Today I completed 2 trips and earned a little under $50.00. This week is a Holiday week. I will be driving on Tuesday the 4th of July, and I will not drive on the 5th of July. Historically the 4th of July is a great day for driving. The best days for Driving are usually holidays. What can make them even better is rain! A lot of people like to spend holidays on the Beach and when it starts raining people want rides to their vehicle that they walked to
before the rain.
Today I completed 2 trips and I earned a little
Under $50.00. I just can’t fathom putting so much money just to fuel up. I get to the Gas pump and the numbers I see from the person that was at the pump before me pumped $125.00 $140.00 sometimes I did see $80.00 once.
Those numbers are just crazy to me. I remember once when gas was over $4.00/Gallon I put $42.00 in it. That was the most Fuel Ruby
Ever took.
Today, I completed 3 trips and I earned a little over $70.00 U.S.
The last trip I completed around 620PM and headed to Manatee County.
I came home via I75 (no tolls) and I got home at around 720 PM
I do 30 minutes on the Peloton now so I did that, took my vitamins
took a shower, ate dinner, no I am doing a quick blog post and going to sleep.
Sleep is so important, When we sleep we literally recharge, I think that
is so cool!
Today and tomorrow are days that I don’t
drive for Uber, I work on other more important things. If I am goin to stop depending on my Uber income to support us, I need to work on those things right now and Monday’s and Tuesday’s are both days that I had my “Crosshairs” on since I quit/left my other Job
Mondays are always bad and I try to have at least 2 days in a row off and Sundays are usually the best daytime days for Uber driving.
So I don’t drive for Uber on Mondays or Tuesdays
I forgot to post last night so I am posting this now from Dolphin Village on St. Pete Beach
it seems like a slow day so far. I will probably end up driving to Downtown St. Petersburg to try and get some rides. My new Peloton shoes came yesterday. I wanted those sod shoes but I didn’t like them so I sent them back and ended up getting the exact same shoes as the ones I had before. I just need the Peloton to work perfectly every time I need to ride.
I completed 2 trip’s today for Uber. I earned
a little under $80.00 USD. I woke up this morning and there was a notification on my phone that someone I drove to TPA from St. Pete Beach gave me a $5.47 tip! I was like “troo”
it was also an “Oil Change Friday” they’re doing something different now. They evacuate the old oil by sucking it out of the dipstick tube. There is still a dude down in the pit but
that person mainly just changes oil filters all day long. I like this new method because I can see the old oil and it flows down the side of a clear container so I can see how dark it is and how much oil there is. They put in 4.4 quarts and I estimate that vacuum out 4 quarts maybe a lil more. I would say Ruby burns of some of that oil. The motor in her only has like 200K on it and the guy I purchased that motor from
Said it had on like 25K on it. He had 100 percent positive feedback and like 1400 transactions. When you buy a motor on EBay, you
Have to take the sellers word for it. Either
that or get one from the Stealership brand new.
I purchased it for around a grand and I had it shipped directly to the AutoMedic shop. That was in May of 2020.
Today I completed a total of 3 rides. I earned a little under $80.00. I overheard these two women
talking in the back seat, and I gathered that they were both teachers. When I was in school (A long time ago) I didn’t realize
how important teachers are. Cops also, I go out of my way to stay away from cops just because they are people
too and make mistakes, and I do not want to be one of their mistakes. They are very powerful and have the ability
to arrest, and that is very powerful, they are limited yes, but if you resemble a person that just committed a felony.
you are getting a set of bracelets, and they will ask questions later. Teachers are awesome because we trust them with our kids and that is HUGE. Cops
are awesome too but they can also be very bad. Teachers also can be very bad. But when there is someone doing something nasty
what do people do ALL the time, call 911. Then who has to deal with that? The cops. I don’t want to deal with pretty much anyone
at all, but the cops have to deal with the absolute nastiest people all the time, and they need to deal with dead people, dead kids
they have to deal with THE WORST OF THE WORST, ALL THE TIME. Anyway, these teachers were going to the Dali museum in Down Town St. Petersburg
so I got to talking to them, and told them a couple places that are really awesome to eat at. Someone had already told them
about Cassis Saint Petersburg and Parkshore Grill. Which I have not been to, but I have heard really good things about Parkshore
So I dropped them off at the museum and they went about their business and I went about mine. Then several minutes later
a tip came through for just over 4 dollars and 25 cents. Which is nothing in the big scheme of things, but the point is
to talk to all of your passengers about anything that comes to mind. I talk to all my passengers like they are someone else’s
kids. Kids that live with you tend to get treated more abrasively. I do not pretend to have all of the answers to anything
but if it were me in the back seat (which it often is) I just would want to be treated like, someone next to me, on a plane, or a
bus, or a train. Sometimes people don’t want to talk (like me) but I try to be as cool as possible with my riders. All of them.
Yes even the ones that leave me a 1 star rating, often that 1 star rating was decided on before the rider ever got in your vehicle.
If people don’t talk to me, I do not talk to them unless I hear something that interest me. then I will butt in and ask them, but then I shut up lol.
