18 species of birds in the states feed on the Mountain Ash berry. If that tree was in Australia, Gang Gang Cockatoo's would most likely be eating them as well. They eat the red berries on Hawthorn's and are attracted to anything red as far as eating goes. They have developed something in their stomach that helps them digest red berries that are poisonous to most everybody else.

Bucket List Wish

A friend's Mom is always saying how she would love to drive a race car before she passes and this weekend I made that wish come true. I was going to put the car away for the winter and one of the things I do is drive around and use all the old gas and then fill it with fresh gas and some 'Sea Foam' before I put it away. I had half a tank of gas so I let her drive it for a couple hours. She took it up to 80 mph(128kph) and I guess now she will die a happy woman. Glad I could help! ;) I usually race at Lebanon Valley Dragway but it was closed so we looked for less travelled roads.

For years I was running the Darth Vader murdered out look. Black on black on black. My favorite color combination. '476' was the NHRA number assigned to me that day for racing. #19 is on the car right now.

My friend's Mom after the drive with a big smile on her face! I have added a 2" Cowl Induction front hood, new wheels, new tires, and a splash of paint on the fenders. I designed the skull with the racing flags and a friend free form painted the design on my fenders. I'm digging everything but the wheels. I think I will have the wheels powder coated black and the windows tinted black. Then we will be 'Back In Black' and I will be happy! Then it will be - Lord Vader Longball - your car is ready! :)

The above picture is the only picture that I have actually taken of the car after 35 years of ownership! And the picture is on her phone. I will do a photo shoot of it next year surrounded by my plants! :cool:

"...The mountain mist frog has been declared extinct on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list.
The frog was last seen in Australia in April 1990. Experts believe that this species was destroyed by chytrid fungus, a disease that attacks the skin, and has inflicted severe damage to amphibian populations all around the globe...
...The frog was most commonly seen near Thornton Peak, northwest of Cairns. It reached nearly six centimeters in length, and was usually grey or grey-brown..."

Not sure what kind of tree frog this guy is but he/she came inside my house to visit and avoid the heavy smoke during the deadly bushfires we had Downunder a couple years back. Possibly a Perons tree frogScreenshot_20221217-060740_Facebook_compress0.jpg
