Nightly 🌙 Project Journey Man 🌙 Sights and Sounds

Good morning, everyone. It is now 6.15. Today is August 26, 2025, and today's Tuesday. I was due for eyeglass, or my eyes, I should say. Exam. So I went over there yesterday to make an appointment, and luckily, they had an opening this morning, 8 o'clock. If not, I was going to have to wait all the way until the end of October. So I was like, yeah, I can do it today. So I'm going to get my eyes checked, and I'm due for a new set of glasses. I don't want glasses like I used to. I used to wear them all the time, but then I was running around the house, trying to find them all the time. So one day I just decided to not wear glasses when I'm home,

because I'm just in my house. And I find it a lot better not wearing them. I've had glasses that was 16 years old, so I've always had glasses. I remember trying contacts. my god contact for the worst and back then it was the hard contacts oh those things were so painful I don't know why they made those and then the soft contacts I had them here and there all the year through the years are going at jobs working and stuff I always had glass I've always had glasses on so it's

fun not having to wear them doesn't really matter around the house because I really don't see I have a hard time seeing close now so that's something that's changed with me. It was usually far. I could see far, couldn't see far. That's my glasses before. I've been air-sighted. And now I can't really even see close now.

So, getting old. You know, you're getting old in here. You can't see close anymore. Use a magnifying glass and stuff. So yesterday I didn't do any videos at all. Spent a day. I'm really and still into learning about Raspberry Pi 5. So I spent a lot of time to put it in Zippy.

However, we really didn't get. another program made I learned how to connect my Chromebook to Raspberry Pi 5 through SSH so that was a little bit interesting took a little while to figure that out but I kind of get it you know show why I really needed to be connected it was a way to bypass having us tick the USB out and plug it into the Raspberry 5 but then I end up doing that anyway so but it was cool so we're going to keep learning So what I did is I made a program just to run some older programs I already had. And I was supposed to keep running one night, but I woke up about 2 o'clock this morning.

And my programs were raw. So I shut my project journeyman down early a little bit. I was having trouble sleeping, so I just decided to shut everything off, take my mask off, and I was able to sleep for a few more hours. Let's see what's going on this morning. So yeah, no videos yesterday. I plan on doing one this morning or recharge my battery however then I just got that appointment yesterday so we're gonna go do that first so let's look at

let's see what we got here we got videos this morning see what we got here looking at videos this morning see what we got yeah I spent most of the time here and there between I put a few more listings on eBay and then I was playing out raspberry pie trying to communicate it's hard to communicate I had other ideas but I just couldn't get my buddy Zippy to quit do what I wanted to do so then I was like well I'm out of time so then I just used some ones that I've kept from before and I ran a few

but instead just one and I made a little had to make me a program market run more than one there in your home folder but somebody had stopped the other night and I'm not sure why

you should have kept going it just keeps it just chooses the ones that you have in your folder it keeps one on now but we'll figure it out it's really fun though I like Raspberry 5

5 oh another order I'd see okay It's another good. So we'll have another order on Etsy. This is original Xbox hard drive, caddy, and screws. I have that. I got that.

So it's the original Xbox, the hard drive, caddy, and screws. Pretty awesome. I've had a couple orders now on Etsy. Let's check to see. That's why we keep it. It's a little side quest. It makes enough to pay more to cost me. to have all the listings in here and then I would make a few bucks here and there.

So it's not quite a side hustle, but it's pretty close to be able. So that's one order there. It's only a little order than I only make a few bucks after it's all setting down between shipping and all. But I kept free shipping here. The orders are like $12 and I take away the shipping costs. It's $8 and something. something for Etsy so it was a dollar so it used me like two bucks although I have an order all right so sorry just woke up I have kind of want to get this podcast in

because I want to go get my guys done a little bit eight o'clock every day so I'm right down the street I live five minutes from the hospital and all medical stuff pretty awesome you had a scary thing yesterday last night my mother fell the first time she did a phone she was really scary she slipped off the chair and she was well i'm always here for her and luckily i was i helped to get it back up again but it was really hard to get her up so it was a little scary event that happened luckily nothing happened to her was just a slip off the chair under the ground but she couldn't really get up correctly it was a little bit of a struggle so

you're a caretaker scary things like that especially when you're a caretaker late in late in some stages she's 84 she still can get around goes everywhere there's everything in a room but just it's just really scary to think at some point it may change it's coming sooner than later for me it's doing it all myself so it's really hard to kind of grasp trying to be there every every second it's a little bit of hard I don't want anything to go wrong, but actually it's probably going to just a matter of time, I guess. So, all right, so let's keep looking on here. Let's go to...

So I've been having a caretaker for many, many years, and she takes care of me too, so kind of goes both ways. But on her end, it's more now being there. whatever she needs pretty much try to it's not easy all right so we're at one thousand one hundred and eighty six uh subscribers I mean I have followers on uh Poshmark nothing's really change there um but let's look at my RSS feed uh shorter podcast yesterday this one will probably shorter just because I got to finish waking up here and then I got to take care of one of my buddies they're always my first thing in the morning everyone

needs new water new food my guineas I had to change their whole bedding cage thing they're like a bomb it's in there and then when I get up in the middle of night I usually get up once to go pee or something I change all the water so when I'm having sleep and I'm changing that water because they drink a lot just my guinea pigs they always get fresh water them all night up three downloads just today 422 all the last 30 days and 1,153 all time pretty awesome uh Toronto ashburn uh wakisha wakisha united states Israel Moscow's been there for a while be awesome message in a bottle but the internet ocean wherever it may go try to keep it consistently daily and eventually

here and they all add some other ones. one's midday talking about some sort of a system or something to that effect I just haven't had time all right so let's cruise on here to oh Shopify not sure what's is going yet or if it's going anywhere but for right now we're going to continue on it's extra x-em-r which i said it was 40 bucks a month looks like i have one order on ebay i need to fill all the other orders are done i had my second thing where i didn't have it anymore i forgot to take it off i saw something on etzy and i forgot to take it off ebay and then some we sold on ebay and then i had to let the buyer know i didn't have it so i hate when i have to do that so it's twice

it was a good that was a good sale too I really thought about that so inventory I know if my crosslisting is still on here I asked to deactivate it but I don't think you did not imported six items so import those not imported Let's see if I ended that. Let's see if I ended up. I asked them to, because I don't want to subscribe something. I can't really use it yet. Current plan.

No, I don't say I still have a current plan. Intergrade. Trying to integrate. Of course, then that's an extra, that's another extra of 30 bucks a month. It ends up like 60 bucks more and I want to have to have, both Shopify and the eBay integration program within Shopify. So I rather want to keep going with it, even though it's only directly on Shopify.

Just brings me another place. So let's go to YouTube. let's see what's going on here we're growing too so my let's see how I cut my project chairman short was only a few hundred views last night you really have a good visual and the pictures I have are cool they're just scrolling words and things that I try to help the good ideas oh yes we're really growing though very excited 71,109 subscribers That means I've gone up almost 100, 1,100 subscribers since yesterday. I think it was yesterday that we were just ticked to the 70,000.

That's pretty exciting. And my accomplishments are pretty awesome. I don't want to show them as much that used to. So my hours have ticked down a little bit. The views are 274.8K. which is up the actual watch hours is down 1.3k you know i was highest i got highest 1.4 but i stopped really promoting i did promote my long one-on-one which let's see disregard the outside so one-on-one i had 2.6k views that's my big one my xbox 360 fan 2k views and learning about the

king of games I got 1.7k those are the only ones I promoted average duration 11 seconds for my overnight project Jerryman I only had 379 let's see how long did that go should have let's check that cut short 10 hours so something went wrong I have to figure out where about the video ended because I have the sites and sounds sites we're using on the back wall the sounds are any sort of scrolling on the wall whatever I can come up with or for fun stuff that's so I'm putting up some sort of thumbnail and we'll go back later I got to check the last couple of nights too if i did anything weird i'm looking for me to be

levitating in the bed or something like last night's about crazy dreams pretty wild stuff or what while under under the trance i could you call it called under the trance of the project journeyman sleep mode i'm in with the mask on all i just it's so very very trippy or what kind of dreams they relate to me being under that trance and I know I'm, even though I'm sleeping, I know somehow that I'm on video, so I'm making sure everything is, you know, clean and simple on the video while I sleep. I don't really move around anyway. I really don't do much while I'm sleeping.

How do I do turn sometimes? I do snore when you do that. So I learned all about my sleeping habits because I do this every night. And soon, hopefully, my brain scan thing will be in. And then we can figure how to, I'm trying to learn, I'm going to learn how to put raspberry pie. It's going to interact with that so we can watch my brain waves at night. That's the goal.

That's the ultimate goal. Not just that, but we're going to see if I can get that to work. That would be a lot of fun if you can do to work. It's supposed to be work. But I don't want to think anybody else is live feeding it, but we're going to do for fun. Let's say, no comments lately. comment free just fine if you know if you time I have comments

you're weird ones so let's see who we can subscribe to so we added all those new subscribers let's see this is the ones I can subscribe to 11

and there's just one zero that's meaning that's all they have the subscribers six his one 28k so that's a big one 28k that would be my number one amount of subscribers and then back down to zero one 16 I want the big ones subscribers because that means I get a chance to get more because I'm kind of a

big one now although not when it comes of revenue though I just look at it's $47 I made a dollar so the amount of as we always talk about subscribers has zero to do with any sort of revenue because these people again hit oh yeah somebody has 220 subscribers so I'm still subscribing to ones from last night zero zero oh there's a one eighty four subscriber three one oh one those the amounts that they have and then an eight so we ended up getting now is I have a 28k subscriber that I can see and it's always about what I can see so So my top 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 subscribers that I'm subscribed to that I can see is 28K, the next one down is 9.16K, the next one is 8.81K, and the next one is 7.73K, and then 6.22K, or the ones that I can see.

and most of these are international. U.S. is not my top viewing area. India is. India's got a lot of people, so we'll take it. I'll take it. No matter of work. It's because I posted at different times earlier than most people watch, although my project yearneman is overnight,

so we can get as many people as possible. All right, so now it looks like from where I said going to eBay, we only sold one thing. So my Shopify is a precursor to what eBay's doing. At this point, it's all it's doing. I'll have to evaluate in a few months. If I'm not really, it's nothing really going to change. I don't know if I'm going to keep it up.

You can pause the store and all that. I sold one thing and I have one message. Let's check it up. All right. Hello. uh hello how are you today

the car is four megabytes right thank you I don't know uh I am I am unsure

I'm unsure it's exact so there's um Apple Macintosh Classic M1420 has a memory expansion. Card, but I don't know what I want to know. The exact amount.

How would I tell? How would I check? So we know for sure. for sure all right so I'll have to look at that this little 16 expansion the M1420 so we had a counter or for nine dollars I guess I'll do that give me a couple dollars so I'll do nine dollars so I'll do nine dollars because I got my four dollars flat piece that gets me up to I can do that.

I won't go any lower than that. Before I was doing $9 with free shipping, and that means that I was making a dollar. Now, with $9 in the four flat fee, it gets me a few extra bucks. I kind of made $3,4 per order. It's a lot of work. This is cutting off these little stickers off the end of the Intent of GameCube.

We'll do it as a video later, so we'll walk on with that. That's kind of why I did it anyway. If I can make something into a video and make a few bucks, then I'll do it. Right? So we do. So I had some more things. Of course, I throw another 5% on orders. Nothing really bigger it's been selling. I've just been scraping away.

Put a couple things up yesterday. We're going to do more. I just have one sale this morning. which is, oh, it's a Nintendo Weed just drives, so I tested a bunch of those. So we'll get, we'll sell one of those today. Now we scraped up a little scrap cache, as I call it. Nothing really big for sales, but it's adding up little by little. Sometimes it's that way.

That's when I normally have those, is my scrap cache is from all of those. cash is from a little little parts on but it's still the amount I used to so I kind of count on the bigger things selling but and I look with that sweet at all we're pretty much on track right now so all right just enough to pay the bills just how basically as I do I live eBay sale by just enough to pay the bills and some of the fun stuff that I bought to switch to and all that switch to and my awesome my MetaQuest 3-X-box station. I don't have any offers or anything on that.

I use K-L-A-R-N-A. So I've got form payments. I think I have like $8,00. I have full payments still breaking it down. I can do that if I can do it that way. Get the stuff now. But that's it. No more. I put some consoles here

a little bit in that pile. The amount of now. Now we just, well, the brakes are on. No more purchasing until I get all that's paid off the next month. Plus, I still have my debt consolidation I'm working on for three and a half years into that. A national debt consolidation is pretty awesome. It really helped me out. I would have never gotten out otherwise.

It keeps you disciplined. And hopefully the payments will stop going down a little bit. It's been real expensive. It's like 600 bucks a month I've been paying for a year or so. Try to get these things down. it's a lot of money as soon as it'll get done I'll be debt free

no definitely won't need any credit cards all right so yeah so my estimated revenue is $47.11 so I went up like I said almost a thousand subscribers I usually gain subscribers overnight too my project journey man hence while I do it why I do it

is it's really it's really great air time 12 hours of air time that otherwise would go wasted and I can use it for that. And we'll continue to try to add more fun things to it the best I can. I mean, basically it's just a small little space where I sleep. I can't really do much there.

And I sleep. So I can't, that's what I can do personally besides sleep. So if I can get a little visual and then I have two sound machines. So that's the sounds part. I try to change up the sound machine. and the visual is just what's on the back wall that's all I have my

literally that's the space of the phone okay of course we have to do it vertical on the phone I use my new Samsung S-25 it's a little mini one it's cute

but it battery doesn't last I'm only six hours I have to leave it plugged in all night and that's what I've been running I had an 816 that I had used before but then I could get the

connector right so it's a good idea it's just things to come up with try to grab some more subscribers and just get yourself out there a little bit check out by one-on-one that I think it came out really good my disregard the outside YouTube professional the one-on-one it's it's on now it's a good hour I did a good hour one-on-one on that and that was yeah it's it's under under my YouTube channel Insights I had 3.3K views on that one.

And I had the screen next to me that you can see all my info other than anything that's, I don't think it's really enough. So you can see where I'm at. We talk about my progress where I've been. And I think at that time I was at $69,000 when I was doing that couple days ago, two days ago. Now we're at 71. So there's really no ultimate goal you want to keep going,

but $100,000 sounds doable. right uh i just have to chill on the amount of uh google promotions we've talked about many times uh in the last four since i started google promotions i'm at well over a bit close to two thousand now dollars spent up front investing in this uh but it's just like just like you just like ebay it's same thing up front invest so much you get it to grow that's what i'm doing here on youtube i just can't get youtube to pay off at all I will make another hundred dollars you need I've only made a hundred only three hundred and thirty three dollars so far total but I haven't been able to

touch the last forty seven dollars think of my Google Adsense and check I think it's at sixty dollars memories it shows more on my Google Adsense I can see it directly how much I have made ad sense or Google Ads sense yeah I to hit I have to hit a hundred dollars for it to give it give me that money it's kind of let's see what it's say it's only at the end of the month so so my $68.60 I've made since my last payment which was $126.37 and I think total it's saying here on my if I look at my analysis for revenue show more revenue so overnight I think I made dollar 88

so revenue so yeah so what's war around it's still were way in the negative long story short there but let's see plug away so i'm going to try not to promote that much i did pull 60 bucks onto my one-on-one which was uh that was a good investment all right everyone so we'll get my eyes done this morning i like to do any importance i can do or at first thing in the morning we'll get it done so we'll get that my isn't really changed too much but i'll get a new set of glasses I'll have a couple of years, so I'll do for that. So it's pretty cool. I said everyone, you guys have a good, today's Tuesday,

so have a good second day of the work week. We got to know that the next weekend is more, I mean, Labor Day weekend, so we'll have a long weekend coming up as well. All right, so I'll talk to you later. All right, bye.
