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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Helmet Stink

I have some shoes that I wear without socks. They can get quite smelly. After a while, even a trip through the washing machine will only dull the smell and it comes back with a vengeance in just a few days.

The deal is, odor is caused by bacteria. To completely remove the odor, you must kill the bacteria.

What works on my shoes is an overnight soak in a 50/50 mix of water and distilled white vinegar. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Then, run them through the washing machine the next day. I put the shoes in a ziploc baggie and seal them up in the mixture without any air bubbles. That way, I don't have to worry about making sure they don't just float on the surface.

They come out completely odor free and stay that way for a while.
 
This thread is getting gross.... Maybe drink more water so you don't stink ;-) Really works and makes washing less like cleaning up a Superfund Site ;)
 
For really stinky stuff like boots I saturate with hydrogen peroxide and let dry in sunlight.Kills the bacteria.I hold the boots open with a small piece of wood or a screwdriver.
