☕️ No Pleasure, Just Business my 9 AM ritual started as a joke. Every morning I’d down a double espresso at 9 sharp, skip the fancy craft stuff, and jump back on the road within 5 minutes. It became a habit. Then a friend (who happens to own a coffee shop) joined me, and the joke stuck: no pleasure, just business. Later I discovered Skool and thought why not turn that 9 AM coffee into a 9 AM meeting here? So today’s the first time I’m going live to test this out. Still learning the platform, but definitely here to have some fun too. 🚀

This week’s been a grind slow rides, hiccups, and then the big one: I didn’t notice the gas gauge slipping down to empty. Ended up pulling the classic “walk of shame” with a portable tank, topping up, and getting back on the road. Honestly, I’ll take that over a blown engine or major repair any day. Sometimes it’s better to get humbled by the small stuff than crushed by the big stuff. Now I’m at the crossroads: 👉 Do I push Thursday morning to make up ground? 👉 Or wait it out and hit the weekend hard when the rides (and money) really flow? Curious what you all would do. Anyone else ever been caught in the same situation?

Today was one of those moments that could’ve ruined my whole shift. My Explorer started shaking, then shut off. No codes, no lights. I thought the worst maybe the engine blew, maybe I waited too long on the oil change. I slowed down, checked things over, and realized the truth I had simply run out of gas. A small problem, but the panic made it feel like the end of the world. I filled up, turned the key, and just like that back in business. 👉 Lesson: Before assuming the worst, check the basics. Low fuel, loose connections, simple fixes. Panic makes it 10x worse than it really is. 🛑 Pit Stop takeaway: Stay calm, troubleshoot step by step, and keep rolling. ❓️What’s the scariest ‘car problem’ you had on shift that turned out to be something simple?
