Day 19

Today I started my day by going over to Moreno Apartments with Posh.  He is another maintenance person.  We had to go over and fix a ventilation fan.  Then some of the leasing agents and Bill met us there, and we did some inspections.  We have to go through the house and make sure appliances are working, outlets are good, the fire extinguisher is good, and access overall cleanliness.  We had to write a few people up for having a dirty apartment, and we found a few issues with the apartments.  When we were done with inspections, I rode with Bill over to the Ridge.  We had to check on a make-ready apartment.  The previous tenants' kids had drawn on the walls with crayon, so not only did the whole apartment really need to be cleaned, but it also needed to be fully repainted.  We were there after the cleaning but before the painting.  When we were done with that, we headed over to Bently, where Bill showed me what to do to take pictures of the apartments.  We take pictures so we have proof of what it looked like before someone moves in and tries to tell us that something was broken before they moved in. We have proof it wasn't broken.  I spent all afternoon doing that, and then I had to help get a stray dog taken care of.  They had put him in a fence at Bentley because he was running around the parking lot.  He was a really friendly dog and was very goofy on the ride back to the office.  Then we decided to bring him to the office to meet everyone.  He got fed a lot of dog treats.  After work, I went home and made tacos as my meal for the week.  After supper, we had a worship night where we focused on writing out our faith stories as a timeline.

Day 28

We got up at 3:30, hoping to hit the road at 4 and then be on the trail at 4:30.  We were pretty close to on time.  We were hiking Mount Princeton.  Since we were in a van, we had to hike from the lower parking lot up a Four Wheel Drive trail for 3 to 4 miles.  When we finally hit single track, it didn't take long for us to be rock scrambling.  We had about 3 miles of rock scrambling to the top.  About half of it was just along the side of the mountain, but then we really turned uphill and had a pretty steep scramble to the top.  We finally made it to the top, and it was an amazing view for a little bit.  A snowstorm was moving in quickly, and we watched it start from a nearby mountain and slowly come toward us.  We had a slippery scramble down the shale on the mountain.  Then the snowstorm caught us, and it was kind of just a sleet, but it made all the rocks very slippery.  By this point, some people were fighting headaches.  ...

Day 26

Today I was with maintenance again.  We started off by going to Arcadia to do some inspections.  These rooms were much better kept than the last apartment we did inspections in.  We only had to do 3 rooms, so it didn't take long.  Then Bill took me over to Bentley, where I continued taking pictures again.  I did pictures most of the day, and then Bill picked me up at about 3:30 and we headed back to the office.  It was my day to cook, so I decided to make a pizza, which turned out pretty well.  After supper, we decided to try another community youth group for young adults again.  It was kind of like a church service with singing and a sermon.  I was not super into it because it was a non-denominational group, and they just do things a little differently.  On the bike ride home, my chain fell off while crossing the bridge over the highway.

Day 32

Today was pantry day.  Since Trilby hurt her finger yesterday, she tagged along with me to the pantry.  I started by running to Home Depot to get a wagon wheel for the wagon at the pantry.  When I got back from Home Depot, we picked up Doug and went over to the pantry.  Jenni was sick today.  We dropped Doug off at the pantry and then went to pick up the food at Sprouts and Trader Joe's.  We had a relatively light haul from Sprouts, but a fairly substantial haul from Trader Joe's.  We got everything put away in the pantry in record time and then had time for a good, long lunch break.  There were not a lot of good options for lunch, but eventually I found a pretty good sandwich.  After lunch, we started the pantry and had about 20 to 30 people come through.  It was not that many people at the end of the month, because usually by that time their government funds have run out.  Once we hit about 2 o'clock, we pretty much didn't have an...
