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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Out and About (Terra, Strada)

Took the Italian mistress out for lunch. Fall is great, the air is crisp and cool, visibility is fantastic, some interesting color. Every year there is a point somewhere where I smell several fireplaces burning in a row, and an internal alarm goes off that says the 'fantastic' riding days are numbered. Hit that point yesterday, lots of fireplace activity, high was low 60s. The rain is coming soon to the great NorthWet.

Oh man what happened to
your strada?

Still have it, but it's for sale. Added the Terra a few months ago. My theory was it was cheaper to just buy the Terra rather than to Terrafy the Strada. The Strada has not sold as quickly as I'd hoped. it will likely be with me 'til spring. I put the Terra up for sale, testing the theory that it might be the Strada that was not moving, but didn't get any interest in either. Fortunately with some rearranging I can get all the bikes and Mrs. krussell's car in the garage.

I think they need to rename that place to Mars

LOL!! Where do you think NASA takes its pictures?

There is lots of area like this where there random rocks everywhere. There is also a good gravel wash that will constantly try to kill you. From there it does go into some decent dunes. Added plus it is 15minutes from my house on the bike.

Chasing the sunset. After work ride up in the Sierras. It's a joy having such nice places to ride within 20 minutes from my work and home. A couple miles West of Northern Nevada into California. This is at about 6300ft elevation (1920m).
 
Yup, many times when I see pics posted from the outback I think they look a lot like here too.
The sand near the gulf is real white, the further north I go the more red it becomes.
Near the springs its real white too.
 
I think the nearer the coast in Aus the sand is whiter, and more red towards the interior. Lime sand is usually more yellow. I could picture any of those shots being in Aus, though not sure about the spring fed creek. Creeks in Tasmania are mostly tea coloured from the bush tannins, no idea whether there are any that are that clear fed from springs
