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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The weather app said that Wednesday was going to be the coolest day of the week out at McCain, and it's true that it said that Boulevard was 76 degrees just after noon, yesterday. I figured it would be a few degrees hotter out at the riding area, so on a gamble, hoping that the air quality would also be nice, I headed out.
Got there around 3, and the skies were mostly blue, with a light breeze, and the staging area was empty. I think the temperature was probably around 80-82 degrees, making conditions more closer to delightful than they had been for the past couple of months. I frolicked around for a bit, putting on 20 miles or so, being grateful for, and just enjoying one of the last public riding areas that was still open during these terrible fires. Mr. Flea was again my chosen trail weapon for the venue, and as always, he performed flawlessly.
Somewhere out on the trail, while I was stopped to take some pictures, I heard a couple of other bikes making their way through a nearby route. I never saw who it was though. Back at the staging area, a couple of guys and a some kids were practicing their starts and cornering on their track bikes, but other than that, but other than that, I never encountered anybody out and about on the trails.
