Dash and Uber

Well, we did the Meet and Greet. How disappointing. Lovely that two of the guys who live in the neighborhood came by and visited a bit. They both arrived at near the same time. So it was a good chat, and Missus came out for a bit then went in finished her lunch. Otherwise, nobody showed up. I need to figure this out. There has got to be a better way to advertise the shop. I hate seeing Missus going through the effort and nothing coming of it. It really hurts to her hurt.

I did my first ever Dash today. I took a run from Burger King to a house about a block and a half from Burger King. I drove over five miles to do that. Oh well. It was a little different from doing the pizza joint I used to do back in the day. I had to get drinks and such. I would like to have a way of doing it without being so clumsy. So I need to work that out, and I would like to be sure I am getting the food to the customer hot.

This one run may be all I get this whole weekend, but I do think that tomorrow and Saturday will actually come up with some drives. I’d like to see how it goes, but just in case, I did go ahead and start the sign up for Uber Eats. I may go ahead and taxi with them, too. It is the right pace for my old body.

So there we go. I got some wood chopped up today. I also tried to jump the two trucks, but I got one running, then tried to jump the other, and it immediately killed the first one, and then neither one of them would start. I will have to try to start the first one again tomorrow. Maybe it just still had a dead battery. I dunno.

I will see how this whole thing goes. It is not a job in the practical sense, especially where I am working as a contractor at the whim of an app. No idea of it will produce enough work for me to earn enough to live on.

I am trying to keep my head around what all is going on with the new political situation now. Honestly, I don’t have a clue. Nothing makes sense. Well, maybe tomorrow.

Spoke to my oldest friend today. The one who lost his mother recently. Hopefully he is doing well. They have arranged her service. I wish I could go and be there. She was such a good lady. And he is a good friend.

The cold is here still. Looks like it will be warm again by a week from this weekend. Temps are meant to hit the 40’s. Well, this I have got to see! Off to bed for now. Goodnight! Or, good day, if that is when you are reading this. Or good morning.
