Good morning everyone. It's early this morning. It is 5 a.m.
I went to bed early last night because I was just tired so we still went to sleep around 4.30 or so.
But I want to get up early this morning because I want to mow the lawn.
It's going to get hot later in the day so we're going to do it early and mow the lawn.
I got some string for my weed whacker so I'm gonna hit the weed
wacker too. We're gonna do it really early this morning so I got up I went to
bed early so I get up early. I need to get my 12 hours to sleep. 14 hours is even
better but we have about 12 hours sleep. So yesterday we worked on some random
things PS2, PS3 controllers. I had a few of them. Most of them didn't work
for whatever reason but I never really connected a PS3 controller. Well the PS2 controller has a
dongle and I have all the dongles with it so those, well a couple of those worked, one didn't
and then the rest of the PS3s I had to figure out how to connect them
I'll use a PS3FAT to test them
and you have to go into the settings to set it up
it's Bluetooth so it has to connect to the Bluetooth
that's how the ps3 controller works
I'm not controller the remote control
We did that that was pretty fun. So I figured that out
And I have one really good one that worked
I'm gonna keep that one all the rest of them putting as a part slot. So those are up for sale
And then what else we do later on I worked on some computer stuff.
I haven't played Death Stranding 2.0 in a few days, but we'll get back to that.
But we're kind of holding off on it a little bit now.
So today we'll do some outdoor work and then we'll do also, I'm working on some computers.
Oh, you know what's coming in today, which
is really exciting. I believe it's coming in today is my VR set. My Meta 3S Xbox edition,
but unfortunately I found out that the 3S means it's not as good as the Meta 3. I thought
3S meant it was better, but it's not. It's kind of a wimpier lenses and so it makes them cheaper.
So I'm kind of bummed about that.
I wish the Xbox would have been out with the Meta 3.
It says PlayStation 6 will probably be powered by AI.
So that's kind of pretty interesting.
PlayStation 6.
Looking forward to it.
It's pretty interesting. PlayStation 6. Looking forward to it. It's pretty exciting.
A couple more years.
And I believe the next Xbox
is called Xbox Prime.
I believe.
I'll see if there's any other news
this morning here.
As we're looking around.
So lots of
uh... Yesterday there so lots of uh...
yesterday there was lots of uh...
court endings yesterday very very interesting stuff yesterday
with court endings
which is simple Death Stranding 2
for fifty hours Death Stranding 2
so someone played it for fifty hours already. Wow.
So yeah.
They're calling Death Stranding 2 the actual first real PS5 game.
Which is pretty cool.
Alright, so let's see anything going on there.
Let's check out my Etsy this morning.
See if we got any action. We had that one order
It's he's been real a real dud for me. It was used to do pretty good
I'm gonna put a sale on
Recent activity
Just favorite stuff we know he's buying
But just keep it there just to have it
although it does cost me a little bit 20 cents per listing so and I should be
hit with that soon
Xbox games canceled nine thousand jobs lost on Xbox box. I thought that was never good. Let's check my Parchmark. Let's see what's going on with Parchmark.
Oh let's see my closet. I have 1,011 followers. I have 327 listings. Of course I haven't sold
anything. I had one offer
That's my first offer my only offer and then that's been it so we can use this as social media in some way hopefully
not sure what but
We try to
Bing things off of everything else
back and forth
Let's see
Let's look at my RSS feed this morning
Let's see, let's look at my RSS feed this morning. It's been pretty quiet.
Haven't had any downloads actually in a couple days.
I was going to do my life in a double shave.
I am going to do it as a podcast.
Take out the video. You can take a video.
I learned how to take a video and turn it into audio.
So we're going to put that one up., I was gonna do it yesterday and I forgot.
Oh, I had some downloads yesterday. I had five downloads. That's pretty exciting. That's a lot for me.
83 all the time, 673 is all time, 83 in the last 30 days. Let's see what we got. Ashburn, I haven't seen them in a while, but they're
always consistent. Columbia, Bogota, Russia, Moscow, Helsinki, pretty cool. Finland and
Barcelona. Let's see all cities. Let's look at all the cities. So in the last four days So those are all ones Brooklyn United States
It's pretty exciting like saying and I get to see the flat map here
Which gives me all the red dots from around the world so that's pretty cool
I actually got more almost around the world than I do in the United States
So my message in a bottle over the Internet Ocean
wherever it may go.
And I try to do, I'm consistently doing my
groundhog day every morning.
All right, so let's look at, oh YouTube.
So YouTube, let's check what happened.
I promoted my project journey, man not project journey man promoted my life
in a double-sheet so we're at forty six thousand nine hundred and seventy three getting close
to forty seven thousand but what I did is I finally got my next payment,
which comes on June 23 of the month.
But you have to have $100.
So I've made my second $100 in change.
I think it's $226 now that I've had total.
I've made since been monetized.
But my monetize wasn't all the way until way
back in October of last year so it took me almost six or six months or so to
get that much every three months I get almost hundred dollars not quite so
let's see we have two minutes 53 seconds for view time my views are 155 watch hours are
585.9
So that's going down and revenues at $30, but I don't know what that $30 is I
Think it was $30 are already made so it's kind of the revenue part. It's kind of confusing to figure out what they mean
Life in a double shave. I have a 2.0
Analysis, let's see where we're at there. So I promoted that's my first promotion
My life in a double shave, so we'll see where that goes
Nothing else I promoted
goes nothing else I promoted I do flash 15 seconds which seems to help in a new way and I do quick three minutes on long videos and then I take the three the one
minute video and I make it into not a short but a regular video so pretty cool
we just mix them up seems everything seems to help can't really afford to
promote I did that one big promotion for my life in a double shave, but that'll be it
For this month
Okay, so
You know life in a double shave Marty, oh yeah, I guess little Marty if you have a stop and shop in your area
There's a little robot thing. It
was really cool when it first came out it seemed so high tech but now it seems really
ancient compared to what the new things that are probably coming out and he just cruises
around stop and shop. But anyway I got a stuffed animal that came into me so pretty cool. So
I took a video of
anything like that if I get something like that I'll take a quick short of it
so that was my Marty I was pretty excited about that I like collecting things like
that all right let's look at eBay eBay's been
kind of quiet we again we're in a new phase here, which means that there's less stuff I'm gonna sell
But I'll get a little bit extra here and there
And I also have
35%
No 30 like 30%
25% discount then I throw another 5%
All right, so we're nice long nice long positive feedback yay from Cameron 2000
three things absolutely love this seller the quality replacement parts are
top-notch bundle items are good value for money I'm a repeat customer and
everything so far has been excellent parents they look good spot on uh... game screws
uh... this uh... nintendo uh... this is all game cube stuff
switch and cable
uh... exactly what i needed just to switch around in great condition
good screws definitely
it gives off the well
care for vibe
sounds pretty cool
arrived and then this one was the, oh the XD sticker.
XD used to look fantastic, it adds a ton of character to the piece, great value for everyone looking to restore their GameCube.
Oh yeah, I remember this guy, this guy, CameronGuy2000, so that's pretty cool.
Some really nice feedback.
So that's awesome.
It really helps me out. I try to do the best I can for every
single order. I haven't really had any but the issues do happen. Alright so we'll just take that offer.
Same guy. Yeah, it's okay.
So I want to put a couple of...
Okay, so we'll do that.
Alright, so I'll accept that. He had 17 before. I was going to do 17. I'll do that.
I got to take, uh, then we have WeeMini.
I'm not going to take that though. Is that the 10 one I just did?
I had $22. I don't know what I'm going to do.
See, see, the thing is I have sales,
and then on top of sales, people want more money off of it.
Which is a real pain in the butt.
Sound like, I already got some discounts.
Oh, that was the disc drive, though.
Yeah, I'll go a little bit over that.
I gotta test the disk drive today.
It's too low.
I'm not gonna go that low. I already got a sale.
So I've already got a sale. I shouldn't have to do more off of the sale.
But when it comes to the buyers, no matter how low I go, they will even want more off.
So if I could do it for free, ship everything, sell everything for free with free shipping,
the buyer would do it.
Buyer has a note here, thank you for including the description of exactly which model.
It says, well, lots of sales do not take time to do that.
I'd definitely be returning custom.
I'm restoring an old console and I figured why not start with the best we gotta be careful because
unfortunately there's lots of metal wear on that I gotta see if I got one that's clean
so we'll have to show him what I have because he's expecting something really
shiny and I'm gonna have a really good shiny one left Not sure why that so I'll have to look so we have three orders
First one is that Sega Genesis working on motherboards via zero VA one
and then the second one is
Just a little purple button for the Sega
just a little purple button for the Sega Saturn's the
Japan the ugly Japan green
has purple buttons that are really cool you can take a three
purple button set and put it on your black one and make sure it looks really cool
look so I sell a three button set but
there but it's gotta be the oval it only works for the oval ones
it has the top cover
power supply on it
But anyway, someone just bought one reset button
And then I also sold a
Cartridge slot for the Sega I mean for the Nintendo Super Nintendo
So there's just three little orders.
But admin that extra $4 per order really helps me out.
So that's cool, so I can sell a couple things.
And then I think I have a couple other things coming in.
I ordered a few items.
I got a, because I like to sip and watch movies now,
although I didn't last night
I have two laptops that I put up for sale. I worked them out cleaned them up
Those are up for sale that I was using for movies and I went and invested in a newer Chromebook
17 inch so bigger screen to watch TV movies and stuff
Chromebook I should be able to run everything through Chromebook. I hope I can so anyway
I ordered that and then of course
We're on the every three months you get a $50 credit on eBay. They actually give you a credit
Which you pretty much give back anyway, but I
Used to get some boxes 10 by 8 by 6 boxes I
Normally get eBay tape, but I still have a lot left so I decided to invest
This and then the next time I can do this again is in September and in September. I'll get more
Because I go through lots of eBay tape for packing
And so we've got those boxes coming in I have the ace of Chromebook it says it's new
It's got actually got a Pentium in it of some kind so Chromebook it says it's new it's got
actually got a Pentium in it of some kind so Chromebook is supposed to be a
gigabyte we'll see so let's see what that is so we'll set that up when it gets here
Middletown Pennsylvania so I went from New Jersey to Pennsylvania
not sure why but you never know't know where things are gonna go.
I think people just like me, everyone just uses Ground Advantage.
Nobody uses Priority anymore. Then I also ordered a wall charger for my Gameboy Advance.
So that's not quite here
i have a gameboy advance and i have an adapter to gamecube and i'm trying to figure out how you use that adapter
so that'll be coming in
i ordered a couple ram sticks for a dell
optiplex 3040 that i got in
to make it to 16 gigabytes of RAM which is the max for it
we're probably gonna sell that one and then Toshiba laptop satellite pro 440
CDX let's see what that is it's still stuck in California so
FedEx I don't use FedEx if I need something being a bulky to ship I use
UPS not FedEx all right so that's my orders for the morning I made a couple
bucks oh and then also like I said my which we'll call it's coming in which I'm excited about on meta according to best buy let's look at this part from it so I got it from I
didn't have to I didn't buy it eBay eBay prices I could technically probably
flip maybe sell it for eBay prices but I didn't want to do that. We're gonna open it up.
I'm gonna try to use it.
I could have picked one up but I didn't feel like doing that.
Order status.
Let's see.
I'll see where my order is.
It keeps doing that.
Yeah that's the same.
It says in transit arrives today UPS the UPS comes late usually
Here and we're not my address here in westerly
So I may not see that so tonight, so we'll feature it tomorrow
We'll go through it
the next thing on my thing of thinking about when I'm positive yeah is the
Rogue Ali Xbox.
Cause I want to get anything that's newer Xbox instead of going, but it's still not
like an original console.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
And of course I'm holding off on Switch 2 till next year.
Or late this, even I probably wouldn't be able to find one.
I'm certainly not paying eBay prices those days are over
because remember when the first original PS5 came out
I bought it at eBay prices because I couldn't find one and also Xbox too
I bought those at eBay prices way back then when they first came out
I'm not a big fan of Switch I I'm not really a big fan of Switch, I'm not really a big
fan of Switch, I have all the Switch games on the back of Sarah, I just need a better
computer to run it on.
Including tears, because Zelda would really be the only thing, a little bit of Mario here
and there, but that's about it.
Alright, so that's what I get this morning here at Five so almost a half about 20 minutes. It's usually my
yesterday, I think my
Podcast was very short because a my dog came in and interrupted so that I had to stop
And I have to combine two
audios together to make it
And I really have anything going on.
Everything's been pretty quiet, pretty smooth, nothing dramatic going on which is wonderful.
It's the way I like it.
So we'll keep plugging away as I do every day.
We're going to go outside.
I'll do a couple of videos, mow the lawn a little bit.
I throw a strap around my shoulders that holds my phone and then I can mow the lawn while videoing
I got those a while ago, they're pretty awesome
So I can do some live action stuff. I can do my trees too, so not today, maybe tomorrow
We'll get up early again and we'll do, because we want to do things early in the morning here
Because now it's really hot during the day so
in here because now it's really hot during the day so and I have electric reobe mower and also weed wacker so it's pretty quiet I can do all that early
without really bugging anybody with a gas I could imagine having a gas
someday I'll have an electric car and then I'll be like oh I can't remember when I had a
gas car but right now I have all electric lawn stuff.
So I could imagine going back to having a gas mower or a gas weed worker.
Freak that.
It's so much easier with electric in there.
They're more powerful actually.
So pretty cool. Pretty awesome.
Alright so you guys have a good morning.
And I will talk to you tomorrow.
Alright, bye.
