Day 82 November 13

 Today I was with maintenance.  We had a lengthy morning meeting, and then I headed out with Frank.  First, we went to UT and looked at a clogged toilet that was clogged further down than we could get, so we called the plumber.  Then we went to Alexander Court, where we met the leasing agents and did inspections.  The apartments were all in pretty good shape, except that a lot of outlets were bad for some reason.  When we were inspecting the laundry room, we found a whole bunch of furniture, so after the inspections, Frank and I hauled it all out.  When we were done at AC, we went to one of our MOP properties that I had never been to.  It turned out to be really close to the house.  We had a few things to do when we got there.  The first thing we did was turn her heat on for her.  Then I cleaned out her bathroom vent while Frank fixed one of her cabinets.  Then we worked together to try and get her screen door to shut better.  We had to give up because we didn't have the parts we needed.  This was a pretty weird door because there were three door frames all put together, with only one of them actually in use.  When we were done with the door, Frank took me out for pizza to his favorite pizza place for lunch.  When we got our food, we went to East Hills to eat our lunch, and then we fixed the front bumper on his van.  The next thing we did was go to Lowe's and get some outdoor lights to replace the broken ones at AC.  This took us quite a while and everyone of them gave us a different issue.  The craziest one had a hot wire for some reason, so we made a ball of fire when we took it apart.  We turned the breaker off, which was supposed to be for the light, but it didn't turn off, so we made another ball of fire.  We accidentally melted the threads on one of the screws we needed.  When we were done with the lights, we had to finish off the day by running to Colorado West to flip a breaker, but by the time we got over there, the resident had fixed it himself.  Then Frank took me back to the office, and I headed home.  When I got home, I relaxed for a while before making verenika casserole for supper.  After supper, I had more time to relax before finishing the evening watching the final episode of Severance.

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 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...

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.
