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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My Husky Saved My Life!

This weekend, I saw no mountain lions. My valiant Husky scared them all away. Or maybe it was that many fellow Huskies came out to join me. There were 4 yellow and blue huskies and three white and red huskies. Unfortunately, the new to her 2010 TE310 decided to start blowing fuses near the end of the day. Nonetheless, it was a good day of riding without mountain lions, bears, bobcats, panthers, jaguars, tigers, lions, alligators, great white sharks or any other hungry, malevolent creatures.
 
Was riding WFO down a fire road in the Ozark Nat. Forest a few years ago when I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye and a bobcat ran into my front wheel. It happened so fast that when I got stopped I asked the guy brhind me what it was and his response was "I don't know, but it didn't have a tail"
 
I don't know about saving my life but the big cats don't like coming around when the Huskies are home.
A couple of weeks ago I was off riding and my girlfrind and her dog were doing something in the shop. Her dog (Dickey) suddenly became very aggitated and demanded that the door be opened. She opened the door and Dickey rushed out just as a coyote streeked by in the narrow driveway outside the door, followed by a cougar in hot pursut. The cat appeared very surprised by the reception that followed. Darcy was yelling and screaming, Dickey was growling and barking, one of Darcy's cats wanted to fight and the coyote was stumbling-crashing through some stacks of building materials. The big cat paused for a moment to take it all in before resuming the chase.
Cat sightings have been fairly common in this area in the last couple of years, but usually only on property owned by non Husky riders. One neighbors three full sized dogs got into it with a big cat over some elk scraps in full daylight. Cinder a full sized lab, now makes do with just one hind leg.
