Episode Date: May 28, 2025

When I was 16, I rebuilt a 1966 Ford Fairlane 289 motor. Now at 57 My 2004 Jeep Liberty is in need of a complete engine 3.7 overhaul. I would Love to get a second engine to rebuild as a project.

Good morning, everyone. It is a bit later this morning. It's 7 45 I got up late because I've been staying up instead of usually I Go to sleep around 430 I've been watching movies and stuff a little bonus. It's a little bit warmer now trying to sleep. So I'm also watching movie into Max Dune watch a movie into max dune prophecy very fun I'm on the second series I'm in the second episode I'm a huge dune fan I really like doing one and two so prophecy is completely different from them too but still really interesting I also a

big max fan they got lots of good stuff on there. Prime Video is another one of my favorites. I like those better than Netflix. Netflix just has tons of stuff but a lot of it's crap. But there is still fun stuff there. So we were watching the second episode of that last night. I really suggest it if you like doing it's pretty cool it's a whole different era and everything but I normally don't like the series like I haven't watched any of the Star Wars series on Disney I think I've tried to watch a few of them just couldn't get into it but the dis doing one's pretty cool so I'm a big fan and then yesterday we what do we do yesterday? Oh, I got my returns in

I got a return in the return I should put it as the return came in and we also I mean I also had three other returns In the last few weeks, so we just did a little end of the day Return video and then I put it on before I went to Shut off for the night So let's see what's going on today. I spent some time with my dogs. Oh, I had to work on my orders So that we say you want me as your seller because I had pretty much got everything ready to ship or pack on Sunday and Monday

because there's a long holiday weekend and Then yesterday morning still took me a good two and a half hours to Actually pack everything and I had everything over to the main post office by 10 o'clock So it's pretty awesome And I don't know many people I can do that so usually I'm always I don't want to fall behind I never wanted to so I was at the state pace So I wanted to do what I do I have to keep constantly either packing something Printing out labels. It has to be consistent as they come in

Or I would get buried very simply, but we're pretty good again, and I do it all myself So it's a lot of work Again, and I do it all myself, so it's a lot of work So when things don't go right that's why that's why I react the way I do Because I put all that time and effort and of course. I'm not really gonna go over the Returns, but the everything is exactly as it should have been so I'm not sure But is what it is you can judge for yourself. You can watch the video and tell me where Something wasn't as described. I don't kind of get any of it. But it's done now. So returns back, payments paid, refund is

done. So let's see what's going on this moment now. And we'll go on to the next thing. So Etsy has been quiet. I had a couple of questions, but I haven't seen any sales. I've only had one sale in the last week or so. So let's look at my RSS feed. So yesterday I did a, Oh, I think I had yesterday, I had the combined line. It was yesterday or the day before because my dog got up. Here's my voice. He thinks that something's going on in the house. So he gets up. Could have swore, he thinks that something's going on in the house so he gets up. Could have sworn I felt an earthquake last night, but maybe I was wrong. And of course I always

have wild and crazy dreams while I sleep. It's like a movie every night when I go to sleep, it's pretty wild. So I never know where I'm going. So one download, so we've been consistent on one download, pretty cool. Very happy with just even one download. download, so we've been consistent on one download, pretty cool. I'm very happy with just even one download. Oh, so no places, Canada. Burnby, Canada, of course Ashburn and Manola from the United States. Those are my common ones that I see every day. I always welcome them. Sweden, Germany.

Again, this is my message in a bottle over the Internet Ocean. So only a couple of dots across the pond, as they say, and in Canada. So that's exciting. I don't think I ever went in Canada before. But I do it every day because it's just part of my routine now. All right, so let's look at YouTube. We were growing.

Let's see. Let's see what we got going on here. We're really growing. 43,147 subscribers. I've had 8,754 in the last 28 days. My revenue was at $30, but it went down to $29. Bummer. This, as described, got me, so that was my video I made. It's called As Described, Spot On with Hand-Picked Items. But still it was returned.

I've had 672 views. That's pretty cool. Just want to keep shooting. Plus, I put the links to the other two, Which is the two vulgar ones that's where it started So that way you have and then I did a quick short about the ones I got back So we put it all in a little loopy loop to loop so you can look at and I was gonna put a link That's what I'm gonna do this morning. I had a link the actual original listing so you can look at the listing the way I listed

it for parts in the way I shipped them and then the way they came back. It's all the same. If what worked and what didn't work that I didn't know. Hence that's why in the title it said unknown because that was the point all right, so let's check. I'll eBay It looks like we have Nothing today, let's see if we got any Let's see if we had some feedbacks oh

Let's see we got here seller goes above and beyond constant updates fast shipping well packed Continuous verification and eagerness to please the customer a plus Lot everything arrives safely and as shown I fixed my xbox with these parts. So that's pretty awesome That's what I look for. That's all I want I don't know all the other nonsense Needed a bottom shelf for a Genesis model one had a crack this fit the bill or perfect Great experience communication fast shipping speed even though USB dropped the ball was not the cell's fault

Things are I don't use priority anymore Everything is ground advantage. I was been since been priced out of priority So it may take a little bit longer now, but I have free shipping So it's my my choice of the way I ship it right because I have to pay for it And I just can't afford priority. I don't ship anything it used to be I was mixing and matching bigger things but then once the ground advantage came along First class used to be only to 13 ounces, but if you had eBay you could get 16 ounces So I had to do some with priority after 16 ounce, but now I don't I just do everything for a brown ground advantage

Meaning that nothing goes in a plane and all goes on the ground Excellent product, side panel. Okay, so that looks good. I did have, I do have one order. Let's see what that is. Oh no, actually just, no I just did get one order in. So that's cool. I do have an order now. I didn't have it a minute ago but now I do. I do have a new sale, which is 20% off everything over $22 or $20 because I can't do 20% off of anything below $20 because then I'm down to a dollar made after I paid to ship it and all that stuff. Then I do a 5% coupon of anything under $19 or $18

So I can do five percent so I can put it's it's the effort Let's see So I think all my refunds were done Let's see those were done oh When I'm this is my new thing now. I have a Jeep. It's a Jeep Liberty 2004. Has a 3.7 engine in it. And I want to get another engine.

And when I was 16, it's a good story. When I was 16, I was kind of like where I am now, really just into doing stuff. Although back at 16, I was probably girls and alcohol and all that stuff. It was in my way. But now that's gone, at 57 I want to rebuild an engine. So when I was 16 I had this, my brother had an old 1966 Ford Fairlane with a 289 in it and I rebuilt the engine myself in the garage. I don't have a garage, that's my problem. So I, and my engine in my Jeep Liberty, huh,

I sold one of those little, so Sega Genesis Aligner, pretty cool. I got lots of those. So we'll do that in a minute. So my cheap Liberty engine works fine. I've been putting a lot of money into it over the years. Since I got it, my brother gave it to me as a hand-me-down. So I put tons of money into the engine. But now it needs pistons, rings. It needs the bottom half done. and then it needs the top half it needs valve valves heels and probably camshafts and all that stuff so I'm looking around for an engine I saw an engine untested the problem is that I would have to it would come in a pallet they actually have free I found the shocking free free freight because you put an engine you have to put it on a pallet

that's a ship free so free freight is gotta be four or five hundred bucks so it's like what free freight that's awesome so I saw one that would be in my budget not now because obviously not really selling a lot of stuff So my goal is to get an engine. I think or I'll bring it to have it shipped to the my guy down the street Yeah, I would love to be able to rebuild an engine like just like I would do it in a computer or gaming system The problem was having an engine is a I need a hoist you lift it up I would need to put it on some sort of an engine Block and I don't have a garage so then I have to cover it but I want to do is take it all apart because you have to

Get a book or you can use a buddy zippy. I don't know if that could really do an engine, but when I did the one at 16 Everything's got to be torqued. Every screw has a certain torque to it. And so you need a torque wrench. I really would love to do that. Take an engine, have one shipped, and then if I had a garage, I would automatically already have done it. And then I could just sit down and pull it all apart, replace pieces piece by piece while my Jeep is still running and then when I get it all done

And then I can have them swap the engines which obviously would be really expensive to do I couldn't do that But I have no way to test it. That's the problem So it's something I'm thinking about doing I always want to rebuild an engine But I can't do it with the inside the cheap I would need a separate engine or I just would pay the guy down the street to just to the top half first and then I really need to get those pistons and rings out of there and hopefully the cylinders are not too bad you can hone them with a tool with it and what it's still in the engine? Or even better, if you take it out,

then you could bring the thing to a machine shop and they bore it out for you. And then you get an oversized ring set by a few centimeters or whatever it is. So, it's something I'm thinking about. That'll be some fun videos, getting an engine delivered. It'd be freight. I used to do lots of freight. I used to be into the

Liquidation business and over the years before I started really doing gaming stuff. It was all about liquidation So I was getting pallets like from Home Depot, and then I found a local place to do them I got a refrigerator once for I'm a pallet. I Wish I would have done all videos back then it was pretty fun so that's what I'm thinking about doing an engine I'll cool and some so we got a little bit of I got to pay some bills in the month of the month here, so we need to get these. I got real jammed up because I had to do that refund, which was a bummer. Okay. So, this is the second one on hold.

I'm not sure what that is. I got both of them back. 62. second one on hold I'm not sure what that is I got both of them back. 62 all right so that's something I'm it's in my idea of things to do so we got some sales I sold one thing today just make it a short podcast this morning good I got a lot of things to do outside of course I have all those projects I'm still working on and we'll continue to on all summer, but I got all the moving stuff before it gets really hot. We do have some 80 degree weather coming up very soon.

So let's look no more. So my average duration as always is 33 seconds. Therefore that's why my estimated revenue for YouTube never really goes up. My watch hours are up a little bit, 694.9. Oh, actually down a bit. And view hours are 98.9.

So and my accomplishments was at 40,000 on May 22nd and on May 28th and I'm at 43, so it's pretty cool. But I promoted this last one I put 40 bucks on it so I'm well over $200 now for promotions but I should almost be ready to make $100 but I really wanted to promote that one but I gotta kind of chill out promotions but I'm just trying to get to grow and maybe at some point to level itself out but I still haven't seen that happen and then we're gonna be doing some outdoor videos soon Make up. I'm gonna make a little

Workbench outside or under my canopy thing It's a carport actually and we'll do some stuff out there I'll set it up for like attempts. You know I get some power out there and do all that fun stuff. Only I won't be able to do is if I can't get a wifi. Not yet anyway. It's gonna be really nice out. And I've got some rooms that are enclosed. So we'll get there.

All right, so you guys have a good afternoon. It's a little bit earlier, probably about 15 minutes. But, that's pretty much all I got this morning. And then I will talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
