Well I mostly listen to county and rock. Granted most of todays stuff sucks, but reverting to my original statement there are always a few diamonds in the rough.

There are some contemporary country singers/bands I’m ok with (Toby Keith, Blues Saraceno and a few others) but they don’t hold a candle to, say, Johnny Cash. That being said, to ea his own.

They still have to go to a conference committee to iron out differences between the houses, which is...something, I guess...and there are some major differences (mortgage deductibility, the number of tax brackets, etc.). So the "fun" isn't done quite yet.
The only plus I can see is that stocks ought to continue to rise, but hey, valuations are suuuuper stretched already.

Lesson for the day: on the front straight away at a race track, while racing motorcycles, it is not recommended to grab your front brake and endo. That’s how you end up with KOed with bi-lateral humerus fractures.

So....i decided to check out that "side hustle" and spent yesterday driving for Uber. Well Uber Eats since my pickups lack of 4 full size doors disqualifies me from regular Uber fares. Basically when "online" you get an alert to accept a delivery....it tells you to drive to such and such restaurant (turn by turn GPS directions available) and pick up the order (in all cases the order was ready to go or no more than a minute of waiting) then the app gives you directions to the drop off...you drop off and go on your merry way.
Raw numbers: I spent 9 hrs and 19 min "online", I completed 13 "trips" and made $81 not counting tips (though I made maybe 30 bucks in tips?). Comes out to something like $8.70 an hour based on those numbers. The single lowest paid trip was $3.94, single highest paid was $11.39. Average worked out to $6.23 per trip.
So....not exactly the highest paying part time job....AND it's YOUR gas money (plus any additional maintenance) which with about $2.90/gallon here (if I use the cheaper pumps on the military bases, closer to $3.00/in town (some pumps were closer $3.20/gallon I saw!)
But it is easier than other part time jobs...go on or offline at will, so totally flexible with other work schedules, but first impressions are a relatively quick way to earn a few extra bucks. That's the rub, a FEW extra bucks....it sure won't double your regular paycheck (my rough off the cuff math says that if you spend all day on the weekends AND work a few hours a day thru the week (like if you work a 40 he mon-fri schedule that is so super common in EMS
and do a few trips after work...or do 2 or 3 full days in between work shifts.....you might net 150- 200 extra bucks a week....not a lot of but maybe enough to pay off that extra credit card debt from the holidays? Lol

@RocketMedic what is that? We don’t have many Colombians, or Colombian dining out here, but that looks amazing.
Also, gag, I see there’s yet another (seemingly soon-to-be-short-lived) atrocity of a show for “heroic first responders”.

Or you know you can just stand on a street corner and make twice as much.
