounds gross, but it's often very common So I'm here to order, which is fine. I have another order from yesterday. Excellent, thank you for feedback. I don't think I have anything new for feedback, so let's see. No, that was just the boxes, those came in. So I get the feedback with this buyer, for me as a buyer and as a seller.

So I had one order. I took that $10 order. It's actually a big order though. Oh, I have somebody that bought a whole bunch of PS3 defective donor inner shell disk drives. This is the ones that are for the, actually he ordered a whole bunch of them, pretty cool. So they are the backwards compatible drives that have the drive board on the outside. You find them on the A, the B, the E, and the G, most of the Gs. And basically it'll play,

well it's just a disk drive so if you look at a disk drive like a PS3 disk drive, PS1 games are just basically CDs, PS2 games are DVDs and then PS3 is a Blu-ray. So these disk drives will play all three of those versions of a disk. However for the game you have to have a model a we're talking ps3 fat again model a and model B are the the original backwards compatible the motherboard is what makes it play ps2 and the reason it does is because on that motherboard which is a COK-001 it has an official PS2 EE chip on it.

Therefore it will play just about every PS2 game. What I did learn is that every PS3 fat plays PS1 games which I didn't know. So it's all about the PS2 games. So then there's a model E which is a COK-002 motherboard which is does not have the does not have the original PS2 EE chip on it. It uses some kind of an emulation. Therefore it only plays a few... it doesn't play many PS2 games. So it's not an official backwards compatible. That I just learned recently, just, I don't know, the last few months or something, as I have been going back through all my systems

but adding my buddy Zippy for more details, and I learned that. And then I verified by looking at the board, and you can see the EE chip on the COK-002 but no EE chip on COK-001 is the EE chip not on the 02. So some fun facts there. So I sold all my really good drives for the backwards compatible. Those three first drives that again are for, for the A, the B, the E, or you can use them on the G.

But then I ran into some buyer issues and you can see my negative feedback about drives. Every one I shipped worked. But I didn't know at that time, one of my real negative slammed feedback was a buyer that said that almost none of the games work and now I know why. We're all talking PS2 games. So look through my negative feedback and you can see it. I don't hold back.

I stand my ground. So that's what happened. He probably had a Model E and a lot of PS2 games wouldn't play for him and he was blaming my drive and now I know it wasn't the drive it was his because he had a model E so I didn't put that I didn't relay that with the buyer at that time because I didn't know he was I didn't know the difference but now I do so any who I saw I sold six of the drives and these are different I put these as defective donor they're just all the inner parts of it you just take off the top and bottom cover and I sold

a few bunch of them so that's pretty cool so that's my only only order but it's a good size order so so that'll help me out. Again, we're just paying bills, that's what we do. As everyone does. And then we just ride the amount of, as things just keep going higher and higher, and I just don't see where, I actually had a weird dream about it last night, where things are actually gonna not stop keep going up food gas water everything you know I don't know especially housing oh my god luckily knock on wood I only owe a small amount of my little house here, but it is enough that it's but compared to

prices of housing Owen my Assessment for my house went up a lot and I only have a little house and one of a huge amount So Taxes gonna go much much higher for me. I already pay a lot for taxes. I just don't know how anybody can survive on between housing and rent or rent and or that's insurance the housing insurance is crazy and we I have about the cheapest

car insurance with a package and it's still the whole the house insurance is just out of control so a little bit of a bills 101 here this morning so yeah just so just the two offers I mean the two orders today's Sunday so we're gonna go on to some other stuff. I'm gonna print these orders out. So that's pretty cool. And then we'll see what, later on, come check out, see what I got going on my YouTube page.

I'll be doing some fun stuff later. I'm gonna do a couple more things that are, my stop motion maybe. I'm enjoying doing that. And then we'll go on to my Amiga 500 and of course we'll find other tons of stuff and I'm gonna I got a Atari to throw in there somewhere maybe tomorrow get some other Atari boards to retest I've got most of them as parts boards but I think I have a couple good Atari boards so

we may throw some of that I have to get back to PS2 Slims. I got a whole bunch of those to Go through and get some more boards listed of the different models. So that's in my future So We're gonna go from there and maybe we'll play a game here there Really into doing that so I didn't play anything yesterday. Maybe today we'll see All right, so you guys have a good afternoon and a good Sunday Peace to all out there, and I'll talk to you later. All right. Bye
