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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Syringes for clutch/ brake bleeding

So my wife works at a hospital and she asked me if I wanted some syringes that have expired and where to be thrown away. She brought me these catheter tipped ones. The tip is the perfect size for both bleed nipples on the clutch and brakes. I just safety wire the hose to the syringe. The size is perfect to where you don't need to keep filling it up. If you are flushing your brakes, these are awesome. I don't know how often hospitals discard these, but there shelf life is limited. My wife does home visits through the hospital and most are elderly so they had these kind. Just wanted to share my new found alternative to the turkey baster
 
My Bride does the same as well as hand wipes and rubber sergical gloves. The gloves are great and do not look ready fro disposal to me.
 
Also, Tractor Supply and vet supply places, for use with horses:

I have noticed that certain fluids have caused the plunger to swell, but with as many as she got me, I can open another one. She probably got me about 30 or so
 
The 60mL are the ones I like for pushing brake fluid up from the brake caliper... I found some at 'Ace Hardware', although availability would probably vary by geographical location.
