TGAM Brainwave Brain Wave Sensor EEG Sensor 3rd Generation Version | eBayI Took My Switch 2 Along to Play While Waiting in Line at Johnny Cake Center Vegetable StandThe Hard Work and Dedication Goes Rewarded by all for Johnny Cake Center Vegetable Stand

Good morning everyone. It's early. It's 5 a.m. So I'm just starting to my second night of Project Journeyman. No, actually my third night. So I went right to bed the last few nights, so I've been getting up a little bit earlier. So I put, what do we do? Oh, we changed the, I had a frog, cool frog face mask, although it really pushes on my eyes because it's not flat and wide like my other ones. But we had that one on throw away. while so fix the lighting a little bit better so it's pretty cool I did get my projector out just a small little mini projector and also my raspberry pie five I didn't get time yesterday because yesterday would we do yesterday well oh yeah I take my mother to an appointment I guess there's a blood test for seniors to check for colon cancer therefore that way they don't have to go through the colonoscopy so I had to go take her over there to do that and then earlier I was busy doing some other stuff I can't think of a right a second but I did pull out the Raspberry Pi 5 so I didn't get time to

stop program it so we'll go through some videos setting up Raspberry Pi 5 it's already set up I just have to get my buddy zippy supposedly chat GPT 5 is better at programming it did pretty good when I programmed it for my earlier editions of it so overnight last night I was able to keep my phone on all night I kept I plugged it in last night oh yeah we also went shop and went to like the dollar store and I got a long cable so because the first two nights of Project Journeyman I was just running on the battery and only lasted about five hours last night we did a full 12-hour project journeyman i had first two nights i had 299 watches of 299 views and last night i had 600 and something so for the full overnight

and then what we'll do is we'll start adding visuals uh to the back uh so i'll have something going on i want to try to come up to fun stuff nightly change it of course and i also ordered my brain scan it's a little pricing around like a hundred bucks or something but it's coming from china so it may take a while to get here and we'll hook it up we'll learn how to interact it with it with raspberry pie 5 and somehow make some sort of program where i can see my brain wave as i sleep that's the ultimate goal and we'll keep it out live all night pretty much so so it's really trippy and i want as i said sleeping live because i know know even when I'm sleeping sometimes I'll wake up a little bit and I realize oh crap I'm

live so I have to kind of make sure I'm just doing the basics so it's really weird but it's fun but it changed my sleep pattern but I will so I stopped watching movies and stuff which I normally was doing for him with the bed so we'll probably watch a movie and then fire up project journeyman like another hour later so I'm not going to bed as early. I just wanted to get it ready. It was, I shut my air conditioner off behind my head. There's that beeps if I don't have it on.

Just had a fan on in my room, so that was cool enough. Probably going forward, hopefully. All right, so let's see what's going on today. I did something out just tonight. I just can't do it. Oh, I organized downstairs again a little bit. I did that. All right, let's see what the news.

Let's see what all the... the doom and gloom is around we don't want to talk about that look for some other stuff yeah so overall i set up pretty good i got up a lot more than i normally do what's only my third night it takes me while it used to sleep in that kind of mode called sleeping art pretty fun for all the spooky stuff to happen but i haven't quite have found it yet i do breeze through each each night i just take my and i just go through it real quick to see if I find anything that looks spooky and I'll mark a couple spots I'll do that I used to do it the following day last night I actually set it up before I went to

sleep meaning I put it in the posts that it was on for live called slumber so each night slumber goes into my post and I set it up and I actually shared it a couple of different places like there's a cool thing called mixer that you can oh and I also fix my store so now when you're you know when you're looking on the phone on my YouTube channel I got my store I got Etsy I'm not at sea I have Shopify setup still haven't quite finished it but you can click on any of the Shopify store she basically is the same or is an eBay store pretty much all the same stuff just puts it on YouTube my main page right there I'm sold anything so let's

check at Etsy oh let's see we have an order and Etsy speaking about orders oh I had a little PS2 fat power supply the the back plug the switch so that's one order there Etsy I have not changed the free shipping I kind of left it that way I think isn't in there as it is so I'm glad I had more shipping to it we get it so we'll leave that that's that way I don't mind doing there I'll see what really news is catching my eye I'm still looking around. All right, so let's go to Etsy. We go to Parchmark next.

So today, oh, I'm going to weed whack this morning. That's what we're going to do today. I'll throw my thing. I'm going to go early. So I can go, I've got to do it in the front. I have the weed whacker that only lasts like 15 minutes, so I'll just do it quickly. I want to hit all the little crevices where all the things are sticking out.

And then maybe next week, we're going to seal the drive. driveway make it look nice all right so parchment we're at one thousand one hundred and eighty followers and zero sales but I want I'm interested to see with commercials on my podcast here what kind of I make a few bucks off of that at the end of the month I hope I do I'd be really awesome sorry that you have to go through a commercial but I just need to make a few dollars similar out looking for another side hustle and hopefully you can get into another survival hustle other than just eBay I'm really trying to branch out to do that but I haven't quite

got there yet eBay's made or the easy eBay's been much better now since I've been really doing mass listings all kinds I put a bunch of stuff yesterday I found some more dollars I put too much of dollars up stuff like that and anything i could find that's not even game related so i'm really working on that because i can't live on just gaming parts and stuff like that anymore so we're working on i've got tons of stuff you can always find stuff okay so let me go to all right so we want to and Shopify and together so Shopify actually gives me a preview of what I think I sold on eBay so it's kind of because what it does is it auto crush references back and forth

as I sell something it'll go over to Shopify and tell and and pull that listing as told so it's cool keeps it keeps it update okay so we had some sales two orders oh that's in the last day so we had a couple sales looks like yesterday both three so it shows me fulfilled and unfulfilled and they're all from ebay doesn't show any from shopify in transit it gives you a cool really integrates between shopify and ebay so i'm really excited about that even if i don't get any orders on Shopify I've got to find out it says payments or pause please contact help resume payouts so we're going to figure out that's all right so

let's Shopify we're gonna add more stuff to here I got to find a I gotta add some sort of printing shipping label company to here so we'll figure out what that is it would be a monthly subscription so I'll figure out where that is all right so let's look at here the actual the this is actually a integrate eBay in integrate is actually a paid subscription it's not really just Shopify just remember shared this inventory you have shared these can't be saying sync So it tells me not imported. Some things didn't get imported, imported to Shopify.

So we get show you. So the payment for this to have this is 20 bucks a month. Trial ends in four days. So if I don't do a free trial, I'll definitely do it for a month because it really helped me out. And then maybe after a month I'll end the trial. But for the problem is I'll have to make sure I take things off. we'll see

so far like it it's pretty cool but again yet another subscription added and Shopify itself is a subscription as well

so that's two subscriptions I'm adding and you know I haven't sold it in Shopify but I think long term and it gives me

kind of like a website now because Shopify is actually a website it's nothing really great it's just just says my thing name but I did put eBay on the top of it

in a link and my YouTube page because always if I can find a way to link my YouTube in eBay to anything else I'm doing I do it just kind of mirror back and forth you know you want to being back and forth the more you can do that better all right so let's go to oh my RSS people yeah so we're wondering I just woke up I was actually up like a one I saw it was one o'clock I was like and then I looked the clock in it was like three

and I didn't get up and five I was like yeah I'll get up because I'll let me do really more of weed rack I'll go clean my buddies out early and then we'll go out in the front

the weed rack I'm going to do is in the front around my driveway there's all those little things sticking out that drives me crazy so we're going to hit all those little guys

I might have just enough with a weed whacker And I am going to upgrade a battery, though. My Louis Wacker died, so I sold the batteries. The other one I had died, so I sold the batteries in the charger. Save day on eBay, pretty cool. Again, something that's not a gaming related to myself. All right, so downloads.

I had three downloads yesterday. Pretty awesome. 421, 30 days. One big day I had normally, it's not like that. I liked to get another one. It was 351 day. downloads it one day. That's pretty awesome. Ashburn, Toronto, Moscow, India, Chinini, and Turney, from Italy. Pretty cool. Ashburn, Toronto.

Messaging bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. There's other, there's lots of stats here showing like where it's downloaded and percentages of the computers that it's download over Apple computers like half and those phones between a computer and mobile so lots of cool stuff I'm really happy with now RSS.com probably other huge thing that I added something I just did just as an afterthought because it was some it was an extra thing that I could put on my YouTube so I'm like yeah see that so I learned how to do it I mean, it's not a real podcast like you see on TV with people talking to each other and it being video. But just still a little voice over what I'm doing in the morning.

So I guess technically is still a podcast. And I try to keep it as gaming related as possible when we get there. So let's look at YouTube. let's look at youtube oh so we had a we got a couple of followers because of my overnight it said i had 15 new subscribers overnight so let's see that that is uh such uh good place to have uh so i had 636 my project journeyman overnight two thumbs up I gave a thumb up myself. I want one extra thumb up.

68,203 subscribers. I have had 15,526 last 20 days. I stopped promoting because I hit my 300 hot lock. So we're trying to come up with new ideas. And overnight is untapped potential. So, and I know it worked before. There was one time when I did Project Journeyman last, in the end of the summer no end of the beginning of the spring where I had like over 3,000 views

I mean people just come in for a second see me sleeping and then they leave but I get followers from that so I'm trying to tap into that which I'm going to I'm going to do it every night now and then we'll add some more visuals and do some more fun stuff and maybe my brain scans we can see how my because although I don't really move around it much I almost looks like I'm dead my bed, but I'm really alive. I do snore. We know that. It's fun to actually watch yourself sleep. That's another interesting part of it.

So Johnny Cake, Veggie Stand, I had 1K, little paw steps to figure our idea. I think it's my last one I promoted to 1K. Flash 15 seconds, Nintendo Switch. I use that for the Johnny Cake Center. That's where I went yesterday, Johnny Cake Center. That was the other thing I did. So what I did is I got there as early as I thought,

And the line was still pretty long. And I took my Switch 2 with me. I didn't have a, I don't have a case for it, but I did order one yesterday when I came back. I found it just a cool case with the hardcover glass on it and all that. So that would be coming into my Switch 2. So I played a little Mario Kart World. Switch 2 while I was waiting in line.

Just for a little bit. And then I was like, all right, that's pretty cool. And then I went back, I had someone to hold my place in line, and I went to put it back in the car. So I won't bring that again. But that's, I was fun to do that. Well, I need the case to have it, but it's hard to, it's big and bulky that I switched to. I don't know about that. That's something, I wouldn't, kids that can carry that around everywhere.

That's a disaster wouldn't happen. But that's pretty fun. Mario World car is pretty cool. I liked it. I mean, I always sit play all the time, basically the same thing. But you can jump up on the rails and ride the rails. and there's all ramps and all kinds of jump stuff never got i didn't get the highest i got with six place overall i think i ended up with my 16th place so my uh estimated estimated

revenue is forty seven dollars and nine cents so that's a huge one to me uh well a huge one to mean well it's only a really seventeen dollars and nine cents more than what i normally make per months but we're going to do also we're going to do a well we're due for a one-on-one YouTube insight so we're going to do that talk about all the new things that are going on here with me so we'll do a one-on-one on that one on those always do well and it's so it's one of those things where I really want to promote it so I can't promote because if I get the 350 and it's going to automatically take the money out that I owe hopefully another month we can do it we'll see because that's a big

one I usually if I do one-on-one I'd like to really promote that because I think one of my biggest one-on-ones is oh I also fixed my or reset up my main page on YouTube I broke down Project Journey Man I put that up top now I got or the store will show on your phone YouTube ImSight, it's always for a second. I gave life on double-shaved its own whole. Those are fun. I'm always going on about something.

I'll do another life in double-shaven in September. So that's got its own playlist. And I spread that one out. Outside the cube is the other one. It's all kinds of other fun stuff. I do one every once in a while. I broke it down, so I made my main page different. trying ocean you can put up to 12 playlists on your main page but you can have a

playlist with many different playlists within it but they're better when you just have one then it spreads it out shows all the last ones you did so no longer I didn't have playlists forever let's see I can add any see if there's any new subscribers So it says overnight, I got another 115 subscribers. That's pretty cool. If they stay, I don't know. At least I get them for, just to give them to come in, see me sleep in.

There's lots. And I sleep with a mad person, all kinds of crazy dreams every night. Remmeron. That's why I take it to sleep. I've taken it for many years. It's just an almost like another, I'm Bramon and Prozac. Those are the two mental health stability, things for me. It works.

But Ramon definitely helps you sleep right away, better than Trasidone. And it also, but it gives you crazy dreams. Vivid, too. Like, you can smell stuff and see stuff, colors. It's pretty wild. So when I go sleep, it's like a second world for me. Hence the name Project Journeyman, because it's my second journey, going into sleep, because I go to, like, a different world, pretty wild.

so the waking world and the sleeping world okay so and we'll try to share some brain waves soon I just ordered it well I'll tell you what's called in a second I'll put a link on it let's go to eBay alien earth five alien species aboard the ship that looks pretty cool alien earth I forget that's not ANC or something So let's, let's look at eBay. Okay, let's see, oh, there's a couple offers too. So I don't see the offers on, I don't see offers on. Respond to offer, four messages, two orders.

Let's look at feedback first. I always like this feedback, especially if it's positive. Yeah. We've been on a good positive role, we're not going to. own woodbook awesome item lightning fast shipping great seller twice PS2 distray break I gave him a couple of them just make sure it was me water this door only lightning back shipping that's pretty cool so let's go through let's see what the orders up first

sometimes message are related to orders I always forget let's see two orders i have oh no i sold another n64 uh all sold a few of them now all inside metal pretty awesome and then uh xbox one the lens is seven the lens inside the remember that the 1540 Xbox 1 1681 and then the X1787 the disk drive front Beasel is a bit different but the actual physical disk drive itself is exactly the same and the lens assembly inside is the same so you can take the lens assembly out and put in any of those three then you can swap those drives too but there's always a big however or in a butt with me the Xbox

1x 1787 has four pins that only exactly fit into that case when you slide it in so you can't put a 1540 drive which is like six pins and then this the s 1681 will not fit into the x however you can do it the opposite you can put anyone any of the three drives into 1681 or the 1540 that all makes sense thing just always remember that that the x1787 has to have those four pins and they fit exactly in there i guess they did that on purpose there's a lot of booby traps inside of uh uh x 1787 there's that cable that's for the top USB so many buyers ripped those off and then those were those used to sell for a lot of money not a lot but 25 30 bucks so booby traps inside the x 17 and 7 and those are the way one of the worst models that and the ice overheating burning the video chips out and all that stuff okay so let's go to messages here usually i'm pretty awake ready to go oh oh i found a guy was asking me about this lot of uh you guy ho you guy ho uh rare cards

i found it when i was looking around so we're going to uh Yes. Yes. Someone was asking about we. Yes. These listings about the wheat chucks and the controller pads and stuff. are the original ones. These listings, these listing listings, they would say, he asked me if the original

are not, are the original ones. I do a generic listing, it would be detailed as such. I have more of these plots to list. these lots to list both control I found a bunch more controllers for the white weed controllers and a little chuck thingies I don't know how to call me chucks but I think I found my black ones too these are all mostly white though I have one of these lots to list both controllers and nuns Chucks.

Okay. Now we're at Game Gear. Complete motherboard assembly. Hi there. The item has to effect related to model assembly. Making it not possible. Oh, there's some summer. What is your ass?

let's get it out of there so I had some sort of an AI reply thing going on there I would have no idea I would have no idea I do not us oh this is always worst case scenario I do not do board work or no electric electronics Usually, these have some cap issue. It could be other problems. So may never be able to be fixed. Hence, the word donor in my title. says I'm not kept issues but it could be other problems all right so let's see now

we're on to the guy that I told I showed me photos the box I found he says okay okay thank you so much so we'll do what we're gonna do a podcast on not a podcast just a video on those cards in 1980s hello good evening I know I would like to know if you send the item to Brazil hippianate back to life board is functional says only says yes yes I would ship a working board I can even show it working then torn down and boxed to you on my YouTube channel I don't think eBay ships you says I am not sure if eBay ships to Brazil it does I ship to them they ship to you and the

international is there's a two-step process I don't I don't directly shipped any Okay. So that's someone asking about something in Brazil. And then we have one defective donor. No, I'm not going to have that yet. I'm going to hold up on that. So those are, speaking about the we defective donor nunchucks. Not doing that, it's too well. I'll decline that.

it's one two three four five some of the these are all black we control there's a lot of them are corroded i i will with that but two two of the little cushion pad things you put over it most of them are all the the motion control one the better ones they're all black a couple covers and i think one two three four chucks too so um No. I'm not going to do that. I got two orders. We have some good orders, so. I'm going to list some more stuff on my Apple Macintosh M-O-O-O-O-1 today as well. I'm going to start an auction, too, for those two with the engravements, all the signature engravement,

and see where they'll go. I'm excited to see where they'll go. I'm going to start them high. I'll start by $200. And then we'll auction them for seven days. so we'll do another 5% on all my other stuff so that's cool there's a couple of things that were still at free shipping I didn't realize I fixed that yesterday that's pretty awesome and so we're still at 1,361 for the amount

of something's going to end up the amount of listings I have which just took me a long time to get I was at 800 forever. And then I decided to make the call to really stop mass listing and I had to do it a lot faster. You know, whether I wasn't putting any details or anything,

just kind of getting it up, getting a price, put it higher. Just going to town, it took me a couple months. I really want to get to 2,000, but I don't know if I get over there. It's so hard. I just concentrate on just doing that every day. And I have to have stuff ready to go, too. Which really isn't the problem, It's just getting the time.

You've got to take the pictures. You're going to do all that. Even if I try to use the, there's an option you use AI and just, you give AI pictures and it's supposed to be able to make your listing. But I can do it faster than AI myself a little bit. I got a good system to do it. Of course, I got a lot of listings. The key for me is getting diversifying away from just,

gaming parts i just can't can't live on that at all anymore the first few years it was i was selling masses amount you know 30 40 orders a week on just parts and so like that i know it's very very saturated plus now i got rid of the free shipping so that made a difference well i'm hoping that someday my youtube will pay off them and then ebay would actually be my second i'd love to have my youtube as my number one um survival hustle and then eBay can be a second survival hustle even a side hustle but as of now it's still it's the opposite YouTube's not even really a side hustle yet because I can't even generate $100 in a month so and that's what 68,200 subscribers and are even doing

a video overnight but we got to do what we got to do pretty fun no way you learn just keep plugging away at it see what happens I just throw things against the wall see what's sticks and go from there it's really my life model basically okay everyone so it seems to be it this morning early morning I'll attach some video of the yesterday at the Johnny Keek Center a couple short videos not quite a week yet but and I got two orders we'll have to get those done see my payments are at there's just to pay the bills for the month, which is pretty cool. So that's the key.

Just stay on top of bills is pretty much all I did. I'm doing. I owe a whole bunch of my four payment, K-L-A-R-N-A. Do everything through there. So it's like $800 I owe. It breaks it down on the payment so I can get the stuff now and play around with it. Like my Switch 2, I do have my MetaQuest. 3S Xbox edition listed

that's part of that I really haven't paid it off yet but nobody's been on anything or even gave me an offer so I may just keep it because I pay off all everything else alright everyone so that seems way hit for today I'll be more videos and stuff later on

all right so you guys have a wonderful day today is what uh today's Thursday I just have rain. We had rain last night going into some rain. The hurricane, which would have been a bullseye for us here in New England. It looks like it's staying off coast.

It's definitely coming really close to Carolinas. So for some reason it's turning. I'm not sure why it's naturally turning instead of hitting the coast. But some reason, there must be some force that's making not hit the coast. Because that's usually a bullseye of Carolina, where that Aaron is right now. and why it's turning is really bizarre to me but that could be an East Coast one that usually goes up the coast and that hits us

Hurricane Bob is the last one that we had 1991 that's how overdue New England is for a direct hit hurricane 1991 we had some come close or we've been brushed by it but never like a direct hit and it was only a category two that hit us but still doesn't matter nowadays when hurricanes hit

there's also a second hurricane overland there's usually a water rush well inland so that's what you get to watch out for now all right so i'll talk to you guys in the moment all right bye
