Day 166 February 26

 Today I was with maintenance.  I started by going with Dion to Woodbine to paint a room and do some work on an exhaust fan.  We had to hurry out of there because we had to get to an eviction at Bentley.  The resident was still in their apartment, and the cops had to detain the person and walk them out.  There was also a ton of stuff we had to move out.  It took about an hour and a half.  Then we had to go to VSR and do another eviction.  Thankfully, they were not there this time, and there was only a handful of stuff to move.  After that eviction, we went out to lunch at El Super Taco with a few maintenance guys.  I had some tacquitos which were delicious.  After lunch, we went back to Woodbine and finished up by trashing it out and cleaning up all the tools.  When we were done at Woodbine, we went over to Santa Fe, where we checked out a make-ready that was completely destroyed.  We made a long list of stuff we needed and called some vendors.  When we were done inspecting, we went and searched through our storage rooms looking for some supplies, and then we got stopped by a lady and had to talk about her blinds for a while.  Then we went back to the office to talk to Bill.  While we were at the office, we got a call from Sam's Pest Control, and they were back over at Santa Fe and needed to be let in, so we had to go back.  After we were done with the bug guy, we went over to Citadel Arms and met Josh and Todd and filled them in on the eviction they missed.  When we were done talking, we headed back to the office, and when I went in to get my backpack, I set off the alarms because, apparently, everyone had left.  When I got home, I ate some supper and ice cream and then hung out with Christian and Leigha for a while 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.
