Dog house and dream home

We did the usual bike rides over the weekend and it was a little cool Saturday morning, and it was the last ride before the time change. The Saturday ride will now move to a 9 o'clock start, I much prefer the early start so more of the day is left, but with the colder weather I guess more people like the later start.

This picture is of the dog house I have started building for Sprocket our dog, it will be finished in another week or two and will allow us to get away for a few days at a time without the faithfull companion. As long as he is on good behavior he will still be a mostly inside dog.
We were also invited to some of our freinds lake house on Lake Texoma, they purchased this house and did a lot of work and tree trimming and the result is this view from the living room and patio.
We also hiked a nice loop trail down to the lake and back that is about a mile or so, with half of it up steep hills and half of it down hill. I would love to have a place like this but it's not in the plan unless we hit the lotto.

This weekend we plan on a nice camping trip with the dog and bicycles To Fairfield State Park, we like this park a lot but wanted to try a new one near Austin but they were all full.

Doing better than I deserve
