I made zero dollars driving for Uber today and I completed no trips.
I was going out to St. Pete Beach and I heard some noise and I checked
under Ruby and saw that one of my brand new tires was flat, the front right tire.
I just replaced all 4 tires on 05/30/2023 so I am going to chat with Walmart about
this. They will probably say something like, I should have gotten road hazard on them
and there is nothing they can do. That road hazard insurance is only for 12,000 miles
not the life of the tire. It just adds cost basically. I was able to put air in it
and make it home to Ellenton. I am pretty tired, I am going to smoke my medicine
and go str8 to sleep. I will deal with Walmart tomorrow. I will probably end up paying
for a new tire but the rim may be bent. This is the first time a Goodyear tire has ever
failed on me. I guess if you go through as many tires as I do, it is inevitable that
one of them will be defective, eventually. So I got Ruby home and jacked her up again
and put the maypop tire on there for the trip to Wally World tomorrow. I learned today that
I probably should not drive to Pinellas when I drive. Ruby has too many miles on her and
even though Pinellas County is way more familiar to me, I will just stick around the
house I suppose.
I forgot to blog again last night. I did 3 total rides and earned just over $35.00. It was another bad day driving for Uber. I did get an email from a doctors office and was told that they haven’t received payment yet from Intact insurance but she said that her payments are now processing which is good news after going on 3 months after the car accident. The Uber “driver insurance” is actually going to pay something I think. Today is an “oil change Friday” and the car wash down the street has been closed for two days so I gotta get that done this morning too. It’s almost 8 AM now.

Today I completed a single trip for Uber and
I made a little over $9.00 in total. It was a slow day and I declined several large trips. At about 5pm I noticed that it was slow and I was wishing that I didn’t decline a lot of the previous trips. Wishing never works though and once I decline trips they’re gone forever. I just finished my midnight snack of carrot stix and broccoli that I dip into great value Chipotle Ranch salad dressing that I love and Chic Filet Polynesian sauce which I also get from Walmart and I was like umm I forgot to blog today so I am doing that now. It is 1:42 in the morning. I like to get as much info as possible at a glance so I use this clock that has the day of the week, the actual time in AM or PM the ambient temperature, the month, the day, and the year. I plug it in but it also takes batteries and when we lose power in the house, I have to manually reset all of those settings. It’s a P.I.T.A. But I like it you can see it on my YouTube trailer that is set to a cover song of Eddie Van Galen’s song “JUMP” i
You should be able to find it by searching for “Rideshare Sean” on YouTube.
Today I completed 2 trips for Uber and I earned just over $85.00. I got home at around 5.30 PM took my vitamins, rhode the peloton and ate my first Wagyu steak (it was a ribeye). It was pretty good but damn it was expensive. I have been getting 2 grass fed ribeye steak’s every week. I broil them and they come out perfectly every time (I learned this method on YouTube so now I am an expert lol) On Youtube, the always do the C.Y.A. thing and tell you to cook them for 8 minutes on each side. Umm, I like my flesh a little rare in the middle. So I cook mine on 1 side for 5 minutes and then I pull it out of the oven and flip it and then it gets 5 more minutes on the other side. They come out perfect every time. I also had a pretty big salad too. I was done with everything at like 7:30PM which is pretty good. I have been in my room ever since. I took my medicine a couple times, I went out to the fridge and grazed a couple times. I have been watching YouTube videos of Max Lugavere the Genius Food guy. He is pretty cool. I like him a lot.
Right now I am at Isla Del Sol about to start driving for the day. Yesterday was very slow. I completed 1 trip and earned a little over $26.00 dollars. I am going to go online right after I complete this blog post. Today, the highest per gallon that showed on Upside was .24 cents. I got there and all of the pumps were bagged off. While I was deciding where to go next this guy came and took the bag of the pump that was close to me. That has never happened. So I checked in on upside and filled up my tank. Then I went to Chipotle and I am now ready to start driving.
The Uber app says I completed 2 trips today, I earned a little over $60.00. Today marks the first day of the 2023 hurricane/rainy season, Ruby has 4 new tires, New brake pads all the way around and o s new windshield wiper from Maher collision. I just noticed one of my windshield wiper’s says Trico on it and the one on my left side says nothing.
