• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Well, 4 months and 4 days, but who's counting?

Thanks. That's the benefit of crushing bone over snapping ligaments. Much quicker rehab time. I'm still weak as hell, but it's improving noticeably by the day. Can't ask for more than that.:thumbsup:
(in case anyone is wondering what we're talking about, last September 11th while I was spectating at a Shane Watts school my son was taking, one of the other "students" threw his WR250F Yamaha away, and I thoughtfully dropped it from it's takeoff flight with my left knee, crushing the tibial plateau :eek:)

It...was...AWESOME:D. Spent 3 hours with Scott exploring new, fresh single track in the woods off of our powerlines. In the rain. It was like heaven.

Felt so good I got up and rode again the next morning.
Did I mention it was awesome?

WoodsChick;143034 said:
And, yeah, seems like there was lots of snow last time you were down here riding with me:p

A touch. At least it was mostly thawed out off of the glacier.

We should do that again! It was fun...until the shooting started.

Absolutely. Good thing we had the diplomatic skills of Baxter on our side.

That is 1 gnarly looking place ... I really like those gnarled up, up-hill roads .... Great pics and since that hondo crowd appears to help give U back UR jacket, I'll take back 2% of all the bad things I gave said about a hondo ...

U guys must be pretty riders to tackle that stuff in those conditions ... or at least U have no-fear ....

"Roads" is right...all the stuff on that side of the riding area is pretty wide and doable by almost anyone. Some of the roads are pretty steep, though, that's all. And it wouldn't have been gnarly at all if it weren't for the ice. Conditions were absolutely stellar when the ice wasn't present so we had a great day:) Just colder than we're used to, is all.

And, yeah, good karma coming to the Honda crowd :lol:
