Hello everyone hope your having a great mid week. Yesterday I took the day off from my full-time so I could make some extra money delivery driving. Today I'll show you some places and things I seen while driving. The number one reason I did this was to go to my son's basketball game which was out of town. Times are little tough for me right now financially and I didn't want to pull funds from my main account.
I jump in the car at about 7:00 a.m. and see some awesome sky colors. The sun rise with the addition of the moon setting brings some beautiful colors. Fall is over here but the sky colors this morning so reminded me of it. Don't you agree that starting the day seeing this brings positivity? The weather is a little cold (30 degrees Fahrenheit) but not compared to what is normal for this time of year.
What I enjoyed the most was the look of it with the clouds. They don't at all block the view but hold in the assortment of colors. As the sky lights up the automatic street lights began to turn off but not all of them. I witnessed some of them shutoff while others across the street stayed on. I most certainly enjoyed these views before and after my first delivery order.
My first pick up was at you guessed it, Starbucks. I had my coffee at home well before this but I still had temptation on my mind imagining drinking some here. Can you imagine drinking some and witnessing the sun rise at the same time? They have tables outside and I'm thick skinned so the weather outside would not have bothered me. I was just wearing jeans and heavy sweatshirt. Anyways they were busy as many orders were stacking up on their pick up counter. It would have been a bad thing if I ordered something for myself because that would have made my delivery super late. It's not fast food coffee after all,if you order anything out of the ordinary plan for it in about 20 minutes or longer.
My second and third pick up were at the same place. A resteraunt that serves lunch, dinner, and breakfast all day long. The name of the place is the Cracker Barrel. It's a themed country place and even has a store inside. It's not a super fancy place, more for everyday people (country folk, heehaw) to eat. The picture you see is from the last pick up.
The first delivery was about 10 miles away in the neighboring city of Omaha, Nebraska. What you see in the picture is the outskirts of the its down town. The suns rays were definitely making the buildings look brighter. I delivered the food to an apartment on the 12th floor.
The second delivery was to a house that was about 2 miles away from the restaurant. I had to take a picture of the drop off. I did do what the mat said to do, haha. Leave food and go away, think they order out a lot?
Next up I picked up groceries and some merchandise from WalMart. One was all groceries and the other mostly Christmas presents for who I assume is a girl. There were couple of bags with barbie dolls.
The Christmas present order went to the nice good sized house out in the middle of the countryside. If I ever have a choice to where to live and what it were to look like I would choose this place. The three stall car garage would be nice. I would have two for vehicles and one made into a work shop.
The other grocery order went to farm house with quite a few outbuildings. Seeing these old farm properties brings back memories of where I grew up at. The last photo is a shot of a cattle farm. A few cows were out and let me tell you could smell them from quite aways away.
I drove for about 5 hours and made 11 deliveries in total. I put on about 100 miles on the odometer and made just over $100. I would of thought I would have done better but it was more than enough to do what I was set out to do. Tuesdays are the slowest of days for delivery driving.
So for trip I needed to fill up the gas tank in my car, $27.33. My son wanted me to bring him a sandwich from Jimmy Johns, $11.00 (estimate). The price to enter and watch game, $7.00. Concession food to enjoy while watching game, $5. So doing a little side hustling work today allowed me to do all of this. Hopefully I can start doing this more often so I can have more freedom money.
Hope you enjoyed my little short happenings while I was delivery driving. I'll tell you about my son's game at another time, he impressed me yet again. I'm just happy and fortunate that doing a little work made this all possible. I'm blessed to have a fall back for extra income 🙏
That's it for me this time. Thanks for stopping by and for your support. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day.
