    I've been thinking about accesories that the RED camera is going to be needing. One item that I have not seen mentioned is a crash housing. With it's compact size and low profile the RED would be perfect for this use! Here in Orygun we have lots of scrap metal due to the fact that ninety five percent of the wood mills have been shut down. This is mainly due to those tofu sucking, tree hugging hippies up in Eugene. Anyhow as I say we have lots of good scrap iron laying around and everybody has a welding machine in there barn or shed, (gotta have one to fix the brush hog when it breaks down not to mention doing occasional spot welds on the gun rack in the pickup). So I'm thinking, Hey here's a way to make a quick buck (oh that reminds me gotta pick the deer rifle up from the shop). As I used to make these suckers for Eyemos back when if anybody would like to drop their camera off for a couple of months I'll get right on it.

    yours,

    Chuck

    You're a hoot, Chuck. In Chicago we prefer tommy Guns to rifles--not that there's anything wrong with that, though.

    So, what's a barn?

    Hey Formerly lpcvideo1,

    Yeah I'm hep. I was born in a booth of a bar in Hillside, Illinois. (Charleys Tavern) You certianly knew who you were buying your liquor from and who supplied the jukebox, pool table etc. I grew up in the little town of Lake Zurich. I think that's part of the reason I moved to So. Oregon after living in L.A. for thirty five years.
    Oh, a barn is a place you put anything that won,t fit in the shed.

    Chuck

    I've got some friends that live in Lake Zurich, over by there.

    Oh, barn. You mean where you keep the snow mobile.

    Chuck you crack me up!

    I love Orygun! I bought a house on 20 acres of forest on the West side of Mount Hood, in 1977 and lived there for 2 years - it was unreal! I was livin' the full-on Grizzly Adams thing - big beard, dirt bike, guns, and a "Don't Californicate Oregon" sticker on my F150 (which I put on it as soon as I moved to Oregon from California!). A stream went through my acreage - I'd fish for dinner.

    The downside was that the next town up the mountain was named Zig Zag. Friends and family got a lot of mileage out of that!

    Gibby,

    Jeeze Gibby this is too wierd! My truck is a 1977 F250. My bumper sticker says "The more people I meet the more I love my dog". I had 19.7 acres on (I swear this is true) Dead Indian Road. Which was just around the bend from Howard Prarie and Hyatt lakes two of the premier trout fishing lakes in Or.
    Oh, and by the way there is a old movie theater that has been shut down for years in the lovely little town of "DRAIN" just off of I-5 that would make a wonderful screening room for 2/4k! lol

    Just have the camera drop shipped to me and I'll get right on that crash housing.

    Hey Gibby,

    If you are ever doing any shooting up this way, I would be proud to pull cable, hold the shinney board, provide security (Colt 357 King Cobra with hydra shock rounds and Jake the dog who is a 130lb. Alsatian/German Rottweiler mix) for you.

    I'll make a point of stoppin' by. I'll bring the RED One, RED Bull, (sorry no Panama Red), and my longbarrel S & W .44 magnum, and you bring the .357, vittles, dawg, and poles.

    By the sound of Jake, guess I better leave the wife's Corgi at home - but the wife's my sidekick almost everywhere I go...
