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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC injury recovery

Tore both cuffs on a quad accident about 15 years ago no operation took years to heal used the Chinese hot water treatment. I ran hot water over it as hot as I could stand it. It's not perfect today but usable.
 
I had a big off 3 months ago, and tore the rotator cuff tendons. I couldn't raise my arm at all for a week or so, but gradually strength and movement came back, and was 90% normal after 2 months. I'm about 95% now, but had another even bigger crash 3 weeks ago, and have 2 broken ribs, and a smashed knee :(
My confidence has gone now, so will not be doing any extreme enduro stuff or competitions until I've got my mojo back, so gentle trail riding for the rest of this year.
 
well it's 4 months since my shoulder surgery. PT is coming along fine. I am thinking maybe in another month I'll go for a short ride to see how it feels. Haven't riden in the woods since May when it happened. Rode the bike around the block a couple times to keep things lubed up. Put some liquid performance in the gas in June hope it's still okay. wonder if I should drain the tank and put fresh gas even though I have liquid performance ethanol equalizer in it now. Nervous about going out too soon don't want to screw up my recovery on the shoulder.
 
I made the mistake of selling a dirt bike I loved after a serious shoulder injury that left my right arm paralyzed. A year later I had to replace the bike. 3 years later it is still not 100% but I can ride with it pretty well. Physical therapy, time and determination will keep you riding! I'm 62 and planning on riding until I can't get on the damn bike.
