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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanks to the govt shutdown, I just had to ride for work. We had no signal coming from the Microwave up on Frazier Mtn. Normally I would go the Ranger Station and ask for the key for the closed gate and drive up. But the office was closed. So rather than drop $3k into a helo ride, I decided to try a different solution. I haven't ridden this trail in well over 20 years but it paid off. A few downed trees made it interesting.

For this ride I chose the trusty and nimble WR250. It was a great choice as I had to drag it under a fallen tree that had blocked the trail on the side of the mountain. It was about 30 miles round trip of mostly nice tight and moist single track goodness. I can't believe I haven't ridden this for so long.

Anyway I made it to the site and got the system back up. I grabbed a couple of pics, called family and work to let them know I made it, and rode back the way I came. Will certainly return and bring friends to share the joy. Forgot
that everything gets turned landscape so turn yer head. 20190110_140600.jpg 2019-01-10 14.33.46.jpg

Do you actually ride with your Spot tracker attached to your brace like that? I would think it would really interfere with your helmet.
 
It seems to work fine for me. It's a Leatt Fusion 3.0 so it's a solid connection. However, I do want to get the better mount Caselli foundation sells to try a different spot.
