      Gudday Bruce
      We are certainly having an effect on those creatures about us. Remember the photo of the little rainbow Lorikeet I posted. Well those little fellas use to be a migratory bird large flocks roaming up the Eastern Coast of Australia following the Flowering and Fruiting. Now with the patches of bushland being fragmented and used for agriculture they don't migrate. Agriculture and introduce plants enable them to settle in one area. It has had the effect that say a "lorrie from Nowra in NSW is a distinct Sub Species differing from a bird from around Brisbane.
      The large tree in my back yard is a used as a nursery by the local "Lorries". one adult will stay with up to 6 flying baby birds while there parents forage as pairs and return to feed there young from time to time.
      Their still a flock bird and even though they forage in small groups during the day they come together at night in large groups.
      Our large shopping centres here have a picture theatre, pubs, and restaurants located on the outside of the main building that are used at night, meaning that the outside areas are light till quite late.
      The "lorries" have taken to roosting in the trees surrounding so they can socialise. The continuous screeching and chattering is deafening. The closest trees have had to be pruned otherwise its just to noisy to sit outside. The little "lorries" are the lucky ones that can adapt, but there are many of the small parrots particularly the smaller ground dwelling ones that are under threat from lose of habitat and predation by introduced species like cats and pigs.

        so that must be where the expression "pigs might fly" comes from.

          We're coming up summer and have already had our first storms. I've been pottering along and have built a storm door to stop the rain beating in on those hearth bricks
          This is MK 1 just a ply prototype but it seems to be working an we had 2 small storms test it out
          Regards dave
          Dave, do you have a better picture of the oven showing the storm door and the entire oven. I found this one on your thread. I am playing with a couple of simple ideas for locking it in. Bruce

              Rear of storm door ( sorry left handed I phone shot so it upside down )
              Basically a piece of ply with an internal aluminium lip that goes into the oven entrance. A piece of 3x4 hardwood to make it more stable at the bottom. The brick is overkill and tends to fall on your foot when removing the door, I'm thinking about that one.
              It appears to be doing the job, we have had a couple of good storms and have only got a little seepage at one corner. Will have to cut a notch in the bottom edge of the aluminum to encourage it to drip on the outside, or perhaps some of that door seal material cause my brickwork ain't the straightest.
              Anyway life a bit busy at the moment so it works and has proved the concept, so I will leave it till after Xmas. That ply will not last to long so I will have to complete it can't just leave it like that cause it works.

                  Had friends over for the ACC Championship Game. Our football team, FSU, is ranked #1 and will play for the national championship against the #2ranked team if we win tonight. I cooked the pizzas about an hour before the game and reheated as needed so I could actually watch the game.

                    Did they taste alright?
                    1 hour from cooking to reheat is not long anyway not like the store bought ones that are weeks old.

                      Brickie, they were easy to reheat and tasted great. Any other ways to deal with this situation?

                          Love getting up next morning cause I've hidden some pizza in the beer fridge downstairs so the son doesn't find them. A cup of coffee, open the oven door stir any coals up and reheat them on the floor. Can't beat those early mornings.....

                            I always make extra and fridge it. The people who have dropped around and ended up with hot pizza in a few minutes from the cooling oven reckon they are streets ahead of the commercial things and enjoy them.

                            I think they are good for a couple of days in a sealed container if refrigerated but I take cold pizza when I go fishing so the opinion of my guests is probably more reliable.

                                Greenman, I do the same thing, I try to make extra (though sometimes my guests see it as a challenge and do their best not to insult be by leaving any leftovers ). We store the pizza in ziplock plastic bags in the fridge. We reheat in the WFO if still hot, otherwise in our toaster oven (never in the microwave).

                                We won 45 to 7 over Duke. We are expected to be playing Auburn for the national championship on Jan 6, 2014. By the way, our woman's soccer team is playing UCLA later today for the national championship in that sport. Also, how did your rugby team finish up? Bruce
