Day 178 March 10

 Today I was with maintenance.  I started my day heading down to Bentley, where I had to shovel all the dumpster enclosures.  When I had finished that, I had to help with some insurance inspections of Bentley.  I had to climb into a couple of attics to check heaters and change a couple of filters.  After that, we glued a drawer back together and then spent a while picking up trash and dog poop.  When we were tired of that, we pulled out a bunch of posts from around trees that were getting broken by kids anyway.  When all the posts were pulled Jenni picked me up and we went to Natural Grocers to do the pickup.  We barly got anything but we were glad we still got some stuff.  On our way to the pantry we picked up Doug at the office and then went to unload stuff.  While at the pantry I ate some lunch and then we headed to the Attrium for mobile market.  It was a beautiful day for it and we had a really good turnout.  We even were able to get some extra produce off the truck for our own pantry.  Then we headed back to the office.  When we got back I immidiently went back over to Bentley where I spent the rest of the day putting up blinds in a make ready.  At the end of the day I went back to the office and then on my way home I went biking in a nearby park that I had not spent much time in yet.  It was kind of nice.  When I got home I relaxed for a little bit and opened my care package from church.  I am so grateful for what is in there.  Then it was time for supper which Michael had prepared.  After supper I relaxed the rest of the evening 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.
