I have forgotten to post for the past several nights because I have not been driving. I did not drive on Wednesday because
I did not sleep at all until about 8:30 AM on Wednesday morning. When that happens I don’t drive that day. On Thursday
I was in Pinellas County at the gas station and when I left, I was on my way to Chipotle and I heard a vibration in the rear,
when I got to Chipotle, I checked and my left rear tire was flat. I used the small air compressor to inflate it, I was hoping
enough to get home. When I got on the Manatee County side of the Skyway, I pulled into the rest area and tried to inflate it again
and it takes like 10 minutes to inflate so I was in the car and I heard a loud bang and it was that tire, it is now beyond repair
again. So I called Triple A because I hate using that scissor jack and lug wrench. They came out in like 15 minutes and like always,
they had a floor jack and an impact wrench. It took them 10 minutes to change the tire, they put my spare on and I went to Walmart
and after-tax this time it cost 110.XX and I told them I put all 4 brand new tires on this car on May 30th, 2023 and 10 days later,
the front right tire went flat and now I am back here again on 07132023 again to replace the back left tire. I told them I only have
1 more contact with triple a left this year. Then today I picked up 2 ladies from Coconut Charlie’s on St. Pete Beach and I always forget that
I bottom out on the way out, this time, I bottomed out on the rear and I didn’t realize it until I was on I 75 South, but it broke off a plastic
piece that held the right rear bumper cover on and it was flapping like it was going to come off. I had to pull over and all I had was electrical tape
to hold it until I got home.
Today I completed 3 trips. I earned a little under $105.00.
The best part about the 4th of July this year is that it is
on a Tuesday which I normally don’t drive for Uber. This year is a little
different. Tomorrow, July 5th 2023 I am not driving for Uber so Ruby is parked
and will stay parked. Well tomorrow I got to take my mother to have her blood
checked which is like 5 maybe 10 minutes each way. But after that, I don’t
have to drive at all.
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
