Day 186 March 17

 Today I was with maintenance.  We started our day by taking the van to the mechanic's shop for an oil change.  Then Bill dropped us off at Bentley.  I started my day at Bentley by checking on a make-ready to see what needed to be done.  Then I picked up a bunch of trash.  When I was finished, I went to sweep and mop a finished make-ready.  After that, we did the filters in building 9.  It went pretty well for me because I only had to talk to one resident.  When I was done doing the filters, I went to talk to Carrolyyn about an apartment that was really dirty and needed to be demanded.  While I was in her office, I got yelled at by a resident for absolutely no reason.  After that, we went and cleaned a vestibule quick because one of our investors was coming to see some apartments.  Then I took my lunch.  After lunch, I went and checked out another make ready to see what needed to be done.  Then I noticed all the apartments in building 7, so we could do filters later in the week.  After that, I did some patchwork in a make-ready, and then, to finish my time at Bentley, I started on some painting.  At the end of the day, Albert gave me a ride back to the office, and I headed home.  When I got home, I relaxed for a while, and then we had supper.  During supper, I held Josiah, and I tried to eat my fingers.  After supper, I relaxed the rest of the evening and then went 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.
