Day 240 May 18

 This morning, I started by going to Sprouts for the pickup.  I was, of course, stuck in construction, and it took a long time.  On my way to the pantry, I stopped at the office and picked up Jenni.  When we got to the pantry, we had to unload quickly because we had to get up to the Attrium.  Jenni thought she was driving people to the bowling alley.  When we got there, they decided they would rather just carpool than have us drive them, so that was a waste of time.  Then we headed to Westside to drop off the bread.  Then we headed back to the office for lunch.  After lunch, I headed out to do some libraries and drop off the rest of the flyers for Crystal.  Handing out flyers at the big properties took a long time.  When I was done with that, I went back to the pantry and made sure everything was more organized since we did not spend much time there earlier.  When I was done at the pantry, I dropped the books off at Woodbine and then went back to the office to drop some stuff off.  Then I headed over to Home Depot to look at wagons and see if there was a good deal.  After that, I went to Santa Fe and picked up some more dirt to give out on Wednesday.  After that, I headed back to the office, and we did some more wagon shopping to finish the day.  When I got home, we started a worship night sermon series.  It was a pretty good first sermon.  After worship night, I had some supper, and then we ended the night by finishing watching Serenity.

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.
