Day 141 January 30

 Today I was over at Bentley again.  I started by going through the make-readies with Tony to see what else they needed.  When we had finished, we went over to our storage unit, but we forgot the keys and came back.  When we came back, we got caught up, and it was no longer worth going back to the storage unit.  Instead, we went and looked at a sink clog.  It appeared it was clogged a lot deeper than we could get to, so we put some liquid heat down the drain, which made it good enough to use through the weekend.  When we were finished with that, I went and put a door kicker on, and then it was already the end of the day.  When I got home, I played with Naomi for a while, and then I went to the nearby gourmet mac and cheese restaurant and got lunch.  After lunch, I went to the phone store where they cleaned my charging port out so it would charge again.  When I got back to the house, I played some video games before getting ready for Greccio's winter celebration in the evening.  It was at an event center downtown, and we were supposed to dress up.  When I got there, I stood around for a while talking to people and eventually sat down with some food and a drink I got with my drink voucher.  After people had mostly eaten, there were speeches about Greccio and the people involved.  After the speeches, people started heading out, and I did the same.  Jenni gave me a ride home, and when I got home, I went 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.
