Day 207 April 7

 Today I was over at Bentley.  We started by watering our retention pond and then checking out an apartment that we thought might be abandoned.  After that, I got to work on some make-readies.  The first one I went to, I glued a drawer back together, and that was it.  Then I went to another make ready and put on some new door stops and fixed a door hinge.  The next make-ready, I had to touch up and reinstall some sliding closet doors.  I also had to patch some holes in the walls and do some touch-up painting.  Then I headed to the next make-ready.  In this make-ready, all we had to do was finish installing a door.  We got the holes for the new hinges cut and then got the door hung.  Once the door was hung, we took a lunch break.  After lunch, I had to go remove tape from a door that someone had put on there to try to mess up the door.  Then we had to go install a new screen door for a lady.  After that, I went and got the door painted that we hung and put the door handle on.  I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up.  When I got back to the office, my bike had a flat tire, so Jenni gave me a ride home.  When I got home, I took the tire off, and then it was time for supper.  Michael made fried chicken and cheesy vegetables, which were really good.  After supper, I finished fixing my bike, and then we had a game night with Jane and Elliot from church.  We decided to play Terraforming Mars, which took like 3 hours.  I went to bed well after midnight.

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.
