While dashing my first shift, I picked up from a new place today. Nom and Go. It opened in September and just started Door Dash deliveries last weekend. They are only open four days a week – Monday and Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Run by a nice seeming fellow named Fabian. Since I had never heard of Nom and Go, I called and asked where they were. The sign said Community Kitchen, but I found the right place eventually. Woo hoo!
Other than that, my first dash was pretty good. I had a chat with a dasher I have spoken with a few times. He says he makes $200 a day most days. Only working 7 hours. I find that unlikely. But anything is possible. He did say that he dashes using the time and distance option rather than the per offer option. I might try that tomorrow and see what happens. It didn’t seem to make much difference the last time I did it.
At lunch time, I charged the car a little bit and did some of the reminder tasks. Nothing too earth shattering. I charged because I had an airport run to make during my lunch period.
SM’s flight was on time and she popped out of the terminal in a timely fashion. She just came back from a great sounding trip to exotic places. She also made noises about me getting out and traveling more. Sadly, it looks like the next few years will be almost exclusively domestic travel. Anyway, we will probably get dinner together in the not too terribly distant future.
The second dash shift started immediately after I dropped SM off at her house. The second dash wasn’t as good as the first. Way too much distance for not enough money. But still, it wasn’t bad.
I finished the first book in the Rivers of London series today and asked OWWL (our local library system) to put a hold on the second book. To tide me over, I have The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck which I started. I didn’t really have a lot of time to read, though, so I brought the book inside. If I finish this before the next Rivers of London book comes out, I have lots and lots of other books and things to read. It is a good thing that I like reading, don’t you think?
Tonight, I start to eat things out of the deep freezer. Honestly, not too excited about it, beyond getting rid of some food that has probably been there for a while. Not forever, but long enough.
Oh, I saw a youtube about guy who spent a few hundred dollars on a solar panel and a charging station to charge stuff in his shed. I think I might follow in his footsteps. I can use the set up to power the heater on the side porch. And then when I travel, I can use it to power my sound system maybe. or charge the car a little bit in a pinch. I’ll check it out on Friday.
Augustus for President: I will believe I am starting to gain some traction when people I do not know start filling out the surveys. When more than 10 people who I don’t know have taken at least one of the surveys, that will be a good sign.
I gave out a lot of stickers today. One guy cackled when I gave it to him. He is a man I have seen hanging out at McDonald’s a lot. He didn’t keep the sticker, just stuck it to the McDonald’s table he was sitting at. Sigh. I am not responsible for what other people do with my stickers, am I?
A bunch more thoughts went into the Presidential Thoughts document. Don’t let the name fool you, not all the thoughts are very lofty and Presidential. They are just thoughts that in some way relate to my candidacy and eventual time in the White House. Some of them are probably downright silly…
I was pleased to know that AOC was outspent 10-1 and she still won her first race. Gives me even more hope than I already have (which is a decent amount, by the way) of carrying the election.
