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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

High probability of moving to San Diego

That is correct, we both have 144's.

This is her throwing down at a couple of last seasons race. Yes, I'm proud of her and like posting pics.

I'm proud of "the Kid" too (that's what we call him around the house - "Hey Kid!!"). Sure, he's never finished better than 10th, but I'm a proud Step-Pop all the same. Every sunday he and his 04' CR125R are on the gate lining up against the thumpers bringing the "BRAAAAP".

That's awesome, nothing like the stress/excitement of watching your kids race. I guess I'll be getting tips from my daughter about desert racing for next season since I won't be able to do much until then.
 
Does anyone know about the Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Ranch Penesaquitos, and Scripps Ranch areas? Everything Ive read online makes them all appear like they are Gods gif to commiefornia.

All of the places you mentioned are nice, clean, safe, scenic and freeway close. Poway is the most rural of the bunch - people still ride horses there. It's like a big little city....or a little big city.
RP and Poway are only like three exits from Mira Mar and you don't even have to get on the freeway to get there from Scripps - if you don't want to. RB is the furthest one and even that's not too bad of a commute.
 
Cool, that meets the requirements. Since I'm a rural kinda person, I guess we will look at Poway. I've read good things about the Poway high school. Plus, if my wife is able to transfer jobs she will be working there.

Ramona is also fairly rural and about nine miles up highway 67 from Poway - kind of country up there and not too far from Borona Raceway (where guys like Ricky Johnson, Broc Glover and Ronnie Lechien got their start).

Cool. Now I just have to wait this out and see if we actually get out there. I won't dump the rest of my questions on here just yet. Haha. I am completely confused with all the racing available out there.
 
racing you got LOTS...to choose from. tracks within 2 hours of Poway LOTS, legal riding within 2 hours of Poway lots with lots of different types of terrain . 1000 miles of all types of riding from closed course east coast style to baja 1000 in BC Mexico, the closed course stuff tecate area within 2 hours of Poway.
There Now you can be more confused. Every weekend there is something going on in the SW zone.
 
Ok, no need to rub it in. I have shoulder surgery next week, so my riding is done for until the fall. My daughter is itching to get out there to check out the region.

A big question I have is, would it be better to get the nonresident orv sticker or the red sticker?
 
Well after shoulder surgery and unsuccessful knee surgery in Jan, it looks like a 99% chance I will be staying in VA until retirement.

How are you doing? Ok?

How is the daughter taking the news?

I'm recovering from the shoulder surgery nicely, not so much with the knee. Ortho surgeon wants to give it until Aug before he decides to go in again. I've tried riding around the yard, but I can't transition to standing and the shoulder is too weak to try anything crazy.

I found out today that we will not be moving to Commiefornia, which is bitter sweet. I was not going to deploy during the rest of my time on active duty so it was actually pointless, well other than the opportunity to ride there.

My daughter is a little P'd about not moving, but I think with moving to high school next year and knowing 50% of her classmates will help. She has only had one "big" move that she remembers and had a hard time adapting to the new school. I definitely did not want a repeat of that.
