Day 58

 Today I had to start my day with a long morning meeting that didn't have a lot of relevance to me.  When we were done with our meeting, I sorted out the moldy bread, and then we headed to Sprouts to do our pick up.  Today we got 98 bags of popcorn, so we weren't really sure what we would do with that much.  I will have to be a salesman on Wednesday to get rid of it.  After we had put all the food away, we had to deep clean the pantry because we are having an inspection from Care and Share the next day.  We had to hose off a lot of the food bins that we had; we had to wipe out all of the fridges really well, and we had to go through our fridges and triple-check that there was no food in them going bad.  It took like 2 hours to hose everything off.  When we were done with the deep clean, I still had to do my basic cleaning tasks, and then we were done with the pantry and headed back to the office.  Once we had dropped some stuff off, we headed over to the Ceders, where we had a pumpkin patch.  The residents had picked and destroyed a lot of the good orange pumpkins, but we were able to salvage some of the green pumpkins and a lot of gourds.  We took the pumpkins back to the office, where we unloaded and cleaned them all.  We are planning to put them out at the pantry this week.  I did a few more random things at the office before heading home.  When I got there, Christian and Leigha had gotten home and had the e-bike almost all the way together.  Michael had supper ready almost right after I got home, so we had supper.  He had made chili con carne, which was really tasty.  After supper, we had worship night, and Trilby shared her faith story.  After worship night, I showered and headed to bed.

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...
