it is now 608 today is September 4th 2025 and we are on Thursday so it's been a little bit warmer which is cool it's not but at nighttime it's still actually last time was kind of muggy a little bit and we got a little bit more of that and then next week the the nighttime lows go down significantly so I'll almost be ready for a second blanket I just have a little sheet on that I sleep with. Obviously, you can see it because I have my nightly project journeyman. I spent a good couple hours with my buddies Zipy yesterday. I've got an idea because I've got the visual on the wall there,

so I have a certain amount of space I can use. So I have an idea, but I didn't quite come to fruition yet. But we worked on it for a while. And the amount of program I can get my little buddy Zippy to do is pretty wild. i could never do any of this without him so but we did come up with another program that i ran last night it had six visuals and six scroll scenes it was a massive amount of coding to do that so if you happen to watch it or just check it out for a few minutes uh that that visual was pretty massive for him to do that for me uh and to get kind of what i want but i have a completely

different idea but it's still in the early stages and uh the the the CPU heat sink fan that I use on top of my F-L-I-CR flicker case works pretty good. Keep my, my, my, uh, I see it by cool because we all know that the case that I wanted that came in from eBay came in empty. So I actually opened a return on that. Of course, I never heard from the seller at all, gave them the videos and everything showing that it opens it up and it was empty. It's supposed to come with a heat sink and a fan there but it came with nothing just a case so and then I open the return and I still haven't heard anything we'll check that in a few minutes to see what

happened and then I had that big bulky thing yesterday that I had to pack up or find a way once in a while I get a project something I list that's really hard and awkward to ship so it was only really a video that I had time to do yesterday yes yeah I did other stuff I spent a lot of time my buddies to be really enjoyed doing my raspberry pie programming but yeah it was a big thing I had to get the piece off inside so I could put it into a smaller box and it and it was a worst-case scenario shipping for me as I'm in Rhode Island it was shipping all the way to

Washington at Seattle Washington up there and it's probably cost me at least half if you to ship it and it'll probably get hit with more price later on I'd say what happened me I just the last big thing I shipped cost me X amount ship it and then a couple a week later UPS hit me with another like 20 bucks on top of that so I didn't have it high enough so although I did you make some money off of it I'm gonna most of it went to shipping so I made a little video I'm trying to figure out how to pull the piece off inside which I finally did and then we got it in a box I I had used banana boxes one on top of the other.

It's one big solid piece of plastic, so it should be fun. I had to put some pads in there. All I had, some heavy-duty diaper pads that were clean, unused, has some padding in there. And then what I did is I sent the buyer in the video, saying, hey, I did the best I could. Here's a video when you're trying to do it. Or we're getting it done.

So it got done, and I went right over the staples, had to ship out UPS. Anything really big and bulky like that has to ship you up UPS. And it's, even with UPS, it was really expensive. Because if I would have done postal service, then it would have cost me that whole amount that buyer paid to ship it. And I ain't going to have it. I've got to make some bucks off of all that.

That's what's going on this morning. Check it out. Let's look around. so getting ready for some football so we'll start our new routine this Sunday my TV's ready to go oh there's a new game I want to get

I was going to sell my PS5 but we keep going on at showing about that which I think one of the scariest things I've seen in a very long time that parade you know what I'm talking about was China

North Korea Russia that was pretty that's pretty scary in the equipment that they're trying china has is pretty wild there's even one one thing where it shows the robots the uh the robots on on the on the parade yeah that's if i ever had a chill down the back of my head my spine i was watching that yesterday i was like whoa it's like the good and the evil it's all it's us against all them oh man it would be that's that's powerhouse they got going on then I'd be real nervous we don't have any we don't have

that kind of all the people were like all the soldiers were speaking at the same time to the to the leader in China that's pretty wild see they are they all live under one person whereas here in the US you know everyone fights having a leader it's I don't know man pretty scary stuff That was really scary to me. I saw that. To see the military, and they had, like, those laser guns. Talked about the new laser things.

Never seen a laser used in war, but I'm sure it would be devastating. So, interesting. We're all doing this at some point. It doesn't matter. It's a matter of time. Just my feeling. all right so let's see anything in the news that except that we just talked about

the China thing great another order on Etsy I'll take it oh and it's another one of those power buttons I just found one I sold all those and I got rid of I sold all my other things let's see if we have any feedback let's see any look at that that was a that was a the Sega Dreamcast of the power button cable I found one more so get that one listed I mean that one sold you're awesome all right let's look at all right so let's Let's look at Parshmark. I've had one sale now, so I can list that I've had a sale on Parshmark.

I've got some shoes, some new clothes stuff that Motherhead bought that she didn't use. I'm going to make just a little of my own Parshmark listing today. We'll list the shoes. 322 still. I've got to go through Parshmark. For my offers, I have to check my seat. I have to check my sales I have a sale but somewhere I should really get if I haven't got paid for it yet it's in transit so it's showing that I did ship it okay that's cool and this is new so I Parkmark has a label so I was able to print a label out and it's part of the cost of

thing it doesn't see how my balance there is my balance down there so I have a balance now redeem balance activity you probably don't have any activity so I can't redeem my money yet so it was a few bucks taken off the top few redemption history

redeemable so it's still at zero so I have an X amount that I pending so it probably has a seven day work payment before you can get paid that is so we'll spend eye on that so I'll be my first payment

a parchment we'll do more of parchment next one all right so let's go to see let's do my office this morning this is where my podcasts go through I haven't unfortunately didn't get I thought maybe I'd get some bucks the commercials that you guys get here but I didn't see anywhere where I got deposited anything and I'm assuming it's going to be the same deal so yesterday there were two downloads pretty awesome 66 the last 30 days 1,164 since I started doing it which is pretty cool very consistent with at least at nighttime in the last seven days we've had Rock Hill the new one from the United States Netherlands Zetfina Netherlands Lyrsum

it's pretty awesome Netherlands was really really nice Chicago and Cleveland oh Cleveland's a new one Chicago I get oh and I can see red dots today so that's what Netherlands is get a little geography lesson here because this is a when I scroll through my downloads there's a flat map and it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go but it gives me a flat map of the whole world and I see red dots and those supposed to represent those people that download are excited really a big fan doing this all right so united states 50% russia is 20% netherlands is 20% and it is 10% those are the percentage of countries this apple podcast is 60% check that i gotta go log in apple

podcast maybe they're made up somewhere i would hope i'd make a few bucks off but nowhere have i seen any sort of income still looking for my second uh side hustle or actually survival Also, so I'm looking for it, still haven't found it. I've tried many different options here, but no luck. But it's still fun. All right, so let's go there. Oh, Shopify. That was my new adventure.

Another one of the things that really hasn't paid off. Oh, I've got to send a video to that company. Is a migrating company within the Shopify? It's causing an issue with my eBay. when a purchase happens according to this I had no order just now when a purchase happens supposed to the migration program will take it off to like someone purchased something on eBay eventually takes that listing off Shopify some reason it's taking off more than one thing now I can show you

that guy the video I told my channel a video once I it happened again so it did and this is a migration program that I have on here message that person so I have not imported did a couple of listings yesterday and just two I got three three months out of it so we'll definitely have to keep it out now give me through two three three months which just gives me time to maybe get my shop I go in here they didn't give you know there's no option for you to just cancel it because I couldn't find it I had to contact them let's go to oh check out YouTube so YouTube now it's time I really have no choice now I have a call

payment I can't promote more and it's already starting to go down now so we peaked our peak for YouTube was 72,800 maybe 72,811 I think I was at I've gone down 72783 so we're on our way down now Although I had Project German, I did pretty good last night. I had 520 views and 5 thumbs up before. I always gave myself a thumbs up when I was setting it up for the night. No comments. So maybe once a month I'll take $20 or so and promote something.

I'm due for a new Life in a Double Shade, so we'll do that. and then maybe i'll promote like 20 but my my watch hours is going down 1.1 the highest we were was at 1.4 remember last month i i promoted over 400 dollars that's a car payment now 226 i was trying to push myself up to i wanted to get to 100 000 but 2 000 uh 200 226.9k the views so at this point i was hoping to it will run on its own build on its own but it just it just doesn't but we're at that point now I just have to let it do its thing I just keep doing my videos as I do them they only get a few views other than my project journeyman's my overnight thing

which is helping me out give me some extra views we're gonna keep looking on that oh my brain what brain scan thing should be coming in let's check that out so we'll add the next element to my overnight thing I don't know how it's going to work out. There's a cool game coming out Friday. I think I'm going to get it. It's a survival horror. We can get the C.

It looks pretty freaky. First thing I'd lose either that or get Metal Gear Sala, which I'm not a sneaky game kind of guy. I want to sneak around. I'd like to get that at some point, but I want to get the other one, the one that with a really freaky looking. Either the Citadel or something,

something like that. It comes out Friday. and I watched it pre-go and I was like, you guys are like in a mask and they're talking through like a muffle. So if you're, you know, gaming, that's the game. And you're just survival hustle,

I mean, survival horror that's coming out Friday. You may get that. All right, so I have two offers. One is for my good thing, but I'm not going to give it away. No. That's not going to happen.

So somebody's taking, something I had listed in a cut in it in a half. Some like that we want to deal with it. So that's it now. Yeah, you know what, Stacey and Weddings, you know what I'm going to do, the blockings. Uh, I don't know, I was like, you know. Um, I was like, you know.

Um, yeah, I'm gonna cut, what's gonna. Stacey and Tim Wedding. Let's block that guy because it's kind of what I'm in this morning. My shop, I can do what I want. Block a buyer. My list is growing. I don't know what I was going to deal with that person here. All right, let's go back to business here.

We just have a message and let's see with feedback. I'll put it on my brain scan. Everything was as pictured and as described. Oh, that was the other Sega. Dreamcast, the top and bottom case. I sold the top and bottom case there. And then the seven pin power supply was the other one. Perfect, thank you.

That's pretty awesome. All I want is good and positive stuff. And decent offers. But remember, I already have 30% off. Plus I throw another 5%, so it's 35%. And yet I still get half off after that. So it gets old after a while. All right, so go ahead.

do these have the batteries now some some as pictured pictured are open open and do not we offered me $50 but it seems like he's not going to do that so we have pretty good sales we're going to do some mass listing today well throw another 5% on some other stuff here gives you an offer it gives you an option to ship five percent off again I could have it at a hundred percent off with more off and then I would still want a half off that that's possible it's not but if they could they would so right you know what I'm saying it's old so now I just blocked it but aggravated

me about that all right so I think I certainly hit this morning everyone kind of short morning we'll go on to go do some fun videos today yesterday didn't have time I sent I sent that buyer the video of me packing that thing and shipping out and they never like said oh cool thank the video or anything just I just said it and that's it so we're gonna know exactly how it comes there's no surprise try to do best I can to pack that you see if you watch the video I'll attach it it's really big and bulky and again it's the worst case near for me because it's going all over Washington and I just couldn't find another other box that would fit that I had that piece off that was in

there so it took me a good half hour to franagle that but we got it we got it we got a fringled so oh yeah let's before we go so I paid myself a little bit income trying to chop away it got some major bills now but we can handle it put a lot more stuff up all right so let me go to um I'll purchase history so I didn't hear anything about the return yet of course the buyer hasn't replied about that at all Oh, I must be missing. It must be not clicking on something. Are you returning this item?

Yes. I wonder what happened. The second time I've done that. Oh, it must be... Oh, I must have been... Oh, I'm missing something. I'm not... Oh, I must hit...

It must not be hit to submit. Now I hit submit. So somehow I'm opening a return, and I missed the last spot to it. All right, so now the return is open. Should have been open yesterday. I want to get that refund for that. I missed that last page to hit submit. Oh, let's look at the last thing that I have come in.

I can't purchase anything else. I've bulked up on all my boxes a while ago, so I'm all good with boxes. I am waiting on my brain scan to see if it got out of China yet. It's not. It's called Speedpack, but yeah, it's not speed at all. Sometimes speedback really quick. Sometimes I get lucky, but not this one. Package track.

still says it back for Steve. It still says it's in that country in China. But we got a lot of other ideas for that project journey, so so in television in television too, I got lots of stuff to list for that.

I found some more Nintendo game stuff. We'll keep moving on to some new stuff. We go along here. That's a part of the morning so what did I say today was what so we have quick work week for everyone so that's pretty awesome you're almost into the weekend already so that's
