• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hey 2 wheelers, you got 4 legged pals?

O-K, I just have to post a couple more pictures. In the picture in my first post, Stella was still very skinny and her coat was thin. She was neglected pretty bad before being rescued. Here is a curent picture of Rufus and Stella. You can see how Stella's coat and weight is better than the first picture. She is a happy dog now. Before, she would cower when you'd attempt to pet her. Now she likes the attention.

My wife loves to dress up our animals for the holidays. They don't always look like they enjoy being decorated. But, they put up with it. With a couple of the pictures, I put together a Christmas card cartoon of Rufus from a few years ago.



-------- Sometimes it takes a little bit of "sweet" motivation to get Rufus to participate.

I thought it was pretty funny.

The sacks of bones they call cattle here would get you locked up for animal abuse in Texas... I won't eat local beef so I have to drive three hours to a city where I can get Aussie or New Zealand beef (and sometimes splurge on a Wagyu ribeye or two).
 
Belle and Teeny on a stroll through the wilds of Temecula Wine Country. I have their leashes attached to a carabiner so they can't spreadout but can run around all the same. Belle will take off, but Teeny knows enough to lay down when I shout so he becomes an anchor.
