Happy Halloween - Weekend!

Let the Weekend Begin!!
Saturday brought forth an amazing display of skills on two wheels at Trials from the Crypt.
A National bicycle trials competition at which Jim declined to participate but chose to
to judge instead. Competitors from around the US and the world came to play on the rocks here in Durango. Stown and I helped time the rounds and keep the spectators out of the course. I didn't have much time to snap pictures but here are a few.....
Keep in mind these guys "bunny-hop" off the ground to reach these rocks and then hop from rock to rock... What balance and strength!!

Aran Cook (Great Britain)- the Pro Class Winner

Jonathan Tollerud - Finished in the top 4 in the Pro Class

Jim judging - Rider unknown



Sunday - Tricks and Treats
We weren't the only ones dressing up for All Hallows Eve.
Our house desperately needed a new front door. The original had seen it's share of harsh winters and blazing summer sun, it was time to retire it from it's years of loyal duty.

Old Door -(Notice how the frame on the left is damaged) - over the past few years a random neighbor cat had decided to use it as a scratching post and a pissing place. An obvious territorial act due to the fact that our cat stays indoors and cannot mark her own yard.

Stown
Give a boy a hammer and a pry bar and he's in Heaven destroying things!

Brand Spankin' New Door
(Still need to spot paint over the caulk we used to seal the frame.)


Finally - Time to Play!!
Jim worked too late,
so Stown and I dressed up and went to town with friends for some trick or treatin'.
Like a real construction pro, I had my shovel to lean on, while the Cheshire cat pranced around.

A bit confused? Perhaps calling for a rescue from the weird cat?

Our Ghoulish Friends
Hope you had a productive and fun weekend.
Still to come... the Mysterious Camping Visitor...
