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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I ordered a 1.5" Husky logo vinyl decal off ebay.

You could probably get a different color (black would look cool as well, I think, Red would look good, even blue or Yellow), but I'm not sure. The default was white, which is what I wanted.

That's nice

Well, I thought I'd mount a GPS on it... oh, wait, it has that built in. I did install a bash plate that, strangely enough, also improved the traction.

Oh yeah, and I'm not worried about washing it...

Nice. I customized my phone too....no wait, I mean I washed my phone....in the Whirlpool toploader.
There's an App for that?!
I've brought phones back from a swim by removing the battery then putting them in the oven on warm for a few hours. excite the water molecules, turn to vapor, leave phone! (not a smartphone) It's junk anyway so it's worth a try!
The poor phone was sloshed around squeaky clean for 55 minutes. Al the screens and the camera lens were fogged up. I took the battery out (threw that away), disassembled the phone and blew the heck out of it with a hair dryer on high, until all the parts looked dry and the screens and lens looked clear. Then I reassembled it, bought a new battery for it, charged it all up, and everything was fine. It even still took the same crappy pictures!There's an App for that?!

Such a great story with a successful ending!
