Ya can't kill the snakes with guns you don't have right?
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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Gold Paul!
what is that... wait, is that a flat-head v-8 like an old ford or something? fuel injected and turbo'd? that cooling system takes 50hp off the top.
okay I give up... I had to look it up- A frikken 2 stroke V-8 Volvo! with expansion chambers. way cool. (back in high school, my buddy a 3 cyl 2stroke SAAB with chambers. sounded cool but I doubt it was putting out 60hp)
Nice get off! That could of been real bad.
Hah. "pit bike".... I see what you did there.
BTW, what caused the pits?? water obviously, but how/why.....
The pits were formed when clay was mined and used in the construction of the Oroville dam, we went to the shooting range which is located right next to this place so we figured we would check it out, really nothing special for a dirt biker, more for atvs and 4x4s, still had a great time though!
I sorta meant what made the "pit" you fell in? Seems like a weird and deep formation for a small mound/dike to have.
BTW, if you're ever in that area again, try the Ragdump or above Concow. Actually, lotsa of good stuff east too (Gold Lake, La Porte).
Yea I'm not too sure what caused that one pit to be there and so randomly, definitely caught me off guard haha
Nice I will have to check those places out, we were staying in willows, I was pushing for the group to just go to stonyford but the clay pits had the shooting range also so it was 2 for 1
Headed back down to Randsburg in a few weeks and I can't wait, such a cool place, we are going to try and make it to the husky monument!
