I don't know if Im just being totally unlucky but all of my sessions this week but one has been really slow. Hope to get in thirty hours this weekend but if slow will be tough.

Forum is dead too, what is everyone doing, at the summer vacation houses having fun?

Is awesome you have future plans like that. This morning was a little better at $78 on four rides in 3.5 hours, 3 of them airport. The only thing is the dead head back is killing me and feel like Im putting on way more miles than I should be.

I love the airport funs and the way i see it, the dead miles back is mainly freeway speed so still easy on car. Ive been lucky once in awhile with long rides from north of airport back DT or bellevue.
I never seem to catch a ride from the airport area. Im like 7 for 7 of them being really short rides in that area so I just turn the app off.

I guess Im just lucky one time i got a request on Ambaum. I get there, its Milam recovery center. The girl was fairly young. She puts her black garbage bag into the backseat and hops in front. Swipe and its a ride to Everett!!! Since she kept nodding out it was a pretty easy fare. Except a few times woke up startled and half swinging....lol.
This morning sucked for me. No airport runs and got a flat tire with a passenger in the back.
Got back from Chelan today. FYI-- You can log in @ Chelan and be the only driver @ the lake. Yes, I did try it. Lol.

Did you get any requests? Did you see the running of the Vintage Hydroplane BREATHLESS III? Followed by a chase boat 4 seater Unlimited type but with outboard motors.

Today was super busy after 1030a. Almost made up for the slow week. Hoping tomorrow and sunday ate equally fruitful.

Nice, I slacked off today, only did 2 hours in morning and took night off. Will try to get 25 hours in over the next two days, pray its not slow!

I slept in a little and finaly got DT around 6 or shortly after....AM hours. Had a fairly steady stream from the ferry terminal, altho the yellow prius are blocking on east side of AK Way today. Not big $ but steady. Had sat idle from 10 to 1130 but then it broke loose. Ride to airport, ride fm hotel near airport to Market....couple short rides on little surge and finished with phinney to airport ended at $175. Happy.
You pushed through the dead zone and made some monies!

Sat was nice, 10 hours @ $215 with 180 miles. Could of went longer but needed to rest as going try to hit 2 bills tomorrow. Will pray again to Uber gods!
Ive had a $200 day today! Started around 9a. Gonna keep going a bit longer. Thanks for praying!!!

haha, glad it helped! I did a 4 hour session at $102 from 9:30 - 1:30, took a Subway break with a 5 buck tip and got lazy and went home and napped. It was a great session. So nice to have two days of non-stop pings. Going to try to go from 7 PM to Midnight to get that last 98! Hope the desperation prayer is extended this long.

Ended up only going 4 more hours at 80 and crashed at midnight. Woke up at 330 this morning with the feeling it would be busy and got 2.5 hours in at 70 and decided time to call it quits and sleep and do nothing all day. Happy to salvage this past week at 7 bills as it was looking bleak. Hoping this week stays hot. My prayers worked and since Im a heathen I never pray, must be desperate!

I ended up breaking 300 for the day yesterday. Started heading home to Auburn around 830 so could get to sleep for early monday. Got a ping half mile from my house. Almost always nice and quick rides here but 5 or 7 bucks. Hit START and just about fell over...it said Lakebay. $55 and home at 1030. Once I got back towards Gig Harbor i turned the app back on and it was 2.8X all of Pierce except DT Tacoma. I turned my app on and off about 8 times. I already been out since 9a and was kinda tired but adrenaline was high. But left it off. Didnt even bother setting my alarm. I also cracked just barely over 700 for week. Im super happy with that.

It has been unaccountably dead for me too. I do OK on weekends and early mornings but holy hell the rest of the week can be dead as a doornail. I've completed four NYT crossword puzzles this month loitering for fares.
