Thanks for the complements, Art. 

I used a Apple QuickTake 200 for the photos, these units are available 
for $249 (they are discontinued) and this is a hell of a bargin price. It 
uses these tiny 4meg memory cards to store 44 high-rez images.

On the P-weight, you know theres no reason why the bolt cant be installed 
on the side of the gully rather than on the back. Darn, wish I'd of done 
it that way, now that I think about it.
