🏞️ How to use Trask Days

Planning our lake weekends β€” the best dates, who's bringing what, and what already lives out there.

1

Make your account

Click Create an account with your name, email, and a password (6+ characters). You'll get your own color that shows up next to your name around the site.

Forgot your password later? Just text Josh β€” he can reset it for you.

2

Mark when you're free

The Calendar is the home screen. Tap any day to cycle through your availability:

  • In β€” first tap
  • Maybe β€” tap again
  • Out β€” tap again (one more clears it)

You'll see everyone's dots build up. Off to the side, ✨ Best weekends automatically ranks upcoming Fri–Sun dates by how many of us are free. Hit "Plan this weekend" on a suggestion to turn it into a real trip.

The more people fill in their availability, the better the suggestions β€” it takes 30 seconds.

Weekends & meal planning

The Weekends tab holds each trip. Every weekend has its own shopping + meal planner:

  • 🧺 General β€” the catch-all stuff: drinks, ice, snacks, paper towels.
  • 🍳 Breakfast / πŸ₯ͺ Lunch / πŸ” Dinner β€” a box for each meal, each day.
  • You can name a meal right in its box (e.g. "Taco night").

Type an item into any box and hit + to add it. Add a quantity if you want.

Claim what you'll buy & print

Next to each item:

  • βœ“ β€” check it off once it's bought.
  • Claim β€” tap to say "I've got this one." Your name shows up so we don't all buy the same hot dogs.

When you're ready to shop, hit πŸ–¨ Print my list at the top of the weekend. It prints a clean checklist of just the items you claimed, grouped by meal β€” perfect for the grocery run.

5

The Pantry

The Pantry tab is everything that already lives at the lake, so we stop re-buying stuff. It's split by where it's stored:

  • Welches' Lot
  • Angie's Lot
  • Messer's Lot

Add an item, pick its lot, and flag it ⚠ Low when we're running out so someone can grab more.

Works great on your phone β€” add it to your home screen for one-tap access. Everything updates live, so what you see is what everyone sees.

Lost or stuck? Ask Josh. See you at the lake 🚀
