Unlock the Secrets Now in my Overnight Project Journey Man Series

Good morning everyone. It is now 5 56 Today is April 3rd Thursday 2025 oh Yesterday was a little bit nice not too bad. So I got a little bit done outside I needed to do not much just spent maybe like an hour outside Those still a little chilly again. We're still Well still a little chilly again, we're still Early into spring so we can't expect anything, but I kind of like it that way. I'm not looking forward to the

Really really hot hot weather. I'm like some of it, but it's that that nighttime sleeping in the hot weather Yesterday I looked at a couple things. Oh, I was What did I take apart oh I started working on my PS Vita I got the boards in place, but then I then I never went back to it Sat with my dogs for a while. Oh, I got my rabbit cage yesterday. That was my big thing I got it for my birthday. They're really big. It was a lot bigger than I expected But it's really cool because I took my other I have Originally had two guinea pigs But my brownie and my what I call them spot brownie passed away a couple months ago

Really bummed out about that because each one both of those I had for at least Three or four years there their life spans a little bit longer than a hamster. Hamster maybe a year or two and then usually something happens to them. So I still I went through a lot of hamsters. There's really nothing else you can really do to them. You just get them comfortable when they pass away. But so my brownie passed away and I wasn't getting another hamster. I mean another guinea pig I decided I was just gonna let my buddy spot live out his life and then maybe I get no one later but I was at the

pet store pet sense that smart rather and It was a sign for my buddy we call him a treasure now And it said to please rescue me for free so I did took him home he's been really fun it was in a smaller cage that I only think I had for now but yesterday I went to venture for a bigger cage and it's huge now so now he's I call it a double wide. So he's got a double wide, uh, guinea pig, uh, We have one little place I can put it so it's it's not too bad So then I finally put spot

In with him And they always jump on each other just something they do So I let him go in there for a little while with with the other ones so like he could run around Uh, okay, I don't think I could leave them together Uh, because they're my new one's really aggressive so like he could run around. I don't think I could leave them together, because they're, my new one's really aggressive, but my other one, Spot, used to be really aggressive to Brownie, so he's kind of mixed up.

But it was fun. They just let him get in there for a little bit. I'll take some videos when they get used to each other a little bit more. So I put him in for about a half hour, and then I took Spot out, because he's older now, so I don't wanna do anything to hurt him. So we just get him in for about a half hour and then I took Spot out because he's older now so I don't want to do anything to hurt him. So we just get him in there just so he can get some exercise, see his new little buddy and they kind of just go at each other for a little bit but not in a bad way, just kind

of jump on each other. It's kind of funny. Kind of funny but they're usually pretty good about it. And then after that they just kind of calmed down a little bit. So that's where we're at. So we got a nice runner cage now. And then I'll swap out, I'll put Spot in that cage for a while by himself so he can have a run, a run around, put my other buddy, Treasure, into the smaller cage.

Just kind of mix it up and then I can put them together for just a little while here and there. Yesterday, last night was my second night of project Journeyman. See how that came out. The first night I had some sort of a technical issue and it shut down really early. I think last night it might have went through the whole night. Something new we're doing. Little by little we'll come up with some fun ideas for that. It's something different.

Again, I'm always trying to come up with some new ideas for my YouTube page. And I had those 12 hours that I decided I wanted to use them. So that's what we're doing. Pretty fun. So we'll check it out. See how it's going. Just a cool little idea with some a little bit of story to it and we'll keep it going

nightly. All right, let's just check the news. Let's see Earthquake. Baseball's on now. Not really a big fan of baseball. I liked it when the Red Sox were winning in those years there. First World Series and all that. That was pretty cool.

Let's see if I see anything else in the news that's catching my attention Lots of games coming out to clear state of emergency in us to protect economy He's really doing a lot. So we'll see lots of government stuff going on. Hopefully it'll all come up come come our eyes here It's definitely a new approach, but I think we need is a new approach. So I'm all in for whatever Or I want wherever it may go so All right, so let's go to Etsy had a couple orders yesterday nothing special two orders overnight Let's see. It was like I have a message Can you also send a Holland? So I got someone asking if I'm international.

Let's see, message. Could you send to Holland? So I'm not here on Etsy, but my main store on eBay understand the extra shipping costs. Extra international shipping costs. International. Inter, inter, international. Shipping charges are made by eBay and can be pricey. I have no way at all of changing that.

Meaning that the price of the shipping charge could be more than... He would look for a set of screws. So, not here on Etsy, he wants this shipped, but on my main store on eBay. I understand the extra internet shipping is made by eBay, it can be pricey. I have no way at all of changing that. So, therefore you're not going to get a free $13, $13 shipped to Holland. You're not going to get a free $13 shipped to Holland. It's not possible. It's another world.

Alright, going to one ship and going to another world. Pretty much. I had a couple orders though. Let's see. I got a few dollars. I sold mostly sets of screws. This is my main thing right now. Alright, so let's go to my RSS feed. I think I had some downloads yesterday.

That was pretty fun. This.com So. RSS feed I think I had some download yesterday that was pretty fun. So let's check that out. This is also a subscription of course RSS.com it's not that expensive. It's probably about as much as it would cost you to get a channel, streaming channel. I had one download and obviously it's another one of those things where it hasn't really paid off in any way. But I really like to do it. I think it just kind of puts out my, I have a main page here on it.

So and it gets around the world and I can see see where like Japan I Have some play from Tokyo. So Germany Spain, so that's cool. So that's why I do it It's it's and I'm up first thing in the morning and this is my routine every morning Therefore that's why it's called Groundhog Day so So Therefore that's why it's called Groundhog Day. So... So... Um... That's why I do it. But it's fun.

And I can kinda talk about what's going on as I'm getting prepared for my day. And of course you can always go to my YouTube channel. See what's going on. I'm always doing stuff. Having some stuff in here, but today I'm gonna get some stuff done. I'm going on to finish my PSS Vita and we'll see what eBay's got for me lined up. And then I have two orders, but those were really quick orders already overnight. Well, not overnight, but before I went to bed, there was two orders. Oh and I hit 30,000 on my subscribers on my YouTube which is awesome. Let's see where 30,107 subscribers and of course like I said by Monday 2 on my project Journeyman still working on it. It's a new overnight thing. I didn't really have any views or anything,

but it's fine. It's just so I can see. I had 133 views, 3-3. And I'm going to keep working on building on the idea I have. I haven't quite. So I did that for 11 hours and 55 minutes so that's pretty cool really didn't really have the other views but I want to see how it's coming out I don't think the lighting is good enough I still have to work on lighting but we'll we'll get there I put the I have a story each night with it so it goes with the story and it's gonna be fun it's time that I'm doing it using doing anyway I sleep for 12 hours you know my night sleep time so therefore we're gonna try to put a story behind it actually has a story behind it anyway so it's kind of so we'll keep working on that

it's got smaller now so every night I'll have it I'll have a little quick story and then when I do it I'm working on finding a way to put the story on. It's just a short. I re-record it and then I play it over again. I have, I sleep with a sound machine. I always have. So it's got some sound machine and then I added some lighting. I have another sound machine that's got some lighting to it.

Different colors. So I added that effect to it. And then you can just kinda, trying to see if I can I sleep crazy so and I take some medication that help you sleep better and Therefore they get really wild crazy dreams. So I want to bring that into anybody that

Wants to check it out. Maybe I'll do some crazy stuff in the middle of the night. I don't know. I'm trying to log it. That's what I'm doing. All right, so we're going to film an innovation on that one. And I started a new playlist called a project journey, man. So it's right there.

This is gonna be my first one. My second. Yesterday yesterday the first night Some reason it it clicked off in ten minutes but tonight So I'm gonna do I want to add I want to add something to open Day final one I gotta put the story for the first night. There we go Let's put the story in the first one so I decided to See click the first night I lost it because I missed it somebody's gonna stop the 10 10

10 minutes and 20 seconds 26 seconds, but I added that to the story for day two Because that's what happened. I just did just went off I didn't but I set up my camera different and of course I'm doing it with my phone And yeah, I have to leave the phone plugged in all night while it's Doing its thing so we're gonna save that project journeyman so that's my first story and then I want to add this nice I want to add the sound to it. I don't know how to do that. Lots of things I've never done on YouTube yet.

But on this one, I'm going to learn how to add a sound. A soundtrack. I don't know how to do that yet. So then I can maybe re-post them with the sound on there. That's what I'm thinking the day after. We'll see. It's just gonna be fun. Again, it's it's hours that I want to incorporate into something for YouTube. And like I said, something freaky might happen while you're watching it. That's the whole point. Something freaky might happen. Why are you watching it?

That's the whole point. Because I dream crazy so maybe there's... So now, yeah, so I'm at 30,107 subscribers. Of course my revenue hasn't changed. $32.18. I do all this and it has no bearing on revenue. Maybe someday. Oh, and I finally just got my...

Oh my goodness. I got my Bill from all my promotions, I guess it was two months 270 bucks But that's what got me to really got me to the 30,000 so I got hit hard like whoa. I didn't realize I promoted that much. But it wasn't just in one month. I guess I had I caught up from the month before February, March. I did $270 worth of promotions. But hey, it got me to 30,000 subscribers and that's fun. So I kind of paid my way up the ladder here.

But let's see. Can I keep trying to mix it up as best I can with some new ideas. Alright so that's my YouTube so we had some fun with that. I'm gonna go back and learn how to repost. I think I know how to do that. And then we'll do also We'll do All gonna add my soundtrack because I do one recording with my overnight project journeyman So we'll ask if I can add those to the live feeds already done

All right, so let's see we got from messages Live feed's already done. All right, so let's see what we got for messages. Sega to open to return if it's not what you needed. Oh God, no, no. Oh God. Thank you for the reply. I hate returns, so I will not resell it And I would want any buyer to do I just tell them that a little profile To

Just to do for me. I just wanted you to know. Okay, let's see if I can find that video and we'll throw it in there to show I've been to this of course. I think it's right here. Yeah Pentium 2 Pentium 3 Right here I'm gonna give them a link although eBay is a pain and a lot of times it won't let me run the link Let's see if we can Say you get all kinds of commercials on my Oh, Jacob. It was bombed. It does not fit in. Okay. Let's see if you get there.

Thank you for your, for the reply, I hate. So I won't do that. I will just resell it as. Alright, so then we had a $15 offer. Let's see what this is. Oh, it's another one of those. Yeah, I guess we'll just do that. Get that out of there.

So now that I've sold lots of Sega Genesis, oh no, maybe I don't have an offer. Sometimes I have an offer and then the offer's gone. Let's see what feedback. I managed to sell this, shipped the other piece for the guy that had a bad message that was kind of offensive. And I made a video about it, about the Nintendo GameCube heatsinks. So I sent him the piece that I must have missed everything exactly described in well packed very well extremely fast shipping so he this guy got all his extenders Sega CD senders base extenders and all that mostly got

it like one day Microsoft X 1439 the heat sink fan clamp, good condition so that's cool, great. One of my things came in shipped for the Tandy 1000 EX disk drive. So everything's looking pretty good, cool. I have a couple orders. I ordered a few things. I got a cable coming from Germany. So we're talking about international shipping. So I have a cable from Germany coming in. and it's for my Sinclair ZX Spectrum 2.8 plus and 3.8 plus,

or 3. plus. So it's a cable I need, so it goes to SCRAT, and then you put SCRAT to HDMI, so that won't be a while. And then just a couple of little things, packing tape from eBay. Because eBay, every three months, they give you a $50 credit Although and that goes to goes towards packing tape, but it's gotten really expensive now So I have to use that credit plus more to get tape, but you have to have eBay tape

All right, so let's see How cool so that I just bought it and... I sold another keyboard. Yay. I sold Jasper motherboard. I could do that. I have more, though, I found some more. Keyboard is the exact Tandy 1000 EX. Everyone loves the keyboards.

So I've been selling a lot of vintage computers parts and they really they really sell because I'm always looking I'm still looking for a power supply for from a 51 50 55 so we had some pretty good say one two three four things pretty Pretty cool. So we'll get those out. Lots of bills, of course, and everything's getting so high. And of course I have to raise my prices

and people don't wanna pay the $13, that's my minimum. They wanna give me offers of $3, of $5. And that's just not happening. I can only do what I gotta make a few bucks per order so if I can sell some once in a while I sell something for maybe like 50 bucks or something or even a $20 sales then then I can rack those up pretty quick to help pay stuff because for me I'm not a money guy at all I've no really no need for money just need to pay the bills keep a roof over my head and then buy some fun little stuff here and there to play around with and and then I share that on YouTube so it's all like one big full

circle pretty much and that's the way I'll pretty much always be I don't need I'd like to be ahead though. I live like day by day By every like sale by sale pretty much my bank account was usually you know $50 there once in a while it gets close to being overdrawn. I've never had any balance of money or anything like that Cuz I'm just kind of reinvesting it into this my eBay and and I would like to get some more gaming stuff But I just it's way a lot of my reach now And I had to put up a whole bunch of money to get a whole bunch, but at some point. I'm gonna try to But right now I'm still in a debt consolidation

Because in order to get to where I'm at I needed to upfront a lot of money So I had to go into debt consolidation. But I've already got two and a half years into that and everything's been settled. So now I'm on the tail end of it. I'm just paying the bill per month, which is a lot. But it was like a quarter of what I would have had to pay. And I would never, and there's no interest or anything.

You're just paying that bill off. So it's the way to go really. I use National Debt Consolidation and it worked out awesome. It's real expensive to do. Well it's not really expensive but it's just your debt you got to pay it as opposed to going bankrupt which I didn't want to do. I can afford to pay the bill off and I got another year and a half or so and then it will be debt free and I won't need to do it because then my business between this and my YouTube should be really going well by then.

So I won't need to redo that again now I'm just buying little stuff because I've learned I've gotten all the stuff from around the world to learn about all the computer systems that's where all the money I spent was on that I've since sold pretty much all of them but it was just to learn about it I could say I had it and someone says hey what's a JVC XI I know exactly what it is what it's about and I even have videos of me playing around with it and the same with lots of other systems that I got. Omstrad GX 4000, another good example. Things like that. So, Amiga 500, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

Amiga CD32, there's another really cool, that one's really expensive. I had the whole system and I still got lots of games and stuff left over. And then the really fun high-end Sega stuff. CDX, Sega CDX, Sega Nomad. Which plays, it's a handheld that plays the regular cartridges. So all that kind of stuff I spent. And then I also went out and bought computer systems from around the world. I got my Amstrad's and my

Sinclair and stuff like that. And anytime you buy anything overseas, of course you're paying the extra shipping cost. So that's where I'm at. And so we'll go on to today. I got some orders to do and I'm gonna finish my Vita, put it back together. I just gotta connect the cables and stuff. The replacement for the

parts was pretty easy peasy so we're going to Put it back together, and then I'm going to learn This week, maybe out of a homebrew and all that fun stuff myself All right, so you guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow. Check out my videos. I have an overnight project journeyman as well.

You can check it out. I'll talk to you guys later. Alright, bye.
