Day 195 March 26

 Today was ski day.  We took the bus over to the resort, then warmed up on the bunny slopes for a bit before heading over to Peak 8 and hitting some better runs.  We hit a blue slope a few times, and then we decided to try something harder, and it was much harder between the huge moguls and lots of big patches of dirt. It was quite challenging.  Most of the slopes there had only a few inches of snow on them and lots of trees, dirt, and rocks poking through.  After that crazy run, we stopped for some lunch in the food court and then got back to it.  After lunch on the first lift up, I dropped my glove and then had to ski down to get it.  I found some other really fun trails between peak 8 and peak 7, and some other good ones on peak 7.  I decided to try to jump the moguls on one of the last runs, which caused a lot of crashes.  Michael and I caught the last lift and took the longest way down we could.  When we were done sking we took the gondola down to the parking lot, where the bus picked us up.  When we got back to the lodge, we got rid of our snow gear and then went out for supper.  After supper, we hot tubbed for a while and then got packed up and hit the road.  As we were pulling out, we almost hit a moose because it ran out in front of us.  When we got home, we were all exhausted, so we went straight 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.
