Day 65

 Today was a crazy day.  We started by going to Sprouts and picking up our donation and it was pretty slim as expected.  We got it all put away at the pantry and then I got the cleaning done.  When I was done cleaning we tried to get out temp gun calibrated but we relized we gave away the pot that we had at the pantry so we coulnt boil any water.  After that we went back to the office and had lunch.  After lunch we ran over to Colorado West to get some keys from a resident.  Then we went back to Plaza because a resident wanted to give us three 75 inch TVs.  He didnt want to tell us how he got them and we didnt ask.  We couldnt fit all three in our van so we had to make 2 trips.  When we first went over to Plaza there were a whole bunch of cops there because their had been a fight and apparently a protitute hanging out there.  Not good.  When we got the TVs unloaded we went over to Woodbine and picked up some books to restock libraries.  We went to North Weber, Colorado West, and the main office.  After we were done with books it I got off work and headed home where Michael had supper ready soon.  We had some chicken vegtable wraps.  After supper Leigha told her faith story which was very interesting to learn about her expirence in Kenya.  Then we had a last minute decsion to go up to Arura and do Activate again.  The fall pass that we had bought came with a few more passes to use so we thought we better take advantage of it.  It was about like last time and then we got home around 11 since we didnt start until after 8.

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...
