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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Getting it squared away.
Fiddling with the carb, figuring out how to kickstart the bike, replaced the springs at both ends of the suspension and will be doing a bit of valving shortly to make it less bouncy in the rocks. I replaced the stock front brake pads with some Rocky Mountain ATV Tusk sintered metal pads, so that they would merely be stoppie strong, instead of face plant strong. It is the best handling mid sized bike that I have ever ridden, both stable in on the straights and really quick, yet planted in the tight stuff. Very well balanced, and decently quiet as well.And yes, I have playing with the editing tools a bit too much lately.

Nice trails! looks like a blast
The editing tool to get that look is called "high dynamic" (at least I think that's what it's called) and the hills DO have eyes. They are the eyes of mountain lions (along with bobcat, mule deer, fox, coyote and a host of other critters), so yes, if you are by yourself out there, you don't want to be stopped for too long in any one spot.The graininess of the photos and the background remind me of "the hills have eyes"... apparent that you should not park for too long to take pics, looks like an opening scene....

More of a snow midget. I tried to get another shot of him at a better angle, but he fell off. Then I was too lazy to build another one (well, actually my hands were cold from scooping up the snow, and I'd had enough of that).Wait...is that snowman on top of your helmet?
