Day 206 April 6

 Today, we started by going to Sprouts to pick up food.  Then we went over to the pantry to put everything away.  When everything was put away, it was time to reorganize since we got a new fridge.  We decided to move our canned good storage shelf to a different wall so the fridge fits better.  Next, we adjusted a bunch of shelf racks so we could fit extra apples and potatoes on the shelf, so they would not be sitting on the floor.  We finished up by dealing with the doomsday food that was donated.  We had to repackage some of it, and we just put the rest out on our freebie shelf.  When we were done at the pantry, we headed over to Westside and delivered the bread.  When we got back to the office, we took our lunch.  After lunch, we had a volunteer show up who was going to get our library organized for us.  After we took her over there to get started, Jenni and I ran around and did a bunch of libraries.  After we were done with the libraries, I went to Goodwill to buy some more mats for the back of the van.  We always have problems with the boxes catching on the seat anchors in the back of the van, so we have to just cover them up.  We have just been using door mats or other mats that would be in a house as a temporary solution, and we needed some more.  After work, I rode home, and Christian had made some stuffed peppers for supper.  After supper, we had a worship night where we started a series on sabbath.  After worship night, we watched an episode of Firefly, and then I 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.
