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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Keeping up with the Jones's.

Well not the Jones's really, but CH's own Mr. and Mrs. Woodschick. They spent Thanksgiving riding the dirt, and we did to, but on a much smaller scale.

This Thanksgiving Becky and I gasses up the '08 TE's and packed some ham sandwiches and hit the road. We had about 10 miles of pavement and then about 15 miles of dirt then we got to the stop. I think it was the base of an old radio transmission tower.

No turkey, but some ham sandwiches and some delicious sticky buns. Becky was thinking and even brought a table cloth.

The '08 310 and 510 that got us there. The weather was good, the dirt was great. The only bummer of the day was that Becky's clutch/slave o-ring gave out as she was pulling to a stop right there. Thankfully it happened there. After we ate and hung out for awhile we coasted to the pavement just down the hill and bypassed the 15 miles of nice dirt we just rode. I rode her 310 back home as I have done the no clutch ride before. There were some stop lights to deal with in town but luckily I breezed right through them. One little hicup, but it still was a good Thanksgiving.
 
Fine way to spend the holiday! :thumbsup: Glad you were able to get out and enjoy it! Looks like you two had some pretty sweet weather, too!
Something about eating a meal on the trail...it just tastes better than it does when anywhere else, no matter what's on the menu.
Love the tablecloth :D
