Dave died at 2:15 pm CST today.

I never met him in person, but I did

speak with him on the phone and emailed.

He was a cool dude.

I'm so sad. Prayers to his sister, family and friends.

goodbye, Daveydoo!

Looking back over the years I have found out that Pinus strobus are usually the first conifers to succumb to adverse weather conditions in the Midwest. Most are vulnerable to excessive heat and drought. They need just the right amount of water to survive under these conditions. To much water or not enough will do them in. I also have foud if they are root bound even the slightest amount that could spell trouble especially if you do surgery before planting. I am currently down to one, 'Angel Falls'. I might have another cultivar lurking some where. It came as a conifer grown in a wooden box. A big conifer that when unpacked had a very fine root system and was not the least root bound. It has performed beautifully over the years. The key for survival with these cultivars centers in the roots. I think they need to be spot on for any chance of survival. Bump them out of the pot at the nursery before you purchase them. Most will be rejects. "I might have another lurking somewhere". I need to go find it. Pretty bad when you don't remember what you are growing. Dave

Marcia, I had Duchess of Albany for 3 years, but it was planted out in the open, no shelter at all. Is yours planted up against a building? If it is, it'll have a much better shot at living I would imagine. Mine did ok the first year, but went into decline the next 2 years. It's the same story for my John Paul II, and Ville de Lyon, and Jackmanii.....there's so many nice hardy types of clematis out there, I think I'll stick to them. I also just picked up Durandii, so we'll have to compare notes together.;^) Gillian, I've also noticed that my Orientals are looking really robust this year. I wonder if it depends on how far down the frost gets to in the winter, as to how well they do the next year? I expected/hoped that the ones on the south side of the house would do well, but even those out in the island bed have multiplied as well.

I once got to meet Peter Noone backstage and got a big old sexy (but sweaty) hug. He is very handsome and could easily pass for 35. He puts on a great show. Too bad about Mike Smith, RIP.

We won't go into the why of this lifestyle change as it's none of my business so let's make sure the 1985 is not going to be a major money pit. Have you checked out the flooring to make sure it's solid and hopefully not pressed board. Look underneath the bathroom toilets and the kitchen sink for water damage. If the floors are not good sub flooring there will be major problems there. I'd hate to see you get up in the wee hours to go to the bathroom and fall through the floor. Do your homework regarding the different types of surfaces in your MH and what it takes to get a coat of paint to stick. Most of the surfaces in these older MH's are some form of plastic. Not properly done paint just peels off. What you want to do can be done but just do your homework so that you don't have to spend money later removing it and doing it over which would be much more costly. How about the roof. Check the ceilings in all rooms including closets for water stains and also go up and check the roof for problems. Why buy someone elses problems? Good luck.

RIP Dave. You will be missed.

I met Dave at Buzzard's get-together...in fact, he won the gift I took to exchange, a ceramic western boot with a bunch of bluebonnets in it. He was very special and will be dearly missed by lots and lots people.
Dave, by now you've met my angel Neva; RIP my friend.

I am so sad to hear this news. Dave left so many gifts to us, his humor, his beautiful photography; his being one of the gang around the KT table. I too remember how much fun we all had at the Friday night parties...

Our loss is heavens gain. Peace and love to his family and friends.

Dave was a really nice, funny and talented man and we'll all miss him. I will always treasure the set of stemware that I bought from him when he was going to auctions and selling on Ebay. And my FlamingO t-shirt that he made me for our first little KT get-together we had here at my house, he was supposed to come but had to work. Summer, YaYa and Gabby each have one, too, I think.

It's so sad that he's gone.
