Saturday: 8 hours, 275 miles, $222, got an extra bar hour due to "fall back", a near disaster, much fun.
Sunday: 7 hours, 300 miles, $154, Pastor Troy and a new sermon series, an Uber lesson learned.
- Started out a little late, it was raining and so hard to wake up. I was headed to Dallas to work the Keith Urban concert. Several rides on the way there.
- I picked up Sean and his wife. Sean is a former proud Marine. They were headed home after dinner out. We got to chat about their daughter and my grandkids the things kids are faced with today. Bless them they are parents that seem to be getting it right.
- I then picked a nice man headed home. He works for Sewell Infinity in Dallas and formally worked for then in FW. We discussed the difference between the two cities.
- A concert festival in Carrolton was just getting out I took one couple back to her hotel. Then I went back and picked up Grant. He only lived a few blocks away. This is where the near disaster occurred. I turned into his dark neighborhood. Two ladies that decided to walk it, and obviously in black clothes, walked right in front of us as I turned the corner. I had no time or way to react. Any reaction and I would have hit one. By grace of God I missed them both. I seriously grabbed his hand and we stayed that way till his house a couple more blocks. Grant was very worried about how his new hat made him look. I thought it looked great. We got to his place. He told me for some reason he was in love with a woman in Boston. I ended his brief and muted the radio. He said oh sorry to keep you. I said no tell me about her. He did. I told him he should choose love and go after her. He wasn't sure. I pray he chooses right. Short ride big impact!
- I finally made it to Dallas and did rides from concert. Including a couple of ladies that really loved Keith Urban. One of which was so happy she touched his boot. I took another couple back to Hurst, then decided to stay on the west side.
- I picked up a sweet man that was head over heels in love with his three year old. He shared pictures and he was super cute.
- Then headed downtown to work the bars. I picked up four Canadians here for NASCAR race. Dropped two off at a hotel in downtown then other two were over in Arlington. That wanted middle of the night burgers, I took them where else? Whataburger. They have never been to a NASCAR race so I told them what to expect. They were great fun.
- I then headed back downtown. I picked up a young lady and her date. They had been at the military ball downtown. They were headed to Arlington. He passed out but had shucked his uncomfortable shiny shoes. This started a conversation on foot pain with her. She is on her feet alot at work. I told the different things I had done to overcome my plantar fasciitis.
- I headed home and did some cleaning. Waited to wake up Kendall and Dave up. We took Kendall to work then caught the 9am service. PT started his series on Lord of the Harvest, awesome as always. Also he had the whole church declare prosperity over us business owners.
- Went home and got some sleep till four. Then we ate and got car ready. I then made the big error of working the NASCAR race. Too much traffic, no pick up area and no surge from Uber. I did meet a nice man from Tennessee that goes to all the races in his bus. He runs his own engineering firm in California. I also met a couple from Conroe having a parent break. They had 4 girl a at home ... I'm sure they needed it.
- I decided to just do airport from there. My last one being Tom a Japanese guy from California here for work. We talked about our families and then Dave's business. He in the last few years started collecting guns but is limited living in Cali.
Well that's the highlights ... longer than I thought. Tonight our Ladies Conference starts and then I will work the Cowboy game.
