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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Froze my WR 250 pipe and blew it apart!

I freeze my pipes alot just got to watch them , I usually put rubber soft plugs in them till the ends freeze then remove the stinger end. I smack around the edges of the bad dents with a rubber mallet after it freezes then let it thaw abit and re-freeze. I usually get about 85-95% of all the dents out, and there usually are many. I had some burst but usually catch it in time that it's just as easy to fix as fusing the seam.
 
Only used the freezer trick on a 4st header, and took 85 percent of it out, after 4 heat/thaw cycles no ends plugged...

Next time I freeze a pipe, I will try this trick I heard of a while ago. After filling the pipe with water, wrap a towell or cloth around the dented area before putting it in the freezer. This will act as insulation, and this point will be the last part to freeze, therefore speeding up the process...
