Morning, everyone. It is now 5.44 a.m. It is December the 12th, 2025. On Friday. So we're heading to the weekend. We're back to being cold again. We had a day that was kind of a little bit warmer. So it was able, my mother's feeling better. Colvin really took a toll on her as well, just as much as it did me. But she's almost 85, so is she? But luckily, I think she survived. it and I got her out of the house she wanted to go over to she goes a lot of little neighborhood centers and stuff like that Johnny cake centers we took her over a couple of the not yesterday but the day before I was a little bit long around get some food no kind of stuff we did lots of food stuff all kinds of

pantries they don't know it does it for years I'm just gonna follow her her footsteps and do the exact same thing when it's my time just to find to survive so she's feeling better still gets up for a few hours and goes back to sleep so and it's plus four in the middle of winter so it doesn't help any so it's just an unexpected thing to happen but we seem to have gotten through it so she got out a little bit which is pretty cool so yesterday I worked on oh had another eBay shipping challenge so we get that box it was an X Rocker Mario X Rocker really good good shape I tried to package the best of possibly could

had the perfect box for peanuts the whole deal so we spent about good 45 minutes with a video doing that and of course I sent the video to the buyer and I know I don't hear back from the buyer once in a while I'll hear from the buyer saying oh cool thank you for your hard work or something but most of the time I don't get back so they'll know the way it's coming and shipped it out that morning I had it packed and at my main my main post office by 9 o'clock it was a big box so we had a few other orders

and then I did at end of the day had two mystery boxes one was a good news one was a bad news we opened those up and then we played Death Stranding 2 got past the really dark scenes in Death Raining 2 now I'm just about to get ready to go to Australia and that's as far as I'd ever got

and my controller came in too my drawer bridge controller which is pretty cool was metal on the drift thumb that they kept circling around. So now, and it's a brand new controller too, which is even awesome. Somebody pulled it out of a box and just sold the controller separate.

So pretty cool. I didn't get the box, just the controller. They're still sealed in and it's start-ophone stuff. Pretty awesome. So we got a lot of charge and then it updated and it's all connected now. So that'll be my controller that I use moving forward.

All right. So let's see what's going on this morning. My health-wise, I want to say I'm about 90%. Maybe even more now. Oh, the buck's lost again. 29, 28. And the season's slipping away on them. We're doing pretty good, too, and I just can't seem to win the game lately. Okay.

Let's see what's going on. Thursday night football. Now, let's check. No snow on the forecast yet. but we got some flurries maybe last we haven't had really a winter in quite some time it's been many many years we've had like a really blasted winter i have a snowboat i still have but um i haven't used it i haven't needed it to just shovel so we're going to be getting into that and we'll do some outdoor shoveling videos and stuff that's i can do outside

I don't see anything going on in the news that really catches my eye, other than doom and gloom, but we don't talk about that. Just buzzer it by. We all hear that a million times a day. No, no something to be talking about it. All right, let's get to my business here. Etsy. We had an order on Etsy yesterday. I got that shipped out.

A few different orders yesterday, of course, they always get shipped out. I had to go to the main post office, but in the giant box. So I did go to the main post office. then that went out for a little bit just to get their stuff um let's a review so good reviews on Etsy

and we're talking about it once we get to 2029 which is coming up very quick I can I mean that's what I do oh god 2029 man I get a nitrop here in 2029 which is 2026 I'm going to put a whole bunch of new stuff on Etsy let's sit down

and build it like Etsy store with all kinds of wee things that I hope I got a lot of wee motherboards too we'll get to it all right so let's do my normal routine here this one let's see what we got going on yeah so I got pretty far with death training we got through the really difficult part got really dramatic and dark and now I'm in the tallum and then it gets really fun after this but then I I never played any further than getting to the plate gate so we're gonna get to the plate gate and then see where that goes from there so it's pretty sad now I have the

control of the matches it shows very fun I had two controls that I got with that Xbox with the PS5 but one of them I found I had the drift in circles and it makes everything circle around I've got two of those two controllers are listed for parts. One best fully worth cars I know. But you know all the controls, there's always one button somewhere that doesn't work. So you have to put every control of its parts. So we're at 1,286 followers on Parchmark.

That's my little social media site. Nothing really else going on there. I don't know if it really helped me in any way, but there is links back to my YouTube channel and everything like that. So you can't hurt, right? All right, so let's go to RSS feed. We're back to the normal, just a couple downloads yesterday. Let's see what we're at today.

I do promote yesterday, of course. I'm not thinking forward it, but it will still be promoting. Oh, it's interesting how this is a big jump for me again. 26 downwards. I wonder where they're all coming from. That's really really helps me out. It's real exciting for me. I'm used to like one or two.

one or two, lots of times zero. So I have 250 downloads in the last 30 days. That's pretty, it's a 231% increase, 1,488. So my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever I may land, it's been getting out there more, so it's pretty exciting for me. It's very exciting all the time, but then it only shows three downloads

from top cities, Germany, Loon, Germany, and Canada. there. Don't know what all the other ones are coming from. I don't know. Usually it would show all my cities, but it doesn't. So I don't know if that 26 is even, uh, must have been doing more than one of, but it just just says one download. Three cities, one download, but yeah, it's showing me 26. We'll take it. Either way, either way, it's fine. Monetize, we always check that. $38. Ooh, now I have a balance of two cents. I can draw. So that's pretty cool. So if my 38 cents hasn't changed, I think, well, maybe I had 37

cents. Now I'll have 38. My available balance is two cents now. We'll let that keep racking up there. Eventually, I think I'll be able to take all 38 cents if I want. So we got to make fun about it. We've got to make light a bit as best you can. It's something though. I can say I made some money on podcasting. It may not be a lot. Many people will never have done it. I did it as a whim just to add to my YouTube channel, which is where I segwaying right now too. And it should be just cruising along. Except, just like my podcast, the one number I really need to move.

A video cannot be monetized, good, new bad news boxes, options, view options, monetized cannot be monetized, take action. I can change the song, take action, replace song. So we'll just replace the song. Is there any kind of a song, I have to replace it with something? So let's see, we can replace that song, so it'll, we're going to add drifting too. We'll save it'll copy over the song that's copyrighting, and then it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, be able to be monetized that's pretty cool go fix that it's not the video so

when you play games sometimes there's songs in the game that's trying to have some songs so my views well first my subscribers 100,000 3,000 103,215 subscribers so we're still growing a little bit there it's pretty cool my views a 1.1 million views which is way up for me watch hours are 8.7k my revenue doesn't change $56.50.

All my videos are getting small now because somebody's I promoted almost $200 on my video and didn't need to. It's supposed to be $20. That's the one that went really, really high. but now we're down to just a few them that i'm just like a few dollars so i got 24 point my my first colvin youtube channel 24k on that one big three 21.1k i officially had colvin 15.5k so those are big numbers though for me uh i i've never saw those kind of numbers but again it doesn't reflect at all to my revenue so it's great to have those those numbers but and i could tell you the

the big numbers that I've never seen it's fun to get that I had to pay to get to most of it but 363,206 was my number one video and it was for 1.5 1 minute and 50 seconds almost two minutes yeah it generated no revenue at all or barely a dollar just doesn't seem right my second video is at 135,000 on that my my first uh post-covin youtube channel i got 50 000 on that one that was my one-on-one pretty awesome i like do my one-on-ones they're a different a little bit different view i get those little mechanical arms and connect my phone too so that was pretty cool officially had colvin that was 47,000 that was a podcast i promoted two podcasts the morning i was sick i slept for 16 hours 18 hours that's when i was

really still sick i was just i didn't know as i was sick i still was it was pretty brutal but each day is a little bit better yeah so now we have had 91,091.6k views from my podcast watch hours went up significantly 660 68.4 so that's pretty awesome so I promote those two podcasts and I did it only because I go COVID and I wanted to talk about it so if I see something if I do something different so I had a hundred twenty one view news one at 25 views and white good news bad news yes there was a box one was a return and the other one was my controller death straining the drawbridge pretty cool I like it big man it's black pretty much it we fixed that option

it's that could be monetized because of a of a song I did I didn't do a video know you only did YouTube I mean I only did a live stream yesterday after open the boxes soon as my camera shut off and we played desk training for a couple hours live stream a live stream let's get to some business and see what we got going on as we all know my day starts as soon as I click on a new day oh nothing going on actually I had some orders yesterday, big orders. Let's check on some feedback. I got a negative positive feedback the other day.

We talked about it. Fast shipping well-packed item I described, great value, excellent seller. That was the orange of the tender game cube top cover. Fast shipping, well-packed, item I described, great value, and excellent seller. And that was for gaming ghosts, fast shipping well packed, I miss described, great value, excellent seller. There's a whole bunch of things from one seller, I mean one buyer, rather. Inside dental basket, brackets, trash, I gave them some ports. This is all for GameCube, power buttons times 10.

So, actually, it was all those, all those four were from one seller, one buyer, pretty awesome. help you know and plus we also have the auto ebays but still do thank goodness i've had 271 auto feedbacks they come out positive you don't see them as a buyer but i see them as a sell on my seller account and they're coming up as just uh delivered on time no issues what it says oh wonder if I'm getting five full stock get back

so if you didn't have any sales over night they were going to list some more stuff and my goal is to get to

2,000 things for listing which really takes a long time to do that so plus I sell a lot of stuff

as I as they go along so we list I still have my big sale, which is like 30%, and I throw another 5%. So 35%, of course, I always still get best offers, but sometimes I'll take it. I had an offer on a special box yesterday. I didn't want to take it too well. And it was a really low offer.

And I may take that, though. I'll give me a sale. I'm going to sell. a little bit more but I'll put an extra ten dollars I'll I'll sell it to that'll give me a sale not quite what I wanted but it's an empty box it's for the TRS 80 it's a warm box 26 1001 so they wanted to use it to make a museum something but they say he had no I said sorry this comes off as a low ball but it's not the complete box it actually is the complete

I don't know what he's talking about. I want to put it in a low-key museum. I'm not, and I am tight on a budget. Well, I live tight on a budget. So, they're doing a really low offer, and then also adding a message like that does not motivate me in any way. It actually does the opposite, because, yes, it is a complete box.

I'm just as much in a tight budget as you are. you are because this is all I do is selling wise and to have the option to be able to find this box that I'm selling so that you can put it in the museum is pretty significant I think so but we've decided to take it further that so ten dollars more than what he were doing I was like no that's fine because I didn't have any sales today wasn't for that so decided to have one sale today So my secondary payments are still plugging away, meaning Libris is my, but now I'm in, which is really awesome. So, you know, hopefully, I spent this money, this first loan kind of some things I wanted, plus the, the typical, I got that big lot of stuff, just kind of paid most of the sum of the back.

and then I keep something as I need so it's just like an up front loan basically I got a little bit of loan a little bit of income to throw to my so when we get this one paid off

and probably by spring or I'll be able to get another one and then that money I need to actually save it just basically getting money up front for a God forbid something that would happen

as things you keep talking about it I'm in prologue right now, but things are changing and actually Colan really accelerated it. I thought it was going to really change things quickly, but then we're kind of settled back down now, so we're okay right now. But there's more caretaking involved each day with me. One of the other was always just very self-sufficient, even at 85 driving, going, doing stuff, but it was winter's going to be long. I know that. And I almost chopped away at the first

Battoa, they got a long way to go now. Well, so it's pretty cool that it's something. What it does is, again, it's a loan based on your 10 years and being on eBay and X amount of sales and all that. It's not really a credit, so, because it comes right out. PayPal used to do that. I mean, I used to have PayPal connected. I used to do those all the time.

that really helped me out to get some stuff up front but now I need to do it more cautious finishing up my debt consolidation loan and all that stuff so hopefully another year maybe or so I'll get much more careful because at some point at any time I could be just completely on my own it's gonna change it every day but so far we're hanging in there so that's cool all right everyone so that's about it so I just have that want to know some good good feedback pretty cool work really hard on each and every order not perfect in any way try to be but I'm not quite there be as professionals I possibly can be and all that good stuff but you know things are you do it all

yourself it's hard to be do every department from shipping to listing to I can do all the departments here for my little store let's look at my raw store It says here, we have changed it now. So we have 28,000 parts. I have 1.5K followers. 99.7 is my feedback. And what's helped a lot is those extra feedbacks, auto feedbacks. We've had 11,539 feedbacks total,

but that's also all my purchases. Maybe I have maybe seven. thousand sellers are that 20,000 I sold see I want to do a difference from what I sold I should be up in 28,000 all those if this auto feedback would have happened way back when kept up with when I was doing it that would make a difference but at least it's here now pretty cool all right everyone so that's about it for today so going into the weekend enjoy your weekend and I will talk you tomorrow all right bye
