I've found a way to make a little cash on Saturdays. I drive my Amish neighbors to a Farmers Market where they sell baked goods and locally grown organic produce. The market is 33 miles away (66 miles RT), the total day is about 8.5 hours, and I pull a trailer with my pickup. The pay is $140 for the day.
I don't know what to figure for mileage/wear and tear on my pickup, because I'm pulling the trailer, and that uses extra gas. I'm ball parking it at $0.70 per mile. So that's about $46 in mileage. So that means I'm getting paid about $11 for my time. And, I'm building good will with my neighbors. Plus, it really is a good time. I have been put in charge of displaying and selling the produce during the market.
The only real negative is that we leave at 5:45 in the morning, which is early for me. And I get home wiped out.

I find I hate getting up super early in the morning. Probably because I did so many years for work.
