Day 121 January 6

 Today I was with maintenance.  Before I could even get in the office, Bill was ready for me to ride over to an eviction with him.  It was over at Rocky Mountain.  The resident was not present, and the apartment was in excellent condition.  While everybody was there, we had our morning meeting.  I was over at Bentley with Tony today.  We started by checking out a make-ready where we touched up some paint, tightened some drawers and cabinets, and tightened up items in the bathrooms.  We had a hard time figuring out the paint color for the ceiling since nothing was labeled.  When we were done with that, make ready, we went to another one where I touched up some paint and tightened up a drawer.  We also fixed the garbage disposal, but these make-readies were very easy.  When we were done with the make-readies, we went to check out a work order where there was a gap under their front door.  We needed weather stripping to seal it up, so we made a run to Home Depot.  When we got back, we finished up that work order, and while Tony worked, I played with the resident's dog so that Tony could actually work and not have a dog crawling on him.  When we were done with that work order, we went and checked out some accordion doors that were not closing right.  We started by reattaching the slide since it had pulled out of the wall, which improved the door, but it still did not close properly.  We ran out of time to finish getting them fixed.  When I got home from work, we had supper, which Michael had prepared, and then we had a free evening.  I spent the evening playing with Naomi and holding Josiah, while Christian, Leigha, and I started a Terraforming Mars game.  After a while of doing that, I 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 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.
