Taking Out The Darkness Inside Our Subaru 2021 Crosstrek with Tint Removal On All 4-Main WindowsThe Japan PS2 PHAT 15000 10 Bottom Screw is Different Than 004/005 or 006

Good morning, everyone. It's early this morning. It's 5.13. Today is Sunday. It's August 31st, the last day of August. Wow. Like I said, I blinked, and August just went by. It was craziness. So we're in a long holiday weekend. So everybody, I would assume, is where they're going to be when they travel to their vacation spot for the weekend. So tomorrow's a holiday also. So all the people are in. place in their vacation destination I should say so everyone's having a fun time wherever that may be for me it's just home just another day just doing our thing that I always do every morning just had a nice overnight journeyman successful evening went pretty well the amount of views have gone down but we still get a few views and I'm waiting for my brain scan to come in and we'll I had some more live visuals of my brain as well as I sleep because of course every night

even last night I had crazy dreams all my long and I do toss and turn a lot but I besides that really don't move much I only have a small bed anyway so it's it's just a little off bed but I turned into into a little pod and a little sleeping art place so it's pretty fun So it's valuable time I can use overnight, so I grab a couple subscribers overnight while running it too, so pretty cool. I knocked the lights down to just the minimum, so it's not so I took off all the color lights, just one I have. So you can see the background on the screen on the wall. It works out pretty fun. And of course, I'm always programming something new with my buddy here Zippy, so I'm learning about Raspberry Pi at the same time.

So if you see a new visual, that means I worked with my buddy Zippy that day sometime to come up with that new visual. It may not be a lot, but it still takes a lot to do just that little bit on the wall. It's not really easy to do. But kind of in communicating with my buddy Zippy, it's taking me a while to quite get what I want off from, but it's gotten better. It's pretty fun. I really enjoy it. I couldn't do anything without it without that. So it's a miracle we have that.

It's pretty cool. all right so let's see oh yes yesterday um when my 2021 superoo cross track cross track we got in um i took all the four main window tints off and then of course i videoed it and it was actually pretty easy peasy and now my mother can drive it pretty much a lot easier now she went for a ride for the first time again it's something new she's not used to she was nervous and then with all that tint window it made it felt like you're really close inside because we're used to a 2004 jeep liberty so you're driving in jeep and the jeep is way up in the air it's you know it's pretty fun so now we're down low in a car so it's a huge difference uh even for me when

i was driving it it is fun though it's supposed to be half the gas that we're paying for cheap liberty so for now that's what we're going to do which is pretty awesome so yeah got all the tent off uh went around i'm going to clean up some more uh wiped around the uh i did all the wind They needed to be done. It was all streaky. Scraped off some stuff that was on one of the windows. You're using that scraper. I went to ACE yesterday to get a scraper because I needed a scraper to do to get that window tent off.

And I can imagine how much it was to cost them and put all that stuff on there. I left out the little windows. I left those on there and I left the back window on. So it still looks dark. It still has a dark look to it, although the tents go on, especially in the back windows. They still look dark. but if you're inside you can see out fine so that's the whole point so it actually worked out and it made it look a lot better now it's not over dark like a crazy

I don't know why somebody would want it like that all right so let's check out the news this morning let's see see we got anything going on in the news here the Frankenstein oh god I ordered all the way point out which is just my my brain scan and I order a little raspberry pie NES cooler because I need to cool down my raspberry pie All I have this is a little passive case for it, which meaning it has no fan. I need an active case with a fan. This has a fan and a heat sink in it, so it should cool down.

It's coming from China or it hasn't even been shipped yet. We'll see. All right, so let's look. Let's take a look here. So we're into the weekend. So orders are done. Oh, another order on Etsy. So again, some more orders on Etsy, so that's cool.

Maybe people will realize that. 2,000 bottom slim, 5. Ooh, that's going to be a hard one to find, but I think I can find it. So it's a PS2 slim, the bottom screws, and caps. And I think I'm out of those, too. I'll have to look around. I'm sure I can find some, I think, I hope. We'll look around.

All right, so we've got those. So we're another little order on Etsy. They're always just a little order. It sees my little side quests, as I call it. It's not really a... It's been a side hustle lately. I've been getting some orders. How many orders is to say I have?

I've had 10 orders, so that's pretty cool. $141 in the last 30 days. So that's a side hustle. Obviously, eBay's more of my survival hustle. Never seen a thrive hustle yet. Someday, maybe, I thrive hustle. YouTube people would move my Thrive House. I just can't get it to...

So now since I got the car, everything went up, insurance went up. Now I have a car payment, so I had to stop promoting on YouTube. It's going to be really hard. I did a good video yesterday, but I didn't throw it. I still might throw $20 on it. I took about an hour to do all those four main windows. And, of course, I just strapped my phone onto my hair. shoulders in the front and then I can do stuff while I'm video all right so

let's look at RSS feet this morning still trying to see if I'm hoping you know if I got $100 at the end of the month for all my podcasts I'd be jumping to joy I would be so excited I'm sure not but we'll find out supposed to be at the end of the month we'll see if we I mean, you guys get a little bit of commercials here and there. Sorry for that, but I have to try to make some extra money. So I have no doubt on just today. So that's not a doubt in the last 30 days, 1,15, 158 all time. Pretty awesome.

The last ones we had were in Netherlands, Waukesha, United States. Ashburn's always there with me in Toronto. So it's a holiday weekend, so people are doing their thing. but I'm always as soon as I get out of bed so I just ran my 12-hour Project Journeyman

YouTube and then as soon as I'm out of bed I turn out on my computer Project Yearning Man gets shut off and then I go on to my podcast for the morning. So pretty much on YouTube 24 hours a day.

It's pretty awesome. All right so that's where we're out there. There. Oh, so how many podcasts have I done so far? 400. I'll be the 409th. And then I did a couple of other ones called Project Journeyman Day, one through nine, one through seven. I did a couple of those of speaking, but I've since stopped speaking while doing Project Journeyman, but it doesn't mean I may not go back to it at some point. Let's see. Well, we'll mix it up, of course. All right. So now we're going to go to Parshmark here.

I'd like to save a summit action, but I'm not getting in it. Not really anything else I can do them to sell stuff. But those like that. Don't pay to be here. It's my other one I have to decide what I want to do. So 1,190 subscribers. Because now I need to, I add up all my TV streamers to no commercials to, To so I could watch because I was watching all the time, but now I'm going to change it back to having commercials to cut the payments down because now I have a carbon in it. So it changes everything. Of course, we didn't have any offers here. So I've got to start cutting some corners. So eBay's been pretty good to me lately. I've got to get back on the bandwagon of listening a lot more stuff again. And we talked about it. I am going to.

Sorry for the owner, not awake yet. We're going to get a dumpster. There was a guy that I had got dumpster before, and I left a message. I thought I could get one for the weekend, but he never replied back. We're going to get one 15-yard dumpster. We're going to cut open that front of the gazebo, and everything's going to come spewing out, like cutting a fish open. But we have not got it.

I can't do it until I get the dumpster. It's going to just really come out. it's going to make a big mass but if i have the dumpster ready to go then i can just stop throwing in the dumpster we'll go we'll video all of course we'll get to that point but right now the gazebo itself i don't think i'm taking it down i'm just going to make it a walk through for now maybe next year i'll take the gazebo down but everything in it we're going to get it out of there and then i have a saws-all so i could probably cut off cut it up apart and take it all i might just take it down but now i have to recycle although most of it's metal except for the roof which is wooden shingles that part I can just throw it to the side or I can put that in the dumpster or one of the dumpsters still going to be pricey to do it but if I do it all myself it's pretty free I do it the way I'm planning on doing it now all right so now we're on Parchevonne oh shock fly let's see what we're here

Okay. All right. Let's see we have more this. We had a couple orders overnight. Just some little things. All my other orders are fulfilled. Tracking, everything else is in transit. I had one other order, but by the time the guy purchased it,

the mailman finally came. Because on Sunday, I mean, on Saturday, I can push out orders. can push out orders to like two or three o'clock well past when the post office closes because my mother my main my my mailman comes at the end of the day I did get everything out except that one last order and of course it's a holiday weekend so therefore nothing else is going to be going on this week until i can't now i can't push anything out until tuesday because tomorrow's a holiday one live visitor all right so let's uh go on to youtube of course we're growing still i still have my

one-on-one i had promoted sixty dollars so i'm still gearing up some uh two point five k on that one my views and watch hours have gone down 250.4k and then the watch hours are 1.3k my revenue is going down $44.56. So we've lost revenue. Now, I'm going to make the $100 in one month. That would be really excited. If I could get $100 a month on this and another $100 a month on my podcast, I'd be stoked. It would really help me out. Everything I do now is now is going towards the car. So my mother can have a nice safe car to ride around.

And it's fun for me too. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy it too. It's pretty neat. So we're driving around a 2004 Jeep Liberty, which was a great ride. It's a great ride. But now being a 2021 Subaru Cush Track, pretty awesome. So my subscribers are 72,5009.

So it's still climbing, only because I'm so running a promotion, so that's giving me those few extra views. So let's see what kind of subscribers I can add to my collection. So looking at the ones that I'm going to subscribe to now that I subscribe to me is someone has 8,0, there's one, they have 1,0, 2. those are what they have this someone with 76 yeah that was it there are the ones I could subscribe to nobody else I can see most of the I think of my number one country is India last time I looked it was pretty awesome and we did oh yesterday we also did we worked on somebody the guy that I didn't get the parts shipped out wanted two plates off of the PS2 fat but the 10 bottom screw and it was for the

0.05 motherboards so I did a bit a long video on that just kind of going through that I showed you the Japan version of the 10 bottom screw but it's completely different 15,000 model with a PC card the back instead of the hard drive place so it was uh so that's the video i did yesterday of course we'll put that up today we'll do the video we'll do that one and the one with the car i always put two links to my podcast so you can see what kind of i was doing yesterday so we'll just do those two today and of course project journeyman was done overnight as well in there.

We get consistently due in 12 hours. One night when somebody in the camera the phone went off, not sure why they did. Now, let's see. Oh, two, since the last time I talked to you, 72,600

now. Pretty exciting. But most of them are fake subscribers or they're not interactive. I think most are not interactive. Because you would think with that many I could get more viewing of stuff, but it's your content too if I have contact that everyone wanted to watch then I might get a lot of

subscribers to watch but I'm not they just subscribe and that's it but it's fine still fun to see it grow I like seeing things grow put a lot of work into it 12k in the last 48 hours and of course we'll do something else today we'll get some more things listed today though but we'll see let's go to segue to where everything really gets going eBay. I'm not expecting anything because it's a holiday weekend. We did have two sales, so that's cool. Let's look at feedback. See if we have been on a good role. Fast shipping, good condition. Okay. Defective donor, those are the disc drives. They are for the original Xbox

01 through 05 the Thompson the dreaded Thompson they don't read T G M 600 disc drives so and then the other one was 7 pin power supply arrived quickly looks good so I want I got that quick quickly shipped I'll ship things usually always the same day unless for whatever reason like now we're into holiday weekend so never I can do I can't ship anything on Sundays obviously but now I can't really ship anything Tuesday so we said two orders no no past offers or anything so that's two orders one's a set of screws all the inside screws for the PS1 and I am taking a lower offers because I do have the four dollars flat fee and that's kind of leveled out

people realize and they just have to if they want they'll have to best off me a little bit lower but I'm not going to take that away so I'll do that all the screw sauce is a screw set and then more are still even with after

so discount it's got to be around $13 I have to make three or $4 per order or where am I doing it right well I do it for everyone to help out but I need to it's a lot of work you know just to set ship one certain thing it's you know i got to find it i got put together there's a whole um handling involved so that's what the four dollars i want so let's

go up here i will do some other fun stuff maybe outside today i i did all the let's see my payments are holding strong keeping me in line with being able to pay my car so that's pretty cool so we did a down payment and then I have to actually start the payments in 45 days so so we'll keep doing that so let's see what goes we should be right it's that because again all that extra money I was wasting on promotions it has to go to the car now plain and simple and they'll be fine can't do both it's not possible unless if YouTube were to pay off but I should be it said something about getting a $900 credit for promotions on my eBay but I mean on who

motions but I haven't seen it let's see let's look at that for a second it's a cold Google Promotions. It says claim your something night. Promote, Logging. Get started with Google Ad Results. And then it said something about, it says your ad, your $90 and add

credit wait, sign up terms of reply. But I guess it's only for people. So there's my $900. It says claim now, but then I never get to claim it. It's a real bummer. I would take that $900 and throw it all over the place and really use it. Because right now, get more conversation. There's no way to contact me.

I don't see anywhere where it shows I can start a promotion. It's a real bummer. It's like a tease. It's dangling in front of me. $900 I could use to really jack up my. What we're going to do is just pay this down. So, well, at least I'll get that paid off. Let's pay that today.

Let's see. It's $321, and then that's going to be it. I had $443 in August. that i paid for promotion that's close to the car payment so cannot again so let's just pay this or now pay that off and that's it i got a i have to say i can't do it i'm looking for a place where i can send says hey where where's my $900 still looking around over here right now I'm in Google campaigns and stuff trying to see if I can anywhere where doesn't show where I can send an email to somebody anybody who cares help me out give me a

little bit of promotion it says it when you look when you log out when you log on before you log on it says claim it now start now and then i do that and i just i think it's a bummer all right everyone so that seems what we're doing today we'll not sure what kind of stuff i'm going to get into but uh i only the two orders let's check my orders if i check my orders so i've got two orders this morning. First one is another PS 2 8 bottom screw now, the fats

the front porch. So a lot of those. And then I sold the screws, the whole inner screw set for the PS1. Just some little guys. That's the one order I just had. And that leaves me a little bit more.

You just pay that and then we have to buckle now. so so instead of getting lots of views so what it would happen to do it out without the promotions and my watch hours and views go down but we're gonna see if we can see and then i'll actually start losing subscribers little by little but not a lot we've gone a long way it doesn't matter now if i had if i have 72 000 or if i had 172 it's not really the uh estimated revenue doesn't really reflect it. You could get it's like when I had 30,000, which I thought was a lot at that time. Now I'm at 72,000, which is significantly more, but the revenue doesn't really change.

So it's kind of a bummer. You get really excited about it all, but at the same time you kind of like let down. You just make like $100, $200 a week. That would be fantastic. I'd be jumbled for joy. I thought by now I would be there. there even a hundred dollars a month i would be really excited it's just not it's not possible for what i do i really know i'm kind of out of ideas but not really i just keep putting things up people watch it they don't but it's always something going on with me here so all right everyone so in the podcast we'll probably i'm going to see how that generates any any uh so little income at the end of the month there and if it does then we're going to add definitely

We're going to add a midday podcast each day, which would be taking one system and kind of use my buddy Zippy as my co-host and bring them in. We can talk about a system for an hour. So we'll see if I'm probably planning on going in that direction anyway. I just haven't gotten to it. We're going to stop doing that as well. So you'll see more than one podcast. All right. So you have a nice holiday weekend, wherever you may be.

I'm sure you're at your spot now on vacation and enjoy it and then I will talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
