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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HORRIBLE weekend, AKA I hate the Weather Man!

Cody and I were so stoked for a weekend of racing and riding. Friday rolls around and the weather forcast was for heavy rain starting at noon on Saturday (race day). I tell Cody it'll be OK because if Saturday washes out we can at least ride Sunday (today) because it's supposed to quit raining early evening and be sunny, dry and warm all day Sunday.

We wake up Saturday at 5 AM to rain. I call the track and it's raining there but they plan to run anyway... "don't come if you're not a good mud rider"... Cody isn't. Back to bed. Wake at 9 AM. DRY! Call the track... DRY! "perfect conditions". Too late to get there in time for sign up. No rain the rest of the day!!! Cody is bummed. :banghead: Oh well, at least we can ride tomorrow.

Wake at 5 this morning. RAIN! Check TNT's website... "heavy rain all through the night, trails closed, tracks will only be open to expert riders". :banghead::banghead:

I hate weather men! :censored: I think I'll take the Hodaka for a spin around the cul-de-sac just to annoy the neighbor that likes to call the cops on me.
 
The only way Cory is going to be a good mud rider is to ride in the mud!
Next time head out rain or shine and if it doesn't rain you get a bonus and if it does Cory gets a riding lesson!:cheers:

I was about a nano second away from doing that very thing Saturday morning. Then I remembered the last two "mud races" ended up costing me almost $1K in crushed pipes, busted plastic, and trips to the doctor. Cody really really sucks in mud. :D

Great minds must think alike because this was my exact thought:D

Maybe not a good idea to try and learn in a racing environment, but riding in all sorts of conditions, no matter how miserable, will make anyone a better rider:)

Next time give the NOAA website a try when you want accurate weather forecasting...
