Day 83 November 14

 Today was another maintenance day.  I started the day by going over to VSR with Tony.  We started by checking out all our make-readies, and then we did a property walk and picked up trash and changed out bags at pet stations.  After that, we had to make the long drive over to one of our new properties, where they had just topped out, and there was lunch for everyone there.  A nice Mexican restaurant was catering, so we had some really good food.  There were around 50 construction workers there who also got fed.  When we were done with lunch, we headed back to VSR. On the way, we stopped at UT to drop off a demand.  When we got to VSR, we tackled changing the filters for the heating and AC.  I spent most of my time cutting out the filters, but when I was done joined Tony in installing them.  When we were done with filters, I got to work on a make-ready.  I started by taking all the brackets and tacks off the walls that the cleaners missed.  Then I caulked a lot of holes in the walls.  After that, I sprayed Kils on all the spots on the walls so I could touch them up.  I ran out of kills, so then Tony had to go get more, which took enough time that we had to call it a day.  When I got home, I packed for camp and then ate some supper.  When everyone was ready, we drove up to camp and got settled into our rooms.  We are staying in the Pleaties.  Once we were settled in, we went down to the lodge and played some games for a while before heading 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 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.
