SHIP'S LOG:

Denali XV

You can check the archive logs for the run-of-the-mill pickup and dropoff jobs I've been having, but this time I've really got something of note--prize laying "chickens" on their way to the Omaha Mutation Invitational. Got their own staff of attendants to help out with the trip, which means no chicken-shit shoveling for me. And these monsters look like they can really put out a lot. Half the weight is just their bio-engineered feed, then some pounds for their staff. Big paycheck and I'll I've got to do is drive the blimp? Dream job!

Most of my work is pick up and drop off in the greater Tri-Cities region. It's the kind of gig work that allows me the freedom I want, in terms of setting my own schedule. But you're still really under the heel of living check to check. So what's the alternative? Spend a few decades on long haul, put enough away into a 401k to retire in down south somewhere? If there was some way to just bust out of the system entirely, believe you me I'd take it.

I really went all in on the Denali XV. She's got muscle, and I didn't skimp on the upholstery and brass accents or the underglow lights. So it made sense to use it for work, since I can write it all off as a business expense on my taxes.

I took a job delivering for Zephyr Air Transport because I liked the idea of being my own boss, and I needed an additional income stream to help with the upkeep of my airship.
