Well hey there and welcome back to another season of Retro Tech. Today we're starting off with a very difficult repair on a Sony PVM CRT monitor. Now this has become known as the red light of death. Today, we've actually got a 20M4U high resolution Trinitron in my shop here. It has the red light of death and we're gonna see if we can't get this fixed. That's what we're gonna do is get started with that repair this season. Please if you don't mind do hit the like button and let's get rolling and check out the red light of death. All right, here we have today's repair subject the Sony PVM 20M4U and to get started I made sure that all the internal boards and everything inside the CRT were connected properly and there was no visible issues back here and that's the first thing I did because the client who owns this CRT did let me know that when they power it on it just has the red light and so before I even power it on and test that I opened it up and made sure everything in here looks good and everything looks normal. So what I need to do now is just power it on. I do have power going into it with this power cable right here and let's just see and verify that we have the red light of doom here. Okay, there you go. So I do feel some tube energy here and there's our red light right there. Let me turn out the There we go. Maybe you can see it a little bit better now. That's our red light and again nothing on the screen none of the buttons light up down here at all. We just have our power indicator. So we have some power to it. So there's some kind of issue here. So I'm going to start by inspecting our G board over here, which is the power supply on this PVM. Now I'm going to expand it out and we're going to run a couple of tests with my multimeter here, the voltmeter, and we will see if this power supply is outputting the proper voltage we need to run the PVM and that might be our issue is something in this power supply. But that's where we want to start because if we don't have good power the monitor is never going to work right. Now I went through and tested this power supply and I definitely have an issue. There is no 5 volt power coming from this 5 volt line right here on the main connection and look I'm just telling you this first off that this is a very dangerous test to run because you have to have live voltage coming in to the power supply and then it's being output right here. So you have to make sure you have a safe environment and you have to know what you're doing. Now I did make an entire video on how to do this test and test all these voltages a couple years ago. And I will link that right up here in the corner for a reference if anybody wants to go check that out. Basically you run through and you test the voltages with your voltmeter and I'm not getting any voltage off the 5 volt so that's an issue that if I don't get that 5 volt power I will not be able to get all the functionality on the CRT. So there's a 5 volt problem on this power supply. What can I do? Well, thankfully I have a replacement power supply for the M series PVM that will work with this CRT. Here we have our original power supply with the bad 5 volt rail and before I really invest a lot of time in repairing this I'm going to use a good power supply. This is completely refurbished. It has all new capacitors, has a full solder reflow done to the board, you can tell in there. So it's ready to go and it's tested and it outputs great stable voltage. So we're just going to pop this one in here and we're going to have to give it a test run. I'll turn that light out and let's just, oh, whoa. All right, great. So we do have our light come on here and oh, if we look over here we've got some light power light down here to the input board, which we did not have originally and look at that. We have the screen light up and that's really good. Look at that. We got no sync. That's normal. Nothing's being put into the CRT right now and check it out. Oh yes, we have all these. Oh yeah, check it out up there. Do you see that red line? We have a red line from the vertical blanking line. Let's go under scan. Maybe we can see it in under scan mode. I'm not sure. Let's get out of the menu. There it is. See our blanking lines here. They're supposed to be nice and tight up at the top of the screen, but they're leaning and that's a sign that we have more issues. Thankfully, this is something we can fix pretty easily with a capacitor kit, but that is on the main board. So I'm going to pull the board and we'll try to get this fixed, replace these capacitors that I'll show you, and we'll see if we can get rid of these red, green, and blue lines, which is another documented issue that can be related to the failure of the red light of doom on the PVM. The 20M4U is broken open and I've got the main board and neck board extracted out of here. So while I've got no boards back here, it gives me a chance to show you one of the reasons the 20M4U is so much more special than just even the M2 series, and it has to do with partially because of this right here, the deflection yoke. This is an extremely beefy deflection yoke that is the similar style to the ones that are inside BVMs. So you get a lot better performance from this yoke, and of course this tube is a 800 line tube, but this yoke is a higher performance yoke. It also has better controlling up here up top where you can actually stick a screwdriver in here and you can adjust these three different types of convergence adjustments on the screen if that is necessary, and you also can use this yoke on the 20 inch to rotate the screen without actually moving the yoke. It can do that through software on the PVM. And just to give you an idea, these are two other yokes that you would find in the 20M series. Now this one will be a little bit more desirable on that M series because you get two of these potentiometers to make those adjustments still to your convergence right there in the top of the yoke and this would have been the better yoke to get for your 20M2 series, but you also could get one like this which has just some wheels on top of it that are epoxied into place. You'll see right here and you actually have no adjustment potentiometers on this one, so you can't make really any fine tune adjustments to this yoke for convergence aside from using the rings and the other methods that will drive you crazy. So you know this is probably the worst of the three, better and then by far this would be the best deflection yoke. Now if we take a look at the boards from inside the back of the CRT, they are over here at the workstation and I've got a complete cap kit ready and our problem caps are going to be these in this area within the heat sink zone over here. These are all deflection capacitors and they've gone bad and need to be changed, all of them, every single one of these in here and a couple more over on this and anything kind of next to a heat sink and then we're going to change out these also. So I'm going to go ahead now remove all those bad capacitors, install the new kit and we'll see if that won't clear up our problems with the red, green and blue line dropping into our vision. Well hey, you're still here. Thanks for hanging out, listening to me talk about this CRT and I promise I'll get right back to the repair but before I do that I wanted to take an opportunity to ask you a question. What do you guys think of some kind of a class or an opportunity for us to maybe meet and get together and do like again a repair kind of a clinic, like something where you could bring your questions to me, you could work through things together, I would have maybe a CRT or something like that set up kind of like a new CRT retro tech class. What do you think? If you think that would be something that you'd be interested in please let me know by writing something in the comments below and again if that's something that you'd even consider traveling to or you know there would be costs involved so what do you think? Do you think you'd be interested in something like that and no matter what if you are interested in something like that I do have a live show and that's pretty much the whole premise of the live show where we're working on things and that's about as close to that experience as I can offer for free right now so if you want to check out the live show called The Bunker it is on the channel here and it's generally daytime middle of the day you can definitely check that out please do so and again if you have any ideas let me know in the comments what do you think about a live show a style class where you could be there and be a student along with the CRT master himself anyway let's get back to that m-series pvm repair all right the chassis has been rebuilt well not a hundred percent rebuilt but we did wind up replacing 28 capacitors in this deflection area and over in this area in the hot zones cleaned everything and it looks really really nice afterwards I also went through and reflowed the solder on all these transformers you know you have the big obvious flyback transformer here but also went through in these little inductors all those got reflowed the ICs and then like this is a transformer that's little there's another little transformer down in here so those are all done and serviced here's all the capacitors check it out these are all the old capacitors that's just the deflection kit everything's been pieced back together back in here again this has been serviced and off-camera I went ahead and serviced the neck board because I'm confident we're going to fix that so that's all been recapped and you can see it's got fresh solder on there and then everything's been cleaned and this is untested since all these repairs and I know it's probably going to work unless I screwed something up but what I'm going to do now is I'm going to power I've already got power going into this Super Nintendo or Super Famicom now we're going to power on the monitor and then we'll see if the screen image pulls up and if we have any other issues as it loads here what we're looking for again are the red green and blue lines here it comes everything's looking good and look at that wow I don't see anything nothing no lines let me let me change inputs so you can see where it says no sync like it did before and you always would see a red and a green line and then there's nothing so we've corrected that the capacitors that I told you about did fix that so what I need to do now is well I need to let this run a little while make sure everything in there gets warmed up and then I will make some adjustments and I'll show you what it looks like after I finish it up all right everybody here it is I've got it all put back together and it's working great not a single issue I've adjusted it and it is ready to go and if you want to know more about the Sony pvm 20m for you I did an amazing detailed video on this pvm and everything it does and all the features and goodies of this crt are in that video and I will link it right here and you could check that out at your convenience but this one is in great shape and we've solved this riddle of the red light on the tally light now the tally just flashes really briefly and it does not stay lit like it did before power comes on like you've seen a couple times here actually using component video this time and again if you want to know more about this amazing monitor check out that video but this one's done all right there you have it the pvm 20m for you is done and everything's good to go on that thing and I wanted to leave you with a couple notes here because this red light problem it could be more complicated than what I encountered today in this video so just getting good power into the monitor that might not be the only issue you could have more problems that are related to circuits inside the monitor in the main chassis and when that happens this repair becomes a lot becomes a lot more complex and sometimes it even becomes unrepairable and the abore just pretty much has to become a parts pvm at that point but the best approach is to always try to make sure that your power is good because you can rule out the power supply as being an issue if the power is good so again if you need more information on how to check out the power supply check out the m-series video I did a couple years ago it's going to have totally all that information and it's going to tell you everything you need to check out on your m-series monitor if you happen to get one or if you're considering getting one well that's going to finish up the first repair of the day the first repair of the season the new season here at retro tech thank you again for joining me please do make sure you subscribe because next episode we're going to be looking at the largest crt collection in the state of virginia and that's my own collection so hopefully you'll be subscribed up so you can check out that tour and i'll show you everything i've got here in this shop location plus the other shop locations i have around town you get to see that and more on the next episode and i'll see you all next time with some more retro content


And good morning. We are at the testing center for yet another Radiology exam for me to take you may remember from my last video about a year ago. I filmed it right here right at that testing site If you don't remember you can click up here I did a whole kind of video talking about all the exams We have to take in residency and med school and all that stuff all the exams that doctors have to take However, this is the last time I have to take this exam the radiology certifying exam I'm not really sure why we have to take it Because I already passed boards like eight months ago, and this is just more of a formality per se But nonetheless, I have to take another exam And I'm going to try to take it as fast as possible because We are going to the airport right after this so Babe wish me luck Good luck Dr. Cellini So she just dropped me off. I'm a run-inside take the exam and we are going to the airport right afterwards So the test is over and now we are going to get some breakfast before we catch our flight So the test is over it went pretty well I mean it doesn't really matter, but it's amazing how much you remember of all that stuff Even though it's been like a year since I've even studied all of it Anyways, it went well. You know, it doesn't matter and now we're gonna get some breakfast I ended up taking the exam in like 30 minutes, which I think you're allotted like an hour and 45 minutes to take it, but I didn't really need that long because I've taken these tests for like four years now And it's pretty easy at this point even though I didn't study at all Because it doesn't matter and I already passed boards. So anyways, I have officially told you why we are going to the airport today We are flying to Cleveland, Ohio, and I haven't been to Cleveland, Ohio since like 1999 when my grandpa died, so it's been quite a bit of time But my dad is born and raised there and he currently lives there. He actually just moved back recently So we're gonna go take a visit and see what Cleveland, Ohio is like And yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The only thing that I'm worried about is it is snowing all weekend which I'm actually pretty excited for because We haven't experienced snow down here yet. It's been a pretty warm winter But the only issue is we may not be able to fly out or fly home So we'll see how it goes and I'll take you along for the journey As you can see we are back at the we are at the hotel in Cleveland We are just getting ready for dinner aka. I'm ready and Geron is getting ready for dinner with my dad That's pretty much it. I don't know where we're going apparently it's supposed to be really good a local favorite if you will and That's all I got so we're gonna go to dinner and See how it goes and we officially made it back at home We had that crazy good dinner ate a whole bunch of Italian food and now We're hitting the hay. So I'll see you guys in the morning And good morning, it is Saturday We woke up this morning. Let's go straight to the Starbucks across the street What's about this? You know what the wine is doing? No, I can't fit in there Just when the Starbucks we're going to grab breakfast somewhere around Cleveland with the pops and See where that goes and then we were going to make his famous meatballs later, which I'm super excited for Atlanta film all that Where's pops breakfast time pops? Say hello pops Step one. Already made meatballs that we will be making soon Oh Wait, so you brown these for how long children brown Would you say you brown them till they're brown? And while these cook we'll enjoy some pizza With some wine That's good, which deglaze the pain. Oh, yeah, we deglaze the pain now we have my tomatoes some crushed tomatoes crushed tomato Cooks about 90% how much are these drops? 80% put them the rest of the way in the sauce Good morning, it is now Sunday morning. I am walking outside and it's snowing a little bit, which is pretty sweet Last night we had a fantastic time just drinking Wine sorry the music was so loud in there anyways got my server's coffee. We are getting ready Because we're going to the airport right now And then we were going to grab. Oh wait, what am I talking about? I haven't had coffee yet. We are Getting dressed and going to brunch with my pops one last time before we head to the airport later today So had a fantastic time so far. Let's finish it all strong with a nice brunch the other season. Oh Wait, we can go over there. Oh Breakfast time. Say hey pops Say say say hey to the say hey to the blog I blog And we are back at the airport Cleveland Airport Ready to head back home now. We have a layover So two flights today. Hopefully they get out on time Hopefully there's no snow and yeah, that is what the next five hours are to go to Traveling again. So I think it's pretty safe to say we had a Fantastic time in Cleveland, Ohio or we spent most of our time in Wallyville, Ohio Which is like a small suburb of Cleveland. But either way, we had a good time. We toured pretty much everywhere Went down a little Italy ate a whole bunch I Honestly ate so much this weekend. We ate Whole spaghetti meatballs a cake pastries yesterday and this morning I said I wasn't gonna eat anything because I ate so much last night And we had a huge brunch and we'll be working out every hour this week I can't stand her so I'll be working out pretty much every day of this week and That's pretty much it look at her. I can't even we ate so much. All we did was eat And I feel like I weigh Thousand pounds so we're gonna work out every day this week and eat pretty much lettuce only for a week to recover And yeah, and we go back to work tomorrow, which is unfortunate Even though I'm on the ICU and I haven't told you guys about the ICU yet because I've been on the ICU for two weeks now and have two weeks left So I'll probably do a whole video on why I'm doing the ICU rotation and All that stuff. So stay tuned for that video so we have a We have two flights to catch now so we have two flights to catch now and Let's see how it goes We are officially back at home, which means this video has come to an end So as always make sure you smash that like a subscribe button and follow me on Instagram if you don't already Leave a comment below if I like it I'll respond to it You didn't even hit the fade. Yes. Hey, otherwise, we'll see you in the next video Hit this


What's up, how are you guys this week? It's actually Sunday down at Frankie's Free Range Meet. A little bit going on tomorrow and Tuesday, so I wanted to keep you guys updated on the always new and exciting stuff we have going on. And just to start off, I did wanna say, when you guys support me and my businesses, you know your money is going to trustworthy and honest people, I guess more relevantly, not in the hands of elite-owned businesses who love to have houses in the Hamptons, private islands, Mercedes for their daughters. When I deal with these Amish people, these small local businesses, I'm paying them in some cases two to three times what these large corporate chains are scamming them for. You know the dairy we were gonna do for instance, you know they're paying these Amish farmers like less than $2 a gallon for the highest quality milk and then charging five, six times that in the supermarket. So hopefully as we continue to grow, things work out over the next few years. You guys are going to have the highest quality products. You can know at least someone has some integrity left and you're going to get them at the best price available. So let's read some reviews to start off real quick from my lovely customers. Five-star review for the pasture-raised eggs, corn and soy-free, eggs look so pure. Wow, is what I had to say when seeing the yolk of these eggs. I had never seen such a deep pure orange color. They're definitely corn and soy-free. I love eating eggs so I feel I know quality and these are the highest I've seen probably ever. Also there were no cracked eggs as it was probably sealed with bubble wrap. I can't wait to finish my 144 eggs. So by more, thanks Frank. So we actually have eggs available in lower quantities on frankiesurangefoods.com if you guys are like that. And starting this week, I did get the farmer to also do hypoallergenic eggs. So if you can't really tolerate normal eggs, maybe buy a dozen or two dozen of the hypoallergenic eggs to try out on frankiesurangefoods. Maybe we'll crack those open later, do a side-by-side. I'll explain them. Just check in towards the end of the video. Five-star review for the beef share. The smoked sausage is very smoky. Looking forward to trying the spiced ones. The hot dogs are delish. Hopefully the pork share goes back in stock soon so I can give that one a try. We will have the shares back in stock this week guys and we're also going to do a little tasting video of the new product so I'm pretty excited to show that when we hop in the freezer too. Five-star review for the collagen bone broth. I love to scoop it out of the jar from the fridge and eat it with a spoon. It's like jello, very delicious and nutty taste. I think I'll be getting some more of this. As much as we have a limited amount of prepared products, hopefully at some point in time we have a full kitchen and we're doing that stuff so you guys spend a lot less time in the kitchen and you have really delicious high quality products especially things like the roast beef and the fire roaster by that I've been enjoying making. So last week all of that meat came in for the shares, the beef, the pork. What also came in was our first batch of potato chips and I didn't put it in the title of this video. I didn't announce them. I didn't send out any emails because he only made like 40 bags and they sold out like the first day I just threw them up on the website. So hopefully we can get like the full batch within this week next week. So this is what they look like. Nice thick plastic bag. I mean all the chips for the most part stayed whole. I was very impressed with how they packaged them. They're gonna change up the type of potato and maybe cook them a little longer but guys these are so delicious, organic potatoes, fried and coconut oil. I felt so good after eating these. I would always get headaches from the grocery store but we'll talk more about these next week when we have the full product in stock. Everything on Frankie's Syringe Foods for the most part is in stock guys. We've got the whey protein, the flex throws, the berry vanilla chocolate best bars, the organic rice crisp bars are back in stock. Just restocked some of the plain beef jerky as well. We threw a little bit of salt on it this time guys. Let me know how you like it. And of course my new favorite product. The very vegan cookies made with white chocolate, minimally inflammatory. I sleep great when eating these because the white chocolate doesn't have caffeine so definitely be sure to check out Frankie's SyringeFoods.com guys. So a lot of you guys were asking for beef liver over the past few weeks.  We also have a new organ grind. This has always been a very popular product so it should be about the same because it is the same ratios of everything but let me know how you like this in comparison guys. The eye round rows are back in stock. Some of you guys like buying a lot of these. We have plenty of suet fat. However, we did get some shrimp fat too. Limited amount of the shrimp fat but we do have some. Since we have a limited amount of space in the fridge we haven't been able to completely organize the shares yet and list them. But by Wednesday or Thursday of this week I should have all of the new shares available. I'll just go later into this video where I will be taste testing the new products and talking about them a little more and all these boxes back here, those are the beef tendons, well supposed to be but we're actually ligaments. So those are gonna be listed as beef ligament chew toy. So we have the regular pet food and those ligament chews which are gonna be like two or three dollars each. Just give them to your dog. It's like a high quality grass fed pet treat option. Now some of you guys have purchased the pet food and your cat or dog didn't like it. I just issue a refund. I don't really care guys. I've already lost a lot of money on the product so don't feel as if like, oh I bought 10 of this, my pet doesn't like it. I'm losing out.  Don't worry about it. So we were out of some of the cheeses for about a week but everything is fully back in stock guys. Asiago, blue cheese, Emmental or Gouda, Parmesan, we have Pecorino, Manchego, American Shedder, Gruyere, everything, Fontina as well. These are actually the different eggs. So here we have the hypoallergenic eggs and the regular eggs. After we taste the new farm products, just go after that, we'll take a look at the eggs too. All the other businesses are looking good guys so if you're not familiar, just check out frankdashupon.com. You can see all of them but since we have a lot to talk about today on the meat and foods stuff, we'll do that right now. So we've showed you guys the regular corn and soy free eggs in the past. Now we're gonna do a side by side comparison with the hypoallergenic eggs and I will explain the color difference. Now the color differences here are very, very obvious. You have the typical deep orange, almost reddish, pasture raised, high quality as people are used to. And then we have eggs that are actually way lighter and paler than any eggs you haven't seen before. And without divulging too much information, this is a minimally inflammatory, organic, grain based, no corn, no soy, detox feed for the chicken. So I figured if the chickens are on a minimally inflammatory diet with no allergens, the eggs are gonna be the same. This feed is much more expensive. Maybe it's a little bit lower in fat soluble vitamins but I think you guys are gonna tolerate these a little better if you don't normally tolerate eggs so they're definitely worth a shot. The downside is these are gonna be like a dollar or two more per dozen. And hopefully as the chickens continue to be on this feed, they're even more and more and more hypoallergenic. So you guys can try these out. Let me know how you like the difference but I'm excited to have these products and hopefully eventually a few years down the line when I have my own farm, I'll even fine tune that feed a bit further myself and have even higher quality, more nutritious, less inflammatory animal foods for you guys. Pretty cool, huh? So this time around, the beef share has two new products and I actually forgot to bring home the pork share is gonna have just regular pork chops but you guys have an idea of what that is. So this is beef scrapple, kind of similar to spam except much, much higher quality ingredients. Scrapple is typically made with pork but I know you guys like beef. And then we have snack sticks. We have plain cheese and syrup which was supposed to be honey but I guess my Amish buddy is getting a little fried with radiation over there too. So if you guys are unfamiliar with scrapple, it's when you take all the bones of the animal, you boil them, get like the rich gelatinous, meaty chunks, blend it all together with grains. So this is made with very high quality, organic barley, organic oats and heirloom corn.  So it's kind of like a soft texture. The difference between this and liverwurst is that this has grains in it whereas liverwurst is just like pure fat and protein. So this is much better from like a liver health perspective and a balance of macronutrients perspective. So just like spam, you can slice this up, fry in a pan, grate for breakfast. And since it's already cooked, you don't have to cook it again. Very mild. Yeah. This is very happy with how this turned out. I told him to put a little bit of honey or maple syrup in this. I don't think he did, but it's the texture, it's so creamy. This is amazing. Ultimate survival food here. Ultimate survival food. And that tastes good. Fat, protein, carbs. Made in between this and the pomegranate is that. You know, it has starchy carbs and some fiber. I wouldn't say it's hyper palatable, but if there was honey in this, it would be. Very good. Very, very good. So then we have the plain snack sticks. And if you don't know what these are and me myself as a New Yorker, like to me, this is kind of like Hick food for lack of better terminology. It's like a very smoky, thin sausage, I would call it. They like blend up the meat, salt and then smoke it. So it's like, you can eat it, you know, you don't have to cook it or prepare it or do anything to it. Now, I've had snack sticks before and because this is high quality beef, even though it's very smoky, you still get some freshness and some brightness from the meat. Again, like the scrapple, this isn't hyper palatable.  It's a nice source of protein, rise with all of the other meats we have in the share for the most part. They need to be cooked or prepared. The scrapple and the snack sticks are kind of good to go. So now we have one with syrup, which is maple syrup, even though I told them to do honey. It's okay. Honestly, I'm not that much of a fan, so you guys are probably gonna get this one in the share for free. I'm not gonna charge you for it and it's still pretty good though. And now we have the cheese snack stick and for this I used Emmentaler, which is a Swiss cheese. It's very, very smoky. So you don't get too much of the cheese flavor, but as you chew it, you can tell there's like a mild Swiss flavor. So maybe next time around we'll use like a really sharp cheddar cheese in this. Still very good. I like the cheese ones the best. Very good. So I think you guys are gonna like these a lot. Scrapple is definitely my new favorite product that we have. Anyway, I'm gonna have to stop myself before I eat this whole thing. As always, thank you guys for joining me today. We will have the Hypoallergenic Eggs listed on the website and the shares might not be available today, but they will be by Wednesday or Thursday of this week. You're gonna get so much stuff in the beef and pork shares, guys. I'm sure everyone's gonna be really happy and excited with the quality of the meat. I haven't had one complaint yet and we've sold several hundreds of them so far. So be sure to go to frankiesurainfoods.com as well as frankiesurainfoods.com to check out our high quality products that you cannot get anywhere else. You can go to every Amish farm in your state and no one is making it with as high quality ingredients as I am. Be sure to check it out, guys.

Well, that's the thing. This is the nuance of Lord of the Rings. A lot of people consider it a very simple story, but like I feel like a lot of this is telling us like very good people can have flaws that can lead to very dark paths if they're not, you know, in Stullwater sort of thing, but there's always a way back, that sort of stuff. But it cannot stay in the Shire! No! You must leave, and leave quickly. I'll be waiting for you at the end of the Prancing Pony. Hobbits really are amazing creatures. And that's what Tolkien was on about. I mean, you know, World War One tore people away from where they lived their whole lives and sent them to, basically sent them to hell, sent them to mortal. You're compounding all Samwise Ganji! Have you been eavesdropping? I've been dropping no eavesdropping. And throughout history, that's why people used to, you know, the peasants used to join the Lord's army or whatever, because that was their chance to go somewhere. Rip them all down. Rip them all down. Destroying nature. I know obvious, but still something I just want to acknowledge is like the soundtrack reflects like the naturalistic sort of elements with the Shire, and then with the bad guys very much clanking metal. I think the Lord obviously represents that as like an industrial version of... Well, and some of it is like the actually using chains. It's got that din, din, din, din, din, din, din. Before like the brass comes in. And that's like all you see. Seriously, that's like one of the biggest core elements of all of Lord Rings, I think, is that we should work together. I'm not hurt. Over and over, they show them working together and watching out for each other, even when Gandalf was illuminating off the side of the cliff, which I think we should be doing if you're trying to lay low. Even as like, as Mary like starts to peer over the edge, Pippin like kind of holds his chest, like don't fall. Just like all the little things like that that show that they're watching out for each other. I don't think Pippin is such lads. Oh yeah. Over here! This way! It's working! I know he's working! Run! This is where I mean, Barmy is... There's this moment here where there's like, they know they're leading these guys to their deaths. Barmy's sacrifice is built on another two different characters. His choice to sacrifice. Yeah. Gives him his chance. It's all about that teamwork. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. This is the essence of what Tolkien despised. Just the want and destruction of the natural environment. Oh, it's so perfectly captured. Everything is brushed onto the wheels of, of batteries and... The smog, the instumption. Gray, the dirt, the smoke, and it's just all covered up. There's no more greens. They're all getting... There's nothing living.   But it's, it's a great like representation of, I guess, the practicalities of life back then. If you were a lad of like at least 14, 15, you're probably gonna have to go to war.  Yeah. For all the men here as well, signaling the desperation of this situation that they need everybody that they can get.  They don't all die, so that's nice.  I can argue this speech applies to a hell of a lot more than what he's talking about in the vein of the creative arts having been crushed. I mean, I say this as if you haven't done that with a lot of your videos, Gary, like this. Yeah, I put this in as much as I can, because it's very applicable.  How did it come to this? I ask myself that every day. It's great to watch films like this, though, every once in a while and remind yourself, like, this is what movies can do for you.  You didn't just become cynical. You didn't just decide I don't like films anymore.   There was definitely a process to get where we are today. You're saying it took a while? It took a minute. It also feels deliberate giving the bad guys crossbows or mechanical, right? Yeah, it's more industrial and mechanical. Yeah. Yeah. Even small bits like that are always quite like, there's so many of them are not ready to go toe-to-toe with one of those fuckers. Like, they're so vicious. And then that door open. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, give us why. You really get the impression of like, this is the new world versus the old. Like, they are not equipped to deal with this kind of siege warfare, like the new, the gunpowder, these like spring powers. All this stuff that like just overcomes all their defenses. I love that. This actually permeates so much of the story. Like, this could be the last time we do this.  Angry trees. Well, the allegory is getting pretty over it now.  No, there's a guy who catches on fire.   Sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? Why are you going to do this to me, Sam? What the reason doesn't do is strictly like what hundreds of happy eddig. No, it doesn't. There's a cost. There's a cost to any victory. And that cost isn't always immediately obvious.  It's just, they even mentioned within the book, it's a little thing. This little thing is so destructive and so hard to get rid of and so manipulative and everything has weight and gravity to it and that's the verisimilitude, I'll use RMB's term, that works for this film is when they grounded it, what their approach to it was, we want to make this historical. We're not making a fantasy, we're making a historical biopic. Those were the stories that stayed with you that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. I think it kind of worked. Uh, you can say that. I think they did okay with it. Yeah, there it is. This is that moment when you're joking with friends but you're actually serious. Yeah, which mean it's just what an effective way of demonstrating just how toxic and corrosive the ring is. How quickly it can happen. We're out fishing and now they're fighting each other to the death. That's not a good thing. But we're still clawing for it as well. Yeah. Ugh. Must be getting your tea time this way, so it would be in decent places. We're not in decent places. We're not in decent places. I don't think he'll be coming back. In a way you will not. We're going there and back again, just like Mr. Bilbo. You'll see. But I mean, yeah, it's a nice reassurance but I mean, you know, Frodo's right. It's just a lot going on and it's like layer one is, you know, just a general worry. He's like, really? That layer two is like, he did. Yeah, of course, the lay down is sure. You can physically come back. You can go back to the Shire physically after surviving your journey, but the journey exacts a toll. And it's something that I think a lot of people even who love these films didn't quite understand fully of what was being said with that. Well, I feel like it's a super important part of the story. The idea that, you know, the quest costs him something. It's one of them scenes that can be analyzed day and night for a thousand years. Yep. It feels like more than the sum of its past. This seems like this. I think so. Definitely. Absolutely. I think so. Well, it feels like commentary on war beyond the film, beyond the story itself. Symbolism.  I mean, while all of these men riding out to their needless deaths. Needless deaths.  Yeah. And then when you add on the elements as well, right, of Boromir and Faramir is like a big motivating element of this happening in the first place. Even Gandalf's sad.  Yeah, just tragic. The senseless death. She's talking about herself. It's a textual. You know, as little of war as that hobbit. Well, this is the thing about these movies is like you've got this attitude from Aomir that can seem like mean and restrictive and narrow minded.  He's been there. He knows what this is. He's been through it.  War is the province of men, Ewin.   Yeah, you don't want to be. You have to do this. Consider yourself the lucky one that you don't have to do this and we do. It's a totally different approach than what we see nowadays, which is yeah, war is awesome and girls, guys, they get it done. It's one of the most interesting things that Ragnarok, well, man, Ragnarok does so many interesting things. I don't know how to say that. Something that's so cool about Ragnarok is that they have the big hype moment of, yeah, let's go. And then as soon as the battle begins and the music kicks in, it just creates the vibe of, oh, this isn't, this is war and this is not, this is not good. Nobody wants this back. Yeah, like screaming and the tension in the music. For reference, he's saying got a war Ragnarok, not Thor Ragnarok. No, not Thor Ragnarok. I mean, again, I like the joke, but now those foundations are gone. Carl Irvin was in Thor Ragnarok. He was. He was in Thor Ragnarok. He went on and on. He did. Remember when he was a good character? He actually had it. Yeah, that's crazy. He gave his life defending people. Defending Asgard. He had that one extremely cool shot where he was wielding a dual machine. Two M16s with it.  What a great character. And he just showed up for that movie. Introduced it as he got them from Texas. Well, here comes another amazing scene. Yep, sorry, there's just too many in a row. You would call upon them to fight. They believe in nothing.  The traitors, murderers. It's just on theme for Lord of the Rings that you have your path to redemption, even the army of the ghosts sort of. Imagine how horrible that curse is.  It's like, are they still aware that they were once men, but they are just like these Autons for Sauron now?  The war lies to the east. You cannot leave on the eve of battle. You cannot abandon the men. I think the thing that checks them is they're just a one off. I mean, there are multiple instances throughout this trilogy of characters who brush against or almost become redeemed. You have Smeagol. You have Grima. You have, of course, the ghosts. Bad things have happened. Can you ride that road? Well, yeah, that's all we could do. How do you run the gamut on that? We get like all the people who do, all the people who, like people who don't necessarily, you know, like Theoden, he feels like a lot of what he's doing is redeeming his lack of having been in part to important events or something. It's just like there's no need to feel that way necessarily. But then you have Barmyr who really is making up for a huge mistake. Theoden's also, I mean, lack of being a good king and lack of being a good parent. I missed you, Joey, since the first I saw you. I guess in a way, you would obviously blame himself for what happened with Grima and Saruman's holdover. And it's good to see, like, the results of all these different characters and where they go is some make one decision, some make the other. Yeah. Some, you know, die for it in a good way, some die for it in a bad way. But you see that variety. And so it's easy to sort of communicate that message of redemption. Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness of dwarves? We're going with you, Lennie.  You got to work for it. Yep. It's not something that you can just stumble into. It requires very focused, directed effort. Yeah, you got to want to change. It is a difficult thing. And it wouldn't have value if it was an easy thing to do. Right? It's very nature. It might entail a great deal of suffering and strife and, you know, work.   It gets him killed. I feel like this is so absent from so many films, the acknowledgement of the cost of these victories.  That man is... Car Urban giving it all he's got. That moment gives way more context. What are you saying to it earlier?

Duplicating some tabs to put reports in like we're going to do every time right clicking the tab up top to duplicate it. I'm going to right click the tab up top to duplicate it again. I'm going to do it one more time so we can open up our inventory report as well. Right click in the tab up top and duplicating going back to the middle tab which was duplicated reports on the left hand side. Let's open up the balance sheet reports as it's thinking tab into the right reports on the left. This time the profit and loss the P and L the income statement tab into the right reports on the left. This time I'm going to type in inventory because I want an inventory report inventory. Let's do the inventory valuation summary and then let's go back to this balance sheet tab and do our date ranges. I'm going to close the hand boogie and let's do 120125 to 123125 and I will run that one and then tab into the right. Close in the hand boogie range to the change from 010 not 012125 to 123125 and run that one. Nothing's in it thus far tabbing to the right one more time closing the hand boogie and let's put this up to 123125 and run it. So in a prior presentation we talked about we've been following the flow of the inventory cycle in a normal kind of on ground type of situation. Managing the inventory with QuickBooks using a perpetual inventory system so we can then compare the differences of that situation to an e-commerce type of situation. Last time we talked about the vendor side of the purchasing cycle we bought the inventory in other words and you could do so with a purchase order and then a bill and then the paying of the bill or you might just have an electronic transfer that's going to hit the bank feeds for the purchase of the inventory. When we purchase the inventory traditionally we want to be putting it on the books as an asset because we haven't yet consumed it in order to generate revenue. And then when we sell the inventory if we have a perpetual inventory system we're going to be decreasing the inventory at the same point in time that we record the sales. You can imagine if it was an on ground situation that happening at like a cash register or you can imagine an invoicing situation but let's imagine like a cash register because that's similar to an e-commerce type of situation. So at this point in time now for following the inventory we've got the inventory on the books on the balance sheet in the account of inventory. It's recorded at the cost of the inventory and then we have the inventory over here in our inventory valuation summary broken out by item of inventory units of items of inventory as well as the total cost value of the inventory which matches what's on the balance sheet. To do that if I tap to the left we have to add the inventory items so if I go back down to the sales and to the right to the products and services we added our inventory items in here in order to populate the bill and the purchase order and the payment. So now we're going to make a sale so let's imagine we're at the cash register on our store and we're going to someone comes up with products that they want to be purchasing right so we're going to say all right. Not an invoice because we're at the store so it's going to be a sales receipt type of transaction. So we'll enter the sales receipts starting out with the customer I'm picking generic customer number one as we do note that some businesses it's quite important to get a lot of information about the customer to facilitate whatever work that you've been contracted to do. And in other businesses it's not quite so important when we're looking at something analogous to a Shopify store which is usually geared towards selling high volumes of products and inventory. Then we usually aren't looking to get a whole lot of information about any particular customer other than the email address to try to get them on our email marketing list or something like that. So when we go into the Shopify as opposed to imagining an on ground situation selling at a cash register that information is probably going to be given to us through the Shopify platform. And then we have the question of when we pull it into QuickBooks do we need to repeat that information over here in QuickBooks. That's one of the issues that will come up when we do this through like a Shopify store instead of actually within the QuickBooks. So let's tap through this. I'm going to say the date of this is going to be 12 let's say 1525 and payment method I'll just leave it blank. We're going to go down to the items that have been sold. Let's say that we sold product product or produce to let's do some produce to let's sell five of those at 200. Notice that this is pulling in automatically for us because we entered the items. And so let's sell another one at the same time they also are coming up to the cash register with their produce as well as product number one. And let's say we sold seven of those. So they got seven product number one and five produce in their hand and that is geared for 1000. Okay. So let's keep it there. What's this going to do when we record it? This is analogous to if you are in an actual store and actually doing a self checkout. You can just scan your items and say yeah I got five produce two and seven product ones. And the total then is going to be 1700 note that we're not dealing with sales tax. We might turn on sales tax to add that level of complication into the factor. But without sales tax it's still a fairly complex transaction when I actually record it even though the data input is fairly easy and straightforward that transaction being because it's a sales receipt. It's going to be increasing either the checking account or you might put it into a clearing account which is often the case. QuickBooks Online calls it payments to deposit. Let's do that so we can kind of see why that is an issue because that will be an issue with the Shopify situation as well. So it's going to be increasing in essence a cash account but not the checking account yet the payments to deposit which is similar to undeposited funds and QuickBooks desktop. That's what it used to be called. And then the other side is going to go to revenue for the full amount 1700 and because we have a perpetual inventory system inventory is going to go down by the cost of these items which isn't actually on the sales receipt. But the system knows about it because we put the products in place and the related cost of goods sold the expense related to us selling the inventory is going to go up. So the net impact on net income will be the increase of 1700 minus the cost of goods sold on the income statement. And we're going to have our sub ledger our inventory tracked not only by dollar amount but also by units. So all that's taking place here. So let's check it out. I'll save and close save and close it. And then if I go to my balance sheet and run it now we put this amount in payments to deposit. There it is here and the others and then the other side is going to the revenue account. So if I go to revenue I can run revenue. So there's the 1700 in the revenue account and if I go back to the tab to the left inventory is going to go down. So here's our inventory account. If I go into it and then it's going down and it went down by these two amounts to line items because they put in there by line item even though it's the same sales receipt. And if I if I go into it there's no 750 for example on this form because it that's the cost it's going down by the cost not the sales price. So we don't actually see that you don't see the cost of the things when you check something out at the grocery store for example. So I'm going to close that back out and scroll back and exit this and then I'm going to go to the tab to the right and cost of goods sold is right there. So there's the cost of goods sold. And so notice that expense our inventory at the point in time that we sold it expense the inventory. So the impact on the income statement is sales minus the cost of goods sold is net income. Note that this cost of goods sold is being recorded on an accrual basis because no cat. We didn't actually pay for the inventory at this point in time when we paid for the inventory in a full service perpetual inventory system. We put the inventory on the books as an asset and then we expense it when we consume the asset to generate revenue. That's the issue with inventory because that becomes difficult because if we're trying to automate everything. We're trying to we're trying to do everything from a cash based system for the most part because that's the easiest thing to draw in to feed into our system. So we're going to have to deal with this perpetual inventory system possibly in a little bit different way when we go to our Shopify store. All right. If I go to the tab to the left my voice is going don't go voice. I need I need some coffee. Hold on. OK. So any case. So there's the nine thousand nine hundred and inventory assets. If I go to my report over here then and run this. Now it's tracking my units of products that I have left and it's giving me the dollar amount of of those units. We need to be tracking both of those things. Obviously knowing the quantity of units is quite important to logistically be able to fulfill any orders that might come in in the future. But we also need to know the dollar amount which usually is going to need some kind of flow assumption FIFO LIFO. When we're using a normal kind of inventory system like this with with products which we assume to be all similar in nature in order to do our financial statements. And we're going to need those possibly for taxes. Now if I compare that to Shopify if I look at this whole process and say well what what happens if I'm actually facilitating the sale on the Shopify or or some other you know platform Amazon or whatever we're doing then obviously this platform is the platform that's going to have the website that facilitates the sale. So instead of someone coming up to us with products in at a cash register they're going on to the point of our online presence with their goods that they virtually put into their their shopping cart. Right. And then they're going to and then they're going to check it out on the shopping cart. So that means that the transactions that are taking place in an e-commerce situation are being facilitated by of course the third party platform in some way shape or form. And that's going to have to track the inventory to some degree. So we're probably going to be putting our inventory units. But remember that's going to help us. So whenever I sell inventory on a on a Shopify platform for example it would likely reduce the units of inventory for us which is great for logistical purposes to make sure that we have an appropriate amount of inventory to meet the sales that we expect to happen in the future. But from our financial side the question is well now I've got to pull this into the financial statements and there's an added complexity with that inventory versus cost of goods sold and converting units to dollar amount problem when we go to the finance side. So that's one thing that we're going to have to deal with now. How could we possibly deal with that. Well I could say every sales transaction that happens on the Shopify level. Let's try to mirror that as if it happened in a point of sale system and try to pull each transaction into QuickBooks a entering it into QuickBooks as a sales receipt and then try to try to track the inventory from Shopify into QuickBooks. Most times people don't recommend that especially for smaller businesses oftentimes or midsize businesses before a few different reasons. One is that it's time consuming because then you've got you've got to enter the products over here if you're trying to pull in the inventory information with it and the products have to line up perfectly so you pull in the information it could line up to a product. The other reason is it's a bit redundant because you already have the sale information took place over here. So if you pull all that information into QuickBooks it might not you might overload QuickBooks because again the Shopify stores usually geared towards quantity. You want to have a lot of sales and if you pull in a whole bunch of sales of small items like five dollar items and you have a million sales. It's going to start to slow down over time your QuickBooks system. So so generally the idea is that we don't we don't want to pull over the whole information oftentimes but rather try to try to sum up the information that we're going to be pulling in from Shopify into QuickBooks and that's why we're going to break it down from instead of a perpetual inventory system. More likely to a periodic inventory system so that we can pull in that information possibly more efficiently. Also on the sale side the sale side already happened over here and there's also going to be costs related to the to a Shopify situation that are going to be charged for the service of Shopify and they might handle other stuff like refunds and stuff like that and possibly you can have to handle taxes in some way. So that stuff on the income side we're going to have to deal with when we pull that information into into our QuickBooks system. Not only the stuff in other words that would happen when we facilitate a sale if it was an on ground situation but the added fees that we have to deal with for the services being provided by the online platforms and possibly the payment processors. Alright so the other thing that we have to deal with is possibly sales tax and sales tax is a whole another kind of topic that gets gets into the weeds in a Shopify thing but for now let's just think about how sales tax generally works. So I'm just going to turn on a generic sales tax down here. So we're going to go to our taxes down below and we're going to say sales tax and I'm going to use automatic sales tax. Now this is great if you're having on some it's going to be picking my location here. I'm just going to turn this on fairly quickly just to get an idea of it. Tell us more about you. So do you need to collect sales tax outside of California. If it was an on ground store I'm going to say no which obviously simplifies situations when you're in an in an e-commerce situation then you got to that's a question. Do I am I subject to sales tax and what states and who's going to be collecting the sales tax and whatnot. Let's just see how the process works here. I'm not going to create an invoice and this is the sales tax that's going to be that's going to be populated based on my location that I put into the system. I'm going to say frequency. Let's say we pay it monthly. Okay. So that's that's just to turn on the sales tax. We might talk more about sales tax in a future presentation right now. I just want to see how that fits into a normal sales transaction. If you had it running within an on ground system. So if I go into the plus button again and let's make another sales receipt but this time we've got the sales tax running. Let's say this is going to go for customer number two generic customer number two. And the date 12 16 let's say and down here we're going to say that the item let's say we had item product number three. And let's say we sold three of those and it's subject to sales tax. I'm going to check it off. It's subject to sales tax. I should go into the items and say that it's subject to sales tax but product number one. Let's say two of that are subject and it's subject to sales tax. So now the system is calculating sales tax on it. So what does that do to our sales receipts transaction? Well it's a sales receipt. So it's still going to be increasing the payment to deposit the clearing account for the full amount the one thousand two oh four fifty. It's going to increase revenue driven by the items for the amount that we charged only one thousand one hundred not including the sales tax. The difference the sales tax is going to go onto the balance sheet account of sales tax payable which will then pay at a future point in time. And then of course the inventory is still going down not by the amounts on the sales receipt but driven by the items which knows that amount and the related cost to goods sold the expense is going up. So the new thing then is the sales tax. Now the thing with the sales tax is you can imagine the sales tax people get confused on how the sales tax is supposed to work because they start to pay sales tax. And they say well why don't I have a sales tax expense account on my income statement. And the reason is that in theory the sales tax is being imposed on the customer not on you the business. Therefore you shouldn't include sales tax in revenue. In other words you can imagine a situation where you say hey look I'm just going to record cash of one thousand two hundred and four fifty and revenue of one thousand two hundred four fifty. And then when I pay the sales tax I'll have an expense of one hundred four dollars and fifty cents revenue minus expenses will meet in net income in the same situation of the one thousand one hundred. In the same case it would be just like it would be the same bottom line why wouldn't I do that in other words. And the rationale is that that isn't revenue the one hundred four fifty although you're collecting it you're just the tax collector it's actually not revenue and therefore shouldn't be on the income statement. We're going to put on the balance sheet as a payable and then when you pay it you're not going to have an expense you're just going to decrease the payable. That's how they want to have it set up. Now of course that gets a little bit more complicated when the sales tax stuff is being taken care of by another by the Shopify store. So this is another wrinkle in our system here. So let's say let's save it and close it and see I'll show you what I'm talking about. And let's go to the balance sheet run it and we can see that now in this payments to deposit account we have multiple items in here. For we're going to just imagine their cash or whatever or a credit card for example that were that were charged on it that we need to put into the checking account at some point. The other side is going to revenue if I go into revenue let's run this revenue. And so now we've got the second sales invoice that happened and the revenue accounts are here but it's not including the sales tax in revenue. The difference between those two if I go back on over is back on the balance sheet. Let's run the balance sheet that I run the balance sheet before it's back on the balance sheet and it's under the payable account payable account. Here it is. I was looking for sales tax payable but they put it under under the name of the department that you need to pay possibly that makes it easier when you have multiple sales tax. But there it is. It's on the books as a liability because when you pay the sales tax you're not going to have an expense you're going to decrease the liability. And then of course inventory that's the new thing inventory went down just like before with the transaction. So inventory is decreasing and the related cost of goods sold is on the P to the L cost of goods sold went up. The impact on the income statement is the income not including sales tax minus the cost of goods sold. And if I go back to the balance sheet our inventory 9 1 2 0 matches our sub ledger over here 9 1 2 0 tracking the quantity and the total asset value that's over here on the balance sheet. Okay so there's that added wrinkle with the sales tax. Now obviously if you're in like a Shopify situation or an Amazon kind of situation the question is are you subject to sales tax and in which state are you subject to sales tax. If you have like an Amazon for example then the platform itself might be responsible for a lot of sales tax. We might dive into that more later but that could make things easy but some states might not have that be the case. And then the question is where you know are you subject to sales tax in the in the place of your physical location. But now you have an online location. So does that mean you're subject to sales tax and in different states because sales tax is different per state. So that gets messy. But just the logistics of collecting the sales tax right now is what we want to think about because obviously the sales tax needs to be collected at the point in time. That the sale happens which now isn't going through QuickBooks but rather is happening on the Shopify or Amazon type of level. So when dealing with sales tax we have to take that into consideration when we're drawing the information in from an Amazon or Shopify type of platform into our QuickBooks system and make sure that we're still managing properly the sales tax. Now one way you can do that is to try to say well I'm going to try to pull in every transaction and create a sales receipt for every transaction. Turn on sales tax within QuickBooks and let QuickBooks calculate it and so on. But again that becomes kind of redundant. It becomes kind of tedious because and and it could weigh down your system because all that stuff has already been done just on the Shopify to some level. And so do we really need to pull it all in again that might be too much too overwhelming of a job to do. So in other words we're probably not going to use the whole sales tax widget thing down here to process our sales tax possibly but rather hopefully use the other platform to help us to manage the sales side of the of the sales tax and then summarize that information in some way into our our QuickBooks system in a more simplified method than trying to just pull in you know every every transaction. Now the other issue the last piece that we're going to talk about right now is the fact that now I've got this amount in payments to deposit. So if I think about this from a flow chart we made sales receipts we didn't deposit them directly into the checking account. You can imagine like a situation where you have cash but the same thing happens with credit cards and other payment processors that being if you have multiple sales that happened during the day and you're at a cash register.  But when you deposit the money into the bank you're going to walk to the bank with a full lump sum deposit and put that into the bank therefore it's going to show up on your bank statement as one number not you know 10 $5 amounts. So so what you want to do is make sure that you group the deposits into your checking account and the same fashion as they will be represented on your bank statement so you can reconcile. When we pull the information in from a Shopify we have a similar situation if I try to pull every transaction in one at a time make a sales receipt of each one of them and I deposit it directly into the checking account. I'm going to still end up with the same problem as we would in an on ground store meaning I'm going to have a bunch of deposits into the checking account. I'll have to kind of add them all up to lump them together as the same grouping that the payment processors or credit card companies or whatever lump them in our bank account as they didn't do it $5 at a time they lump them together in some way. So so the way we do that in a non ground system is we deposit into the payments to deposit generally and then when I go to the bank at the end of the day we will make the deposit. So I'll make a bank deposit and then I'm going to deposit these two items at 1216. Okay so the full deposit is going to be 290450 instead of two individual deposits 1700 120450 and that then will make it easier to reconcile because my bank statement will have one number 290450 not two numbers on it. Reconciling is very important and this is going to be very important with with the Shopify kind of or pulling the information from a Shopify type of situation as well because it's likely that we also want to automate our bank feeds. And the information that's going to come in through the bank feeds is going to be whatever was deposited into the bank in this case to 290450 not 1700 or 120450. So that that becomes an issue we need to be aware of when we pull this information in from like an e-commerce website. So let's save it and close it and see what happens. So we'll say if I go to my checking it let's run it.  And it'll reconcile to the bank reconciliation and the payment account went back down and it shows the payment to deposit. It shows the increases and decreases line item by line item which is quite nice. So to summarize this when we when we compare this to what's going to happen in a Shopify type of situation or some other kind of e-commerce store. Note that QuickBooks isn't isn't their inventory perpetual inventory system isn't generally designed to pull the information in from a Shopify type of store. Right because if I pulled it in you would think that I would have to make it a sales receipt in order to properly allocate for the inventory. Calculate the sales tax the way QuickBooks would want to do it in an online kind of situation and deal with the payments to properly flow through and match up to what's on the bank feeds. So so we can't normally do a full service you would think you don't typically want to do that because for the reasons we talked about before. So we're going to have to break this up a little bit and QuickBooks does work quite well to break it up. It's just that when people first think about it about QuickBooks they feel like they're just going to turn on all the stuff and pull in the data. Turn on the inventory and track all the inventory in the same way as you would if it was an on ground store. And that's you'd have to use QuickBooks normally a little bit different way and that would be we're going to break this up generally from a perpetual inventory system to a periodic inventory system. And we'll pull in the data that we need from Shopify utilizing the import tools which are going to be bank feeds possibly some some integration apps to pull in that information. And we'll pull in the information only that we that we need so that we don't overwhelm our QuickBooks system as well and we don't make it too tedious on us. And this is similar to the bank feeds if you if you just turn on the bank feeds for example and you have no idea how to use bank feeds you're just going to pull in a bunch of information and be completely overwhelmed. You have a similar thing with the with a Shopify or an online store if you just pull in all the transactions from a Shopify and you don't know how to integrate those transactions. You could end up with a with a very big mess right so the quit. So what we want to do is summarize the information into QuickBooks. So hopefully I haven't scared anyone completely away with this but I just want to go over the the the issues that will will will go into and then we'll try to simplify that information as we pull it in from like an e-commerce source.


All right, we've got a new ink. This is Dracula ink. It's joining the wear angel monthly world literature ink collection It's a glistening ink. It says right in the bottle. So you have to shake it really good and this thing sounds really interesting So we're gonna test it a few different ways first time. I'm gonna use an eyedropper to drop some ink into this little inkwell here. I Love that you can fill the your pins or dip pins or whatever you'd like directly from the wear angel ink bottle It's really convenient. It's got a great opening size But I just thought it would be fun to use this other ink well and see how it made the ink perform differently We're just gonna write out a quote from Brem Stoker's Dracula right here And it says the world seems full of good men Even if there are monsters in it if you've got a favorite quote from Dracula leave it in the comments I'd love to hear it. Well, that's drying We're gonna do a quick ink dropper swatch here and the wear angel ink swatch book and do a cotton swab above With a quick writing sample with the dip pen and it dried so differently than I expected take a look That really really subtle blue shimmer really overpowered it in the splash But it still looks all velvety red in the writing sample. I love the wear angel monthly world lit collection


Frontier Town, the saga of the Roaring West. Frontier Town, El Paso, Cheyenne, Calgary, Tombstone. Frontier Town. Here is the adventurous story of the early west, the tamed and the untamed. From the Pekos to Powder River, Dodge City to Poker Flat. These are the towns they fought to live in and lived to fight for. Teaming crucibles of pioneer freedom. Frontier Town. I'm Chad Remington, Frontier Lawyer. Now, a cow town lawyer doesn't get too many cases, and those he does get usually pay slowly, if at all. And that's one reason why I have my so-called offices up over the Dos Rios livery staples, which are owned by an ex-medicine man, Cherokee O'Bannon. Well, what I'm getting at is this. After the run of broken-down and non-fan clients I've had, it was a real pleasure when Dave Buckley and his mother from over in the painted horse country came to see me along with Lieutenant Colonel Harvey, supply officer for all the United States troops in our territory. Even Cherokee was impressed. Colonel, do you mind if I ask you a question? A very personal question? No, not at all, O'Bannon. What is it? You don't let braid on your sleeves genuine gold? Oh, no, no, I'm afraid not. Even if it were, Cherokee, you couldn't snip enough off it to buy a bottle of Kentucky's best. How disappointing. How very disappointing.  I gather you have a contract you want me to look over. Is that right, Dave? Well, yeah, Chad, though, maybe Mark could tell you more about it. Now, why in tarnation thunder should I do it? I spent the last 20 odd years bringing you up to learn something. From what I can see, you've done a pretty good job, Mark. In fact, that's what anyone would expect out here from a member of Ma Buckley's family. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. When I first met Ma, Dave here wasn't more knee-high to a grasshopper. She was selling a gallon jug of something. She made herself for six bets, five cents back on your turn to the empty bottle. Yeah, and I'm not ashamed of it.  Well, you certainly have done well, Mrs. Buckley, or else he wouldn't be here now. Not meaning to seem inquisitive, but would someone be good enough to tell me just what the nature of this contract is you want me to look over? Well, along and short of it's just this, Chad. We're entering into a contract with the Army to supply them with beef. And the contract runs three years. Well, I'd say that's a great deal, providing the price is all right. Well, the price is more than fair, Huntington. Yeah, Chad, we got no complaint at all on the price. I only catch the whole blasted contract as the money we lose if we don't deliver the cattle. Well, that's normal, Ma. The government usually puts some forfeiture clause in any contract to cover non-delivery. Is there a schedule in the contract? How many head are you supposed to deliver and at what times? I'm supposed to deliver a thousand head at once and then fifty head every two weeks for the remainder of the three years. Say, this is big business. Where are you hoping to get all that cattle, Ma? Oh, that's Dave's job. Starting the amount in business for yourself here with the first thousand head. We'll get that cattle, Chad. I've got that pretty well arranged now, with Ma's help, of course. All right. I guess you better let me have the contract. Yes, here you are, Remington. It's in Cadrupacut. Well, Chad, pursuing that legal document, Ma, tell me one thing. You still got that recipe for that wild panther juice you used to make? You will reprimand you. I'll tell you what I'll do with you, Ben. What's that, Ma?  Ma'am, you're asking the impossible. I got that recipe from an old Indian. On my sacred pledge, never to reveal it. Old Indian? What old Indian? Why, a certain bull, of course, because that formula is ninety-five percent bull and if you have the misfortune to drink any of it, you'll spend the next week sitting down. That's just what I thought. You all fake. What about that contract, Chad? Is it all right? Well, it certainly seems to be, Dave, except I must warn you that if you fail to meet any of these delivery dates, not only does the contract expire, but you forfeit ten thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars is a well of a lot of money. Ah, now, we're into the worrying about that, Chad. If we can't raise it, then that'll be something for Uncle Sam to worry about. It's a funny thing. As much as a lawyer will do to protect his client, there are so many factors which, not written on paper, can blow a contract higher than a kite. And in the case of Ma and Dave Buckley, I soon learned there was one factor nobody could have thought of. Not more in a week after the contract with the army had been signed in my office, Dave Buckley, who was out rounding up cattle, suddenly saw something which caused him to rake his spurs over his pony's flanks and come racing home. Ma? Ma, where are you?   Ma, this is awful. Awful. I was just riding up over Bald Hill, and what do you think I saw coming through that pass down below? Now, Howard Bladesy, should I know what you saw? Sheep. That's what I saw. Sheep. Thousands of the filthy great critters. Sheep? They're coming here? They must be coming in here. They're heading right this way. They ain't coming in here, baby boy. They got no right to trail their sheep through cattle country. What can we do? It is open range. Yeah, well, it's going to be closed range then. We're going to close it with ever-shot gun rifle and six gun we can lay hand to. Ma, ma, we can't. We can't take the law into our own hands. We can't, eh? Well, we got the law on our hands right now. We got that dad-blasted contract we signed with the army, and that's law too.  We'll lose everything we've got. Everything I've worked more than 30 years for. Well, you do what you want. For me, I'm sending a telegram to Chad Remington. I'm not going to be shot down or see my neighbor shot down just because of a lot of no-good double-dealing sheepherders. Harold, come here. You calling me? You're going right, I called you. I look, Harold. I'm taking my horse and riding up over that hill. I want to have a look at Painted Horse Valley that's on the other side of it. Well, son, your broolings, I have seen Painted Horse Valley many times. And I tell you, there is much grass there. Some places grass almost shoulder-high. Sure, sure, I know. But now that we're this close, I want to see it myself. Now you and the boys keep them sheep moving. Understand? Yes, yes, señor. But you know, I think it is much better if you do not show yourself yet. These cattle ranch hombres, I don't know, they can smell sheep. I know my rights. Look it up, too. At their land's government land. And we don't have to take nothing from any cattle ranchers. Yes, and you'll see, but maybe you make the trouble. Well, ain't that too bad. Now look, Harold. My sheep are going to feed in Painted Horse Valley even if we have to turn that green grass red with blood before they get to it. If anything happens, well, I'm gone. Don't ask no questions. Just blast away. Maybe these grass do turn red with blood. The way you're talking, you'll have Painted Horse Valley up in arms in a range war started before summer. You doggone dad, blame right I will. No moth eating mangy sheep herders are driving sheep across my land. Don't you see, Chad, if it just ate the grass, it would be bad enough, but sheep have sharp hooves that dig up the roots and they'll take years before it grows again. Chad, isn't there something we can do without going for our guns? If your neighbors feel like your mother does, Dave, it's not. But if you'll give me a chance to go out and talk to the man who owns this sheep, well, there's just a possibility we might be able to come to terms. Terms, huh. A lot of good talking's gonna do. Ma, Ma, you've worked 30 years you said to get to the point you're at today. Now you're almost on Easy Street with a contract with the government.  The only reason I work tomorrow is so I could leave you something when I'm not here no more. I believe, Dave, if you try shooting it out, probably it's the memory of his mother. Dog gone at Ma, let me go out and talk to this man. Well, but just once, I'm not gonna have no going back and forth. Going back and forth. What's the man's name, this sheepherder fellow I mean? Well, we hear his name is Brawling. Woolly Brawling, they call him. And they say he's got a flock of 4,000 sheep he's driven clear from Arkansas. Well, come on, Cherokee. We'll start and see if we can chew the fat with Mr. Brawling.  When I want your advice about my sheep Remington, Alaska first, I've been tailing sheep since long before the time you was just wet behind the ears. You don't say. Well, if you try driving these sheep you've got here in the Painted Horse Valley you won't do much more driving, believe you me. I guess I know my rights. No one be hanged. If not a good, your rights are going to do you when the cattlemen start blasting their guns in your faces. You wouldn't be trying to threaten me now, would you? I don't have to threaten you. If you got a brain in your head, you'll know I'm right.   That's it, Cher, now what's the one for me? If you want any more, Brawling, just get back up on your feet. No, no, no, no, wait a minute. I'm not looking for no more trouble. Now you should have thought of that before you threw that sneak punch. Look, Brawling, I came out here to try to help you, not to make trouble. I got an oil paint and you trying to help me. If you can risk losing 4,000 sheep, that's your business. I'd like to save you the loss. Save the cattlemen from getting hurt and actually save the sheep. Does anybody with even one brain in their head knows that a few sheep are good for a range country? Of course. If you'd split your flock into small branches and feed them through the country lightly, nobody'd be hurt. You could send some of your sheep into painted horse valley or a few more through Valhalla Pass and so on. If you did, I don't think even the ornery is cattlemen that bother you. You think they'd really be willing to let my sheep through that way? The cowmen don't want any trouble. They'll cooperate with you. Okay, I'll do it. I'll split them up. And if you don't mind, O'Bannon and I are going to go back and tell the ranchers the good news. Come on, Cherokee. Let's be getting up steam. Mr. Brawling, congratulations.   Harold. Hey, Harold. What do you want, now? I want you and the other boys to keep an eye on the flock. I'm riding up to flag and higher in every gunhand I can find.  But why do you do that? Because I'm driving my 4,000-sheep-through Painted Horse Valley. Even if I have to leave a dead cowboy to mark every blasted foot, if they want war, they're going to get war until this valley is black with gun smoke. We'll return to the second act of all trails lead to trouble, our exciting Frontier Town adventure in just a few moments. So, and then, what woolly brawling planned, I went back to the Buckleys and asked Ma and Dave to see if they could arrange a meeting of all the ranchers in the vicinity. Figuring that if I could get them all together at once, I'd have a fair to middle-end chance of convincing them of what I thought I'd convinced the sheep man of. Ma, of course, was reluctant to waste any time perlavoring, and she termed it. But she finally gave in, and the meeting was arranged for the following afternoon. The meeting was chaired by Amos Churchill, the president of the local cattleman's association. All right, boys, quiet down, quiet down. I'll be blasted if I'm going to quiet down, Amos. I admit that I asked Grimman to come up here, or at least my son did, but enough's enough. He ain't making no bargains for no sheep herders for me. Well, then, what was the idea of calling this here meeting?  I ain't no hire, and folks back. Chad said he wanted to put his proposition up to all of you. Well, I'd given the chance.  Ma, you've got no right to do this. I've got an interest in that contract, just like you have. Sure, you've got plenty of rights, Davy, and as your mother, I've got the right to turn you over my knee and warp the daylights out of you for talking about things you don't know about. Neighbors! Neighbors! This is our range. It's up to us to keep it. If anyone tries to run any sheep across it, we dog-gone-well better be out there proving it's our range. In other words, Ma, you're insisting that the public lands are yours exclusively? How can you be so short-sighted?  Rammington, Rammington, you're out of order.  I've seen selfish men like you precipitate range wars before, but this time, by glory, it's going to be stopped. That's all I've got to say.   Ah, yeah, Amos. It was you who brought Rammington up here. Now, by gully, it's you who's going to have to get rid of him. No one's going to interfere with us. Let them sheep trail over on our land. And since you and Dave brought Rammington up here, the two of you better get your heads together quick. Get rid of him. Well, I don't know about that, Amos.  All right, boys. That's all this meeting stands adjourned. Well, I certainly talk tough and positive, but you can take it from me or we'll see you bluff. How anyone could stop those stock men from waging their age-old battle with their sheepherders or something even a cow-town lawyer didn't know. However, my pessimism changed to optimism later that afternoon when young Dave Buckley rusted me out and told me Ma wanted to see me out at their place that evening. It certainly sounded as if the old matriarch was either going to capitulate or compromise somehow or other. But no one that no cases won until the jury's back in the courtroom, I sunk Cherokee heels over leather on an errand. And like a doomed man, I had the proverbial big meal at the Merchants and Drovers Hotel before riding out for my somewhat mysterious meeting with Ma Buckley. And the moon was a thin golden cemetery in the sky as I pulled up at the ranch house. It was a perfect evening except for the faint smell of sheep on the wind. Boy, hold on. Well, it's you, Chad. What's wrong with you, Dave? You act as if I'm not welcome. You're not, particularly. Come on. Come on in. I didn't expect you to freeze up on me, Dave. Your mother, well, that's a different story. I don't mean it that way, Chad. Come on. Ma's back in the parlor. Hey, Ma, Chaz here. Well, don't stand there. Come on in. Well, Ma, did you change your mind? Come down, Chad. Good Chad, Chad, Dave. Here you are, Chad. Thank you. It's soft and dark in here. Why don't you light a lamp or something? We, uh... we got our reasons, ain't we, Ma? Yeah, we got our reasons right now. And the principal reason is this. Cheapers. Ma, the way you hit him, you could have hurt him real bad. I didn't do him no good. I don't want any more to a head than raise a lump on it. What are we going to do with him now? Time up, that's what. He's sure going to be sore when he comes to. What are you, anyhow? Man or a peeling baby? Painted Horse Valley is our home, Dave. Whether Chad Remington likes it or not, we're going to protect it. Nice people, my clients. But knowing Ma Buckley, how hard she'd worked all her days, how much she wanted to leave something to Dave, so he wouldn't have to go through the agony and grief which had marked her life, I can't be too bitter. Although, at the time, I was bitter almost to the point of hatred. Maybe, as Ma said, a piece of stove would never did any permanent harm, but it laid me out cold for hours. While I was still vaguely drifting around on some distant cloud, Cherokee returned from the errand that sent him on. Unable to locate me, headed from town out to the Buckley's Place, found enough dust along the trail. Chad certainly must be talking to school head-off. He's out of the Buckleys this long. Born three hours. Wait a minute. Go down. Whoa, there's someone coming. Hello there, mind of foot. Well, it's Ma and Dave Buckley. Who's that? Who's that? Me, Cherokee O'Bannon. What are you doing out this time of night, O'Bannon? Well, I might ask you two the same question. But at the same time, I'm out looking for Chad. Where is he now? Chad? Why? How should we know where he is? He had an appointment out at your place at 10 o'clock, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, sure, but he didn't stay more than 10 minutes did he, Ma. That was 10 minutes too long. It's a good thing we run into you, O'Bannon. Save you a long ride. Go back to town now. Yes, he's not out at your place. Might as well. What have you got there, a whole arsenal? You're both armed to the teeth. I was you, O'Bannon. I didn't ask so many questions. I blaze as I wager. I know what you're up to.  You're too smart for your own good, O'Bannon. Come on. You're coming along with us. Now, just a minute, madam. Dave, take his gun. Sure, Ma, I'll get it.  Ma! Ma, he's getting away! You won't get far. I'll knock that poor, flesh and medicine man right off. Ma, don't! Don't! Don't let go of that rival there, Dave. It's all blasted. Ma, it's better enough. I heard us without shooting a friend behind his back. There. There. That's better. Yeah. At least you're right at that. I was just afraid he'd find Chad. Out in the barn? Fine. Chance tied up and all covered with hay. Come on, Ma. Mr. Churchill and the others will be waiting for us. We're going to catch them cheap men napping. We're going to have to do it before sunup. Well, all this was happening. I finally came back to life, trust like a turkey and covered with hay in the Buckleys' barn. I couldn't figure out any way of getting loose until wriggling around. I found I... I could make my fingers reach some matches in my pocket. I guess I got the idea from something I'd read, but I figured if I could strike a match or two and hold the flame under my ropes, I could burn them loose. And I managed to get hold of three matches. I struck one, held it just under my left wrist, and the next thing I knew, the hay was on fire. Smart lawyer, hay.  I thrashed around, tried everything I could, but the only thing I succeeded in doing was spreading the flames. Oh, my goose was cooking. So was I when the barn door opened and Cherokee rushed in. Dad, dad, you in here? Cherokee, get out that boy knife for yours.   We've got to get out of here. Cherokee, if you're sure of what you think you saw, we're in for it. Well, then we're in for it because those cow-headed ranchers have cut down trees and barricaded the past. Made a blast of porters out of this valley. Good grief, Cherokee. They've started from the number of gun flashes I see those sheepmen have got them out Keep going there, boy, keep going. Hey, Cherokee, look. Look, there's someone coming, riding away from there. Slow, pal, hold, hold on. Hold it! Rain up! Who's that? Yeah, is that you, Remington? Well, he blew blazes, Chad. This is Mr. Churchill, the man who ran you out of the meeting. It's awful down there. Five men shot already and I was going to see if I'd get some help. They must outnumber us 10 to one. Hey, hey, that bugle, what's that? Chad, the colonel was as good as his word. They got here, they got here. Who got here? The United States Army, that's who. I sent Cherokee over to see the colonel early this afternoon. Since they bought all this beef, they've got an interest in this valley, too. Come on, boys, we can still get him for the wind-up. I guess there's no way you're rightly telling you how I feel over what we've done to you after all you've done for us. You don't have to apologize, Ma. Just so long as you've learned your lesson that the West and the open range doesn't all belong to you. I think most of Ma's honoriness leaked out through the hole that sheep-herder's bullet put through her arm, Mama. Yeah, I'm sure he ain't got my back up now. Then, Madam, may Dr. O'Bannon prescribe a dose of his genuine Cherokee and in round-of-snake oil taken just before meals? I guess so happens that I haven't bottled with them. I'll be very happy to sell you a reduced price of genuine bargain. Pay cash for that hogwash? No, but I'll tell you what I'll do. So happens that I just have one bottle of that stuff. I use it. Trading for that stuff? Not in your tin time. What's happened to you, Cherokee? Turning down a deal like that. Well, I'll tell you, Chad, what's all Nindu who drank Ma's stuff and bleached him out like an alfino? You don't expect us to believe that one, do you, Cherokee? Well, that's impossible. Impossible? What's impossible about a red skin and biving and some red eye and turning pale? Why, even a school kid knows the answer to that one. It's an old copybook, Maxim. Two reds. Don't make a wife.
