Good morning everyone it is extra early this morning is now
322 a.m
My slice up good, but I just got up early and
I could try to go back to sleep with once you get your brain start running then you're like
Back to sleeps I can always do stuff. I got lots of fun things I can do
Go back to sleeps. I can always do stuff. I got lots of fun things I can do
So we're up and that's it. I'll probably I don't take naps or anything like that. I've done that a very long time
On them up. I'll stay up next couple days here in Rhode Island. We have major rain
Flooding rain So yesterday I spent most of the day out in my bottom room cleaning it
out and it's part of the overall project in the backyard getting a mass recycle
together everything I've been trying to work on and also trying to set up an
outdoor studio to do some work outside and do some videos and stuff outside
but we haven't got quite cleaned up enough yet
We're getting there though. I got a lot done yesterday
And I had done my shed the other day other morning
And that was a big load of
All boxes and all kinds of stuff
I got rid of so I made a lot of space in there so that I could take stuff from the bottom of the other
Place and move it over so we did that So it took me about two or three hours I was out there. And we also did some videos.
Oh and I found some rebalance boards. And I, they had battery compartments still in them. So I did a nice video on how to pull the battery
compartments out and then take the pins out of the battery compartments and soak them and they can probably just clean the contacts on them
you may not get all the corrosion off and then you take the spring off of the
pin because it's two separate things you want to get them both off especially if
it's been pretty corroded soak them which I did overnight and they look
pretty good so I'll save a couple of them I'll list a couple today
well so soak a little bit so this early in the morning we'll see what's going on So I'll save a couple of them. I'll list a couple today well
So a little bit so this early in the morning. We'll see what's going on
on my
Ebay and everything we're getting close to
40,000 subscribers
My tick among my YouTube
But again, I've been promoting all along so it's actually like paid subscribers really
But it's just a way to get them and I went from I think I had 1800 three or four months ago
To 40,000 so it works. I mean I'm not promoting a lot, but probably about a hundred and 200 bucks a month
From promotions in the last four or five months. No about two or three months. So
But it doesn't really has significantly hasn't helped me out anything other than getting more subscribers, but I
Can only go up right? That's why I look at it
All right, so let's um see what's going on here this early in the morning
for news.
So yeah, so I went to still want to sleep.
I watched a little bit of movie.
I wasn't really a fan of it.
I shut it off, smiled too, too violent.
And then if I subnautical too, I try not to do you watch any more violent movies if I
can because I have terrible dreams and stuff.
So which I did last this morning. That's why I got up. anymore violent movies if I can because I have terrible dreams and stuff so
which I did last this morning that's why I got up some nautical subnautica I
always didn't want to say subnautical but it's the modica to all the key
details of I have craft looks pretty awesome it looks like it's third person
which would be so much better for me and I want to get the revenge of the I can't think of
salvage planet that looks really cool but it's 50 bucks oh I saw the thing
yesterday the today show was that the new universal or the epic universe I
would love to go if I could I'm a huge fan of like Disney World and all that of
course you know me I'm just a kid at heart, but I just at the end of the day. I was watching a little some of it
It's a hundred and thirty dollars
for a ticket to get in
139 I think for an adult and 134 for a kid
Just for one day, but it looks real awesome
So they're gonna make us think I know you they gotta pay the bills
Through four epic worlds
Between that and Disney world. I don't know what Disney world is anymore a big Disney world fan. I'd love to go
Maybe in my lifetime. I'll try to go get to go one more time
3d printing a micro laser sensors offer supercharged biosensing. I
Got my 3d printers. I haven't done anything with
Just something I don't think I'm gonna get
We'll see
All right, so let's go to see what's going on early morning. It was really quiet an ebay essay, which was good and bad
Yeah, I could always use the sales but
Because it was that slow
I got that outdoor project
Walks kind of indoor but still part of that home a mass thing outside. I got I got a lot of that done yesterday. So
Obviously if I have orders I'll concentrate on those.
So today I'm going to do some listing, some stuff.
Let's see what my RSS feed.
I was gonna do a later podcast yesterday,
but then I ended up doing the Wii balance boards instead
as a video.
And usually I'll use TikTok as a live feed for a little while I
Can't seem to get keep it on it doesn't seem to stay on
So let's see if we had any download just today. We had three downloads yesterday pretty awesome
15 the last 30 days, so it's about average for me. I take them
Looks like Sydney, Australia. Oh welcome Sydney pretty cool. I love it when it goes way out there
It's pretty awesome the message in a bottle over the internet ocean
Which is always cool
Manila Manila is always around. I appreciate them coming around
I try to do a good podcast every morning and again. I will start doing some other ones
midday sometime
Let's do one yesterday, but then I went for the other direction
And then we have some in Germany
Moscow pretty cool
So so we had a few last yesterday
All right, so let's go to YouTube. Let's see if we hit that mark
Which was 40,000?
Probably not quite yet, but we'll see oh
And then I had another accomplishment
1,500 views so that's pretty awesome
If I say if I could just get a penny for each one of them views and I did make it. I'm at 40,000 and
22 subscribers
So and my revenue picked up a dollar
$20.52
My we balance board and 154 views
Which is only because I promoted five bucks I don't if I promote five bucks I can get in the a couple hundred views if I don't I
Know I only get a few views
Maybe I get ten views
So subscribers again, it just are mostly just they come
As part of the promotion day and they subscribe and then they you don't really see him again
So but it's still fun to say I got 40,000 subscribers and again 1 million 500 views now
But as we say it doesn't amount to anything yeah if I could get one penny for every every of you that would be awesome a
Dollar would be really awesome even better. So I'm subscribing to all new ones that I can see here
Which I always do I'll go through but most of them are hidden so I can only
resubscribe just subscribe to anybody that I
see on my
recent subscriber section on YouTube page here. Alright, so no comments though.
Likes that I got a few views for that.
So, but now I'm gonna have to take a break from promoting.
That was the last one I could do.
Because I'm pretty sure I'm probably a couple hundred bucks into
this month
and of course as we said I only made $20
so I keep going the opposite way
but we keep trying though
I haven't given up
I'll never give up I'll always keep doing it
I'm still excited about how far I've gotten
with this
and I've learned a lot
and hopefully I help people out
here and there that's for the whole point of it it's not like I'm doing
YouTube pages to talk about YouTube like most of the people with the big numbers
are I actually in creating things I think for people to to learn about as
opposed to just talking about YouTube and how you're not getting
anywhere although I am going to get to a one-on-one and might do it today
actually I was thinking about doing a one-on-one I wake up a hair a little bit
more I'm gonna brush my teeth and all and go get a really early morning coffee
that's what I'm gonna do ice coffee of course Colts saw
the Colts on a diet 65 while he was young and that's why you never know your
time is your time so each time try to make the best of it
all right let's see what's ebase going on here. I've been running some sales. Oh cool.
I see some action here. Let's see what we got going on. Let's see what we got going
on here. Couple sales, couple feedback. Okay cool. So we're back on the positive feedback note
Pretty awesome hundred percent as described works on the test bench using
retrovision cables and
a handful of good known games clean VA one board
cool awesome parts
awesome sell-up parts helped restore my an ice blue
Fantastic and 64 in my collection many. Thanks. That's all I ask it. It's all about is good positive
Perfect thank you
Commodore 64 oh
I did get a PlayStation 4 I
Have tons of PlayStation 4s at work, but I ran out of a power adapter. I sold them all.
So, if I need a part, I will go after a whole system
that's a part that I can pretty sure that the part works.
And then I'll up front and then of course I'll take the part I need and then I'll resell the rest.
And I'll easily make my money back because This place they she sold for really cheap. I think I got a 40 bucks shipped
Incomplete with the top covers and everything so I'm pretty excited about it
although I just realized something but it's different than what I thought it was but I
Just I must just I just noticed what which one it was but alright either way
it's not really what I wanted but we got it anyway alright so let's see what's
going on let's go to a couple orders to help me out
so we'll do...
Alright so we'll do an early morning withdrawal.
I don't have much right now but we sold a couple other things so that's cool.
So let's see what we got for offers.
Kind of need to
take some offers here this morning yeah so we got a Coleco vision return I don't
talk about that 24 Coleco vision I need to just take some offers this morning so we'll have to do this clickovision buttons let's see what
else is here oh also I just found you to tune by accident I see you get a lot of low firmware. I is the whole number I am looking for. boot screens
screens but not
this is talking about the Xbox 360
says he found my...
We'll see. Do you have any 500-john variance of this in stock?
So yeah, most also says to your first question
says most are 348 most are around 340 After wiped after formatted
Some are
240 it's megabytes.
Megabytes.
None are ever true.
512k megabytes.
He's asking about the onboard firmware on the Xbox 360 Jasper, which is usually around
Legend of Zelda $32.
So I need to take some stuff here.
Well, I'll take that.
Yay. That is a Legend of Zelda pin collection
Yeah, I take that I'm gonna take some stuff here this morning
Because there's always um, I'm living on the edge say living on the edge here of
What I make on eBay and what my bills are
So we'll have to take that one.
Oh, it's 13 Wii U Japan.
Yeah, I guess we'll take those two.
It'll give me a little bit.
So a couple more battery compartments with screws.
We'll take that. And we'll take that and we'll take
the other thing I'm just gonna have to take some stuff that's a bigger office
that I didn't take kind of wish I would have now but there was it's lower than I
wanted but I guess at some point I'll just have to be like I do that lots
of times if I'm doing all right then I don't have to take these really low offers
But other times I kind of do
It's at this morning is one of those I kind of need to take any any off I can get
Still I don't know I'd make a lot of the deal but a few bucks after shipping at all
But you gotta do what you gotta do
Alright, so we'll take a few of those little offers here and that'll take up my thing a little bit
yeah so at one time I had the complete set of Zelda tears of the kingdom real
fan of fan of the game I really never played a lot of it a little bit of it I
liked it I have it on my back of Sarah, which is a Computer program that has all a whole bunch of switch games on it with something like that. I could easily sell but
It runs a little bit slow
Even with the i9 computer I have it still runs a little slow but
I had the whole collection it had all of it it when I first came out I bought all of it
I sold it all but I broke that collection set up and sold pieces off of it that way
So
No
I'm going to
Always so I sold all the pieces and all left all I had left is the pin the collector pin
which I just sold which is awesome, and I also have the
Something else I have part of it left over
So yeah, so that'll help me out. It gives me a little bit of boost
So let's see what we sold here
Exact empty shell with the buttons number three
Sega dream Sega Genesis I
Have a couple of those left. I got actual ones. I sold another heat sink set
which is the
Number three set it's not the one with the I'm gonna put more of those up because I I open what I did find though is I found
seven or nine more audio video Xbox 360 only so good and bad we're gonna test
those today actually but I can't get to them till later
We're gonna bring all seven of them nine of them in we'll put them on the board on my desk here
We'll test them. They never work
ever
But they have the best heat sink set most of the time inside of them
So we're gonna test them. I'm gonna spend a few hours on those. We're going to test them and we're going to do all kinds of stuff. I wonder why that is that
one. I have to figure out why I have that set. That's a different set. It's actually two heat sinks. I gotta take that set down.
I messed up on that one.
Oh, yeah, so that's two heat sinks in one set.
Somehow I did that and I can't remember why.
See, I look at my sale, what I sell, and everybody else is the same.
I'm pretty much cheaper. I believe these are two GPU
Might figure that out
That's not the reds not definitely not correct
And that has to come down. I mean I can leave it up, but I gotta put I gotta take that down
Because it's it's the overhang GPU CPU and then there's a CPU so somebody replied to me at 3 for the 43 in the
morning that's crazy people don't sleep I'm normally don't so too so this is a
guy about the firmware I decided to reply I always reply to all messages as soon as I get up even here at 3 43 in the morning
Don't even didn't expect the guy to reply back, but people are crazy with their gaming stuff
So his reply is two point oh point
Seven three seven one
Point zero or below is what I'm after
Yeah, I mean I meant there 340 ones
The NAD is one to a robot. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so
so I
Just found I also found some more more
Jasper's I just found, I also found some more, more jaspers, but not sure which are true or not. meaning small caps and 340 megabytes.
As for firmware, I will start looking. I would assume
old
boot screen means
old firmware
I just found more jaspers but not sure which are true or not
meaning small caps and as for
not true
are tall caps maybe 240 megabytes but most know onboard megabytes
so I'm in conversation here at 3.30 in the morning I just found more Jaspers
that's the last Jaspers had the last
version of the Xbox 360
and those were obviously the best ones less power less everything
so meaning so I told them that I just found seven more.
So while I was cleaning, I found them actually two more bins in my shed for that big clean out I did a few days ago.
That was a massive clean out it took me.
And then I did, I had to take everything and bring it to the dump while it was a lot of work.
But it's all done now.
Just so I told them I found more jaspers, but I'm not sure if they're true or not
So I'm saying true jaspers have the shorter caps in them and the 340 megabytes which starts out at 2, 512
Not true are the tall caps and maybe 240 but most have no onboard motherboard
Megabytes as a firmware. I will start looking he gave me a mark to look
for so we'll check the firmware haven't I wasn't doing that at all until right
now so we somebody out there that wants something specific and I'm sure and you that from where now I want to know why. Of course you always want to know why.
From our version Y. Now I want to know why. Because now I can, I'll have a benchmark and I can, it
helps me sell better. So in the future if I'm finding Jasper I'll say this is version I'll put it in part of my video for each one and
if I find specific ones I can obviously charge a little bit more because it's a
sought-after version but not much more we'll see all right so we got a little
conversation here this morning so once I'm, there's always stuff to do. I'm not really tired
I mean I am but it's no way I could go back to sleep
But there's always a way to do stuff to stay awake. All right
I can't go the opposite man. I could I usually take when I go to bed
I take a remeron to sleep and I technically could take another one and now and then sleep again till early morning
But I don't want to do that. I'm just gonna stay up
I'm gonna go brush my teeth do all that good stuff. I won't really do anything one little buddies yet
finish printing on my orders and
Then we will
We'll do
and then we will do, we'll get a coffee.
And then when I come back, we'll be around five o'clock.
So we'll do that for a while.
Actually, I'm at the point, I'm almost thinking about going back to sleep,
but I really can't.
Let's see.
I mean, I can, but I hate to just go back, try to go back to bed and I really can't see I mean I can but I hate to just go back try
to go back to bed and then you had just thinks of all the things I want to do
again I could fire up my desktop here my gaming workbench and we can make videos
all morning pretty much so we'll see see what we're at so we got a couple orders
it's cool I'll get another message from this guy let's do a lot we'll see. We'll see where we're at. So we've got a couple orders, that's cool. We've got another message from this guy.
Let's do a message live.
Also 150 watt.
Yeah, so, yes sir, I've seen one of your past videos and when you did test test it looked
like what might have been one I'm looking for.
Also there's Jasper's and Tonka set off the dollies
Jasper is the genus GPU and most came with the 16 megabyte
tall caps
But still at 51 watt the Tonka set is the updated Jasper
set is the update Jasper. Oh okay, awesome. Now I learned something new. Okay so Jasper Jasper is the other Tonka set is a new word for me. it always. Now thank you for the info at 3
51 am. I am up doing my orders and messages. Why are you replying now?
Tonka Set. So we learned something new today. So we'll definitely... So we're going to put that as Tonka Set.
You're seeing Jasper is the Zeus GPU.
It most came with 16 megabytes.
256 nan, the tall caps still was still at 150 watt the Tonka says update Jasper board
and small caps 512 megabytes
16 megabyte nons
With the chronos GPG GPU. So that's difference as a chronos
GPU so that's difference as a chronos
Actually some jazz was came with small caps and I believe as well, but the late model ones
Yeah, so okay also 150 watt
Something new this morning Jasper is one. Okay
Cool. So I guess a good reason to be up early in the morning to learn
Still it's one of the systems and one of the last systems Systems I don't know every single detail about I know pretty much everything
But not really and I just learned a huge thing that I didn't know I know that
There was a difference between the tall cap. I was calling it the true Jasper
But actually the Jasper is the one
Before with the tall caps and now he's saying
talk I said that's pretty awesome I love learning new stuff especially at 3 3 in the morning I open my shop as soon as I wake every day. I am doing a podcast it's understood he says he's night owl. I opened my shop so let's see this guy's from Is a night owl
Who's this?
Biohazard dreams
Not really sure where he's from let's see if we can find out where he's from
Because i'll tell you what time it is doesn't say just says location of Rhode Island
So not really sure what part of our of the united states he is is so if it's three o'clock here
Well, it's four o'clock now. So if he's on the mid most likely he's probably on the west coast
So it's really you know one o'clock in the morning
So that would make sense you could be a night owl on the opposite. I go to bed at 430
Well, I've been staying up watching movies now a little bit
So I go to bed around five or so because it's getting too hot to sleep and of course I was doing my project
Journeyman every night but then I got too hot but we'll go back to that in the
fall but for now I decided to watch a couple movies here and there. Alright so
we got my orders done, got some got some messages We'll leave it at that
We're on for about a half hour
And so this is a super early morning
longer podcast
Have a little fun learned a few things this morning about some gaming stuff. I didn't know anything about
There's a detail I knew there was a difference
But now I know it's called the Tonka set so we'll leave it at that
I'll make that note in my brain and I'll put it on my little podcast the Tonka set and
And then we'll go from there. Alright, so I'll see you guys tomorrow morning
I will hope I won't be up this early again, but but today we did
We got a lot of rain and crappy weather the next day or so
So but again, I can't nap so I'll just have stuff to do all day. We got a lot of rain and crappy weather the next day or so.
But again, I can't nap, so I'll just have stuff to do all day.
Just be a little bit tired.
All right, so I'll talk to you guys later.
All right, bye.
