Day 158 February 17

 This morning, one of my favorite maintenance guys quit, which made me really disappointed.  After the meeting, Vern, the new maintenance guy, and I took the big van over to Bentley and moved a stove out of a unit and into our storage unit.  After that, I took him back to the office so he could take his personal vehicle home, and then I picked him up at his house.  The wind was really strong on the highway, so driving the huge van was a little interesting.  When I had picked him up, we went back to Bentley, where he dropped me off.  I joined up with Alden, and we went and reset more outlets, and I turned a lady's heat on for her.  Then we had to look at a broken garbage disposal, which was under warrenty so we could not do anything.  After that, we cleaned a few more vestibules.  Once our battery for our scrubber died, we went to Home Depot to get a mop and bucket, and then we got some lunch.  After lunch, we had to go back to the storage unit and find some carpet in it.  At the end of the day, we decided to fix the broken gate to the playground.  Since we did not have any bolts for it, we went back to Home Depot and got the bolts, but by then it was late in the day, and he took me back to the office.  When I got home, I relaxed for a little while before Michael prepared supper.  After supper, I relaxed for a while, and then we finished the evening by playing some Overcooked.

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.
