Day 161 February 20

 Today is half day friday.  We started by going to Home Depot to buy a shelf for the maintenance room, and when we got to Bentley, we put the shelf together, and it is pretty awesome.  After we had the shelf together, we went and let the junk guys into the make-ready.  While we were letting them in, we saw that the concrete plant across the road from Bentley was on fire. We all stood on the balcony for a while and watched the fire.  When we were done with that, we went and did some more work on the maintenance room door so that it could at least lock over the weekend.  Then we had to go pass out some notices to a few different properties for reinspections.  We had to go to Ceders, Woodbine, and East Hills.  After we left East Hills, we had to go to UP and see the flood that Josh was dealing with.  Since Alden was on call, he was going to have to stay with the vendor, so Josh was showing us around.  When we went into one lady's apartment, she got really upset at me for no reason and all and cussed me out until I finally had to just leave her apartment.  She said it was because I looked at her wrong.  Thankfully, the other maintenance guys will defend me because she said she was going to the office to tell them about me.  After that disaster, Alden took me home.  When I got home, I ate lunch and then relaxed for the afternoon.  Around 3:30, I started on supper since we were eating early.  I made a meatloaf, and while it was baking, I made some cream corn to go along with it.  At 5, we ate supper together, and then after supper, I relaxed for the rest of the evening.

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.
