• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 was running some errands today and happened to drive by Ron's shop. Much to my surprise the roll up door was open. On my way home I stopped in and had a chat with the new owner Andrew. He was in negotiations to buy the place before Ron passed. He's keeping the name and the phone number is the same (760) 747-1360. He's from the UK and fell in love with SoCal, so he bought a shop. It's taken since last September to get through all the legal stuff, but he was able to open the doors about six weeks ago. I wished him the best, and as soon as i get some time I'll be down there ordering some bits for the bikes.
