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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Actually the busy part of riding season is over in the high desert. Ironically, only I and his group of three were out there. The odds of us meeting were astronomically slim, yet we did. He even apologized, saying that he didn't think that anybody else was out there. He was about a full minute ahead of his two buddies, and popped up in what I would consider a safe stretch of trail with good visibility....but not for the speed he was hauling ass at. We never even had a chance of missing one another, but we would have if he hadn't been trying to impress his friends with his Ricky Racer speed show.Damn KDX riders! That's the worst part of riding in the busy season. Gotta try to have one eye on the trail and the other looking ahead for signs of oncoming traffic. Glad it wasn't worse.
