Day 110 December 11

 Today I was with maintenance.  After the morning meeting, I rode with Frank over to Colorado West to do inspections.  After inspections, we had to go over to UT to unclog a toilet.  Thankfully, it was not too bad.  After that, we had to go back to the office so I could climb on the roof and try to find where a squirrel got in.  I found one of the fans not running, so we are guessing that was the issue.  After that, we went to Woodbine and put up a notice on everybody's door to tell them to get their cars out of the way for tree trimming tomorrow.  Then we went to Kittyhawk to look at a door screen that needed to be replaced.  We figured out what we needed, went to Lowe's to get the screen, and installed it.  After that, we went back to Woodbine to try to complete some work orders, but no one answered the door.  Then we went over to AC to meet the leasing agents and break into one of the storage units because the resident did not live there anymore.  After that, we got in contact with some of the people at Woodbine, so we went back.  We had to replace some blinds, so we measured them and then went to Lowe's to buy the ones we needed.  When we got back, the resident wouldn't answer the door to let us back in, so we had to give up again.  While we were there, we replaced somones expired fire extinguisher as well.  Then Frank took me back to the office, and we called it a day.  Soon after I got home, Christian, Naomi, and I biked to Old Colorado City to check out the German Christmas Market.  It was pretty cool and had some interesting booths.  They even had live music and a brewery.  When we were done looking around, we biked home, looking at Christmas lights along the way.  When we got home, I made some chicken sandwiches for supper and a quesadilla for Naomi.  After supper, I relaxed for a while before going 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.
