Daveomak?

[mneeley490]

Hi, just wondering if anyone has heard anything about Daveomak lately? He hasn't posted anything since Feb '24. For some reason, I am unable to im him here. He lives in a particularly hot part of the state, and I was just concerned.

Yup... I think of him often and wonder myself ...

I believe RS has been permanently retired from the SMF. Too bad he and I got along so well LOL.

YEAH, SAME HERE CHRIS. HE HAD SOME SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES GOING ON WHICH WAS WHY HE HAD TO MOVE TO THE HOUSTON AREA, WHICH HE WASN'T VERY FOND OF. GREAT GUY. RAY

I didn't see eye to eye with him sometimes (ok, a lot of time) but I think we developed a mutual respect of sorts, for each other, one ornery old fart to another.

As for daveomak , I never really got close to him though we have both been here for a long time. I hope he is well.

Ive been around a little while and was wondering about Dave. He helped me out when I was building my RF smoker. He work through many calculations and provided much insight!

I hope things are alright.

Ray, If you're saying that Dave has passed away that is a sad event.

 

[DougE]

Last I recall, Dave was working on a walk-in cooler for processing meat. May just be busy with that project.

I believe Ray meant experience wise. At least. I hope so.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT STEVE. I'M NOT POSITIVE BUT I BELIEVE DAVE IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING. DAVE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN MIFFED, AND FOR GOOD REASON, WHEN SOME IDIOT CRITICIZED HIS FOOD SAFETY POSTS BEING ON THE FRONT PAGE SO OFTEN. THAT WAS JUST BEFORE THEY INCREASED THE SIZE OF THE FRONT PAGE. I HAD MAYBE A DOZEN TIMES OVER THE YEARS WHEN DAVE'S SAFETY POSTS HAD A DIRECT EFFECT ON SOMETHING I WAS DOING, SURE I'M NOT ALONE THERE. PEOPLE HE HELPED OUT WITH HIS KNOWLEGE OF HOW TO BUILD AN OFFSET SMOKER?, COUNTLESS! A LOT HAS CHANGED HERE, SOME GOOD THINGS, THO NOT ALL FOR THE BETTER. RAY

Within the last couple of months, I tagged Dave a couple of times in curing posts, and he didn't comment back.
