Day 157 February 16

 Today I slept in till 8, but it felt like I slept in till 10.  When I got up, I had some breakfast and then cleaned up my room.  We made some chicken patties for lunch, and then after lunch, we cleaned the garage, and I fixed our fence gate.  When the garage was cleaned, I decided to go on a bike ride to Garden of the Gods.  While I was there, I eyed up the Manitou Incline and decided I was going to go climb it.  I bike from Garden of the Gods over to the trailhead.  When I got there, my phone was almost dead, and I did not bring any water.  I called Christian and Leigha to come pick me up when I was about halfway up, and my phone died completely.  I just gave them a rough estimate, and I was right on time.  The hike was much harder then I thought it would be but I was still the fastest one on the trail.  The view from the top was really good, but there was a really cold wind, so I did not stay long.  When I got off the trail, Leigha picked me up, and I got cleaned up before we had some nachos for supper.  After supper, Leigha led worship night, and we tried to see how far we could read through Mark since we had heard so much about Mark over the weekend at camp.  We made it to chapter 12.  After worship night, I held Josiah for a while so Christian and Leigha could clean up.  Then we played some Overcooked.  When we were done gaming, I made a bunch of breakfast burritos for the week and then finished reading the rest of Mark 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.
