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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'd also be bragging if I could get mine down that low. I was in the higher 30's when I was younger (a lot younger...) but never passed below 37. Now I'm happy when I'm in good enough condition to get below 50.

It turns out there are some odd costs to having such low heart rates - at least for bicycle racers. One is an increased occurence of blood clots in the lower legs during long periods of inactivity - specifically long airline flights after hard physical activity. I don't remember all the physiology but as the blood thickens due to dehydration (really common on long flights) the low heart rate, sitting position, no movement, etc. combine to result in clots.

Keep those legs moving!
