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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

WOW, attitude is everything

Many of us (including me) cry too much ... This guy is a great example of what life can be like under less-than-perfect conditions ...

And what life should be like for the rest of us also ..

I agree. One particular ride buddy of mine is always bitching he needs brake pads or bearings and it is to much effort. WTF? Recent deaths and impending deaths in the fam, stories like this and our place in the universe really has me thinking about priorities and attitude in the face of adversity. Man up. that was kinda the point of this post.
 
Just imagine if most people had as good an attitude as this guy ... No whining, no excuses, everyone trying ~100% for what they want ... Not possible for most humans ... We always make up excuses why the other guy has more ... Or blame our shortcomings on some one else ...

--
I've saw it and heard excuses from many many people in my lifetime and you will never, never get a person like this to ever understand that they, themselves, are what is holding them back... Seems almost like many are afraid of success ...

EDIT: Success to me was almost expected or at least I knew my odds on being successful, I thought ... Failure, or failing was almost what always motivated me in life ... I never wanted to fail.
