Pictures of Gary Allman — If you don’t see me in one of the pictures below it means I’m featured in a picture in the post.
Beauty and the (out of focus) beast (365:106) – I had a self portrait planned for today. It involved putting the camera on the tripod, gathering the family, and taking a picture with Dash and Leslie. The plan was fine, the execution impossible, I was just too busy taking the wedding pictures to fit it in. I’m lucky I got one at all, as I took two shots and this is the fairly heavily edited best of the pair.
Batch-loaded, inverted down-draft gassifier wood stove (365:105) – I spent some more time in the workshop today. One-minute read
It’s Thursday and this isn’t a picture of me studying. Just a quick picture of my cut hair on the floor, before I settled down studying for the day. At class this evening we took some time out to go down to the hospital to see our classmate John.
Laying down in my kayak isn’t too difficult (365:103) – On the other hand, getting up again is quite a struggle. Two-minute read, 3 pictures
Running repairs (365:102) – Today Tom and I went fishing on Stockton Lake. One-minute read
Fishing (365:101) – Today I went fishing with Tom on Table Rock Lake. Video: 1 minute. 3 pictures.
Today we didn’t get finished at A fairly typical Sunday (365:100) — Church until just before twelve. So here it is, an end-of-the-day, late-night self-portrait. Tomorrow I’m off fishing with Tom; should be fun!

My once a week ‘Studying’ picture (365:097) – Thursday keeps on coming around every week.
Reconnoiter (365:096) – In ten days time I’ve got to do a photo shoot. This afternoon Ginger and I spent some time on location checking the light and looking for suitable picture opportunities. What happens will all depend on the weather on the day. One-minute read, +2
More fun in the workshop (365:095) – Today we are building a “batch-loaded, inverted downdraft gasifier” wood stove out of old tin cans. 2 4
Trying out my new sleeping bag (365:094) – Technically speaking its a quilt and not a sleeping bag, however, the the net result is the same. I found a nice summer weight bag at 40% off retail price, hopefully it should be good for temperatures from 40°F up. One-minute read, 2 pictures
Family hike (365:093) — After church, we took all the kids hiking at Busiek, which meant having a bouncy twelve-year-old, a reluctant teenager, and an out and out surly teenager with us.4 pictures
Sprinky appears to be giving me the ‘evil eye’ (365:092) — You would have thought I would have got the hang of this self-portrait taking thingy by now. Alas that isn’t the case. immortalize any of these activities in the digital photographic medium? No. 2 pictures
Late night stand-by (365:091)
This month we helped out at the church pancake supper, the van broke down, I became a temporary Lutheran for Natalie’s baptism, had a beer with Tom and Rebbie, Breakfast with Jim and Carol, completed my annual accounts, we went hiking on four days and after sending the kids to Chicago, spent Spring break backpacking and camping. That brings our year to date totals to 8 days backpacking (36.5 miles), we’ve spent 9 nights under canvas and we’ve hiked 34 miles so far, a total of 70.5 miles.
Parallel Guide (365:090)
That’s it for today (365:089) – The problem with going away is processing all the pictures and writing it up when I get back. Still, I’m all caught up now and it’s all up and posted. I have to admit the last hour or so was wasted looking dumbly at the screen; I didn’t take anything in.
I spent too much time at the computer today.
Lunch break in the old barn on the Sac River Trail (365:087). Ginger has this habit of distracting me. 2 pictures

Trail shelter, Bluffs Trail, Meramec State Park (365:084) – I started the day with a monster hangover. Which, of course, was totally my own fault. I obviously ate far too much cheese. One-minute read, 4 pictures
