10/06/18

7:30p to 3:45a     A personal record of 20 rides and over $240.

The night finally got started with a trip form nearby up to Georgetown.  Had a nice conversation about the UFC and WWF.  I dropped him off and wondered if I would be able to get a rider that was going a little bit further south.  Sure enough, picked up another one at the Cinemark at the Round Rock Premium Outlets and made my way back down 35.

Took a couple to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, left, and immediately had a request to pick someone up from the same place.  The next ride is the one that took me downtown.

The Austin City Limits music festival had ended for the day and traffic was interesting.

Picked up a gentleman and then another ride came in.  I realized that he was a Pool Rider and I had not noticed.  He started groaning and complaining about having to go pick up someone else.  He offered to give me a good tip if I would just swing by his destination.  Honestly, I didn't care about the additional tip.  I just wanted his whiny complaining ass out of my vehicle.  Dropped his ass off at the Fairmont Hotel and headed out for the 2nd Pool group.  It was a young male and female and the moment I let the male know that we had another Uber Pool pick up, he started cursing and carrying on like a brat.  Why do these people select Uber Pool and then cry like babies when the y have to share a ride.

Pulled around to make a pick up at the Casa Chapala Mexican Restaurant.  There was some great music playing in the outside seating section and these two people dancing and having a great time near the front door.  Turns out these were my riders.

The last leg of the above mentioned Pool riders were a couple of Spanish speaking ladies that had been to the music festival.  They had noticed on my Uber profile that I spoke Spanish and we talked about how I had learned Spanish until we made it back to their hotel.

It was late and I turned off the app to go home.  Then I remembered the address feature and decided to turn it back on with my home address as the direction I wanted to pick up riders for.  Couldn't hurt anything and maybe I will get lucky.  And that I did.  Picked up a rider on E. 6th street and he was headed up almost all the way to the area where I live.  Perfect way to have the night end.
