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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Some of the people I talked to after the event may remember my comment about feeling like someone hit my forearm with a hammer about 30 miles into the event...:bonk: I had been having problems when riding my Husky with my hands locking up and not being able to let go of the bars to release the throttle or grab the brake or clutch. It was a major issue at the Spark Plug, I believe it has something to do with the bar bend. That was part of the reason I chose to ride the old WR, to see if it was a bike setup issue or a me issue. I was disappointed to find my right forearm starting to hurt badly before the 1st gas stop. I massaged it when we would stop to try to get the kink out but that only seemed to make it worse... :foul: It wasn't affecting my grip or anything so I rode on with a right forearm that hurt and a left grip that was spinning on the bars.:ride: I managed to get a respectable finish thanks to my "Mac" enduro computer and headed home to rest my aching arm. Ice and Ibuprofen didn't help the swelling by bed time. I was still mad about being such a wuss and didn't think much of the hives that had developed on my leg before nodding off...
Once I looked at my arm this morning it was painfully obvious that I had been bitten by some sort of insect, probably a bee a couple inches up on my forearm. Nice big round welt...That "massaging" I was doing yesterday worked that poison in nice and deep...
Enough rambling from me...
A few more of Bens pictures from yesterday. Between photo stops Ben took a big branch to the arm and it gave him a nasty cut.I will refrain from posting that picture.
Ben e-mailed me the link and I really enjoyed his story and photos. He just wrote another one for the Golden Spike Hare Scrambles, too. His dad Tim was quoted in Ben's story, too.
He is using an older Mc Enduro computer Still works O.K

Yep, I won my class at an enduro without a odometer, clock, or roll chart...
