Good morning post 3.0

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's already "Hump Day". I see that the NY Rangers dropped another one last night, lets go fellas and turn things around. They play tomorrow evening again, hopefully they can figure out a way to win one for a change. Anyway, enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there.......🤓

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it’s going to be another nice day down here in Key West. Beth and I went to one of our favorite brunch spots yesterday: Rams Head https://ramsheadsouthernmost.com/. Afterwards, we headed over the Green Parrot and listened to some ole’ time jazz, smoking cigars and drinking a few cold beers. Congrats to the Eagles on their win and now the NFC East Champions. Our nephew Gary has today and tomorrow off, so we’ll be out and about with him. I see cigars, good food and cold drinks in the near future. Enjoy your week….. 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it’s another beautiful day here in KW. Beth and I are planning to go walk the north route today and see those sites. We had a great day yesterday, walked to the most southern spot of the US. Enjoy your day everyone….. 🍺

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it’s looking like we’re going to have a beautiful day here sunny Key West. Beth and I had a great first day on vacation seeing some old friend, stopping in at a few of favorite watering holes and mostly relaxing with our nephew Gary. Gary is bartending today (during the day) at Fogarty’s so Beth and I will get in some sight seeing, possibly go on a boat ride and will definitely smoke a few primo cigars. Have a great weekend all and enjoy…… 🌞

    Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and we are officially on vacation. Key West, here we come! The car service should be here in roughly an hour and we're packed and ready to go. I ended up packing another 5 pack of top end cigars for those special nights walking down Duval after a great dinner and enjoying the warm night breeze. Enjoy everyone, I'll stop in now and then and give updates and all....... 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's already "Hump Day". Got most of my packing done last night, will finish the odds and ends after work today. Picked out roughly 25 primo stogies for the trip and I'm sure I'll hit up a couple of the local cigar shops while on vacation. Have a great day all and remember to be safe out there....... 👍

    Hello guys, we’re finallysee the temperatures rise above freezing for a few days here in the Hudson Valley according to NOAA:

    I'm taking off of work tomorrow as I have one more day of use-or-lose vacation time. Being that tomorrow looks the best weather day of the week, I'll take the outside Christmas lights down and store them away for next year. We normally wait until after the new years but we have a Key West trip coming up next week. Enjoy everyone........ 🍻

    Good afternoon everyone, the coffee is on and it's Thursday. Not sure we're going to make it to the Aroma Cigar Room this evening as the weather guessers are calling for a rain / snow mix starting late this afternoon into tomorrow. Yesterday, Beth and I got some of our Christmas shopping done and then we stopped by one of our go to spots for dinner and a few beers: https://www.templehillcatering.com/tavern/tavernmenu/

    Have a great day all and definitely be careful out there....... :) 🤓

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's another early morning here at West Point as the current community COVID-19 status is back to "Medium". The Department of Defense (DoD) mandates that if your local County status is medium or high, you will test your unvaccinated personnel twice a week until the County status drops to low. On the bright side, early into work means early out. Anyway, enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there....... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. We worked the Army Football game Saturday versus UCONN which the Army team won 34 - 17. Yesterday, we stayed home after going to the grocery store and watched football and witnessed the wildest finish this year. The NE Patriots and the NY Jets were 3 - 3 for almost the entire game until the Patriots ran a punt back for a touchdown with 5 seconds left in the game. Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on their late game win to go 9 and 1. This week will be a short work week with Thanksgiving and all. We'll be going to the Aroma Cigar Room on Tuesday as they are having a membership Thanksgiving dinner along with a Room 101 cigar event as well. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys....... :)👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's currently a brisk 32 degrees here in the Hudson Valley:

    This evening instead of going to the Aroma Cigar Room as we normally do on Thursday night, a few of us are going out to dinner to Vesuvio's Italian Restaurant in Newburgh, NY: https://vesuviosristorante.com

    We haven't gone in there in years and a number of us have been talking about it for a while. Should be a good time, I'll let you all know tomorrow how it was. Enjoy everyone and stay warm and all....... 🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's another early morning here at West Point. We're back to testing the unvaccinated Garrison employees today and tomorrow starting at 0700 in the EOC. Orange County is back in a "Medium" status which means testing twice a week within a 48 hour period. I see that the Eagles lost last night to the Commanders, 8 and 1 is still not to shabby. Have a great day everyone and enjoy........ 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's the last working day this week. We had a great time last night as Beth and I share the same birthday and we went out for beers and appetizers at one of our favorite places. Tonight, we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room to smoke a couple of my favorites and see how everyone is doing. Enjoy everyone and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL this evening....... 🤓

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Today is a mirror of yesterday as we're back at West Point early testing again. Just like yesterday, early in equals early out. Have a great day all and enjoy....... 🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's another early morning here at West Point. We're back to testing the unvaccinated Garrison employees today and tomorrow starting at 0700 in the EOC. Orange County is back in a "High" status which means testing twice a week within a 48 hour period. One good thing about it is that we get off early which is always nice especially during daylight savings time. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and remembers to be safe out there....... 👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday. We had a relaxing weekend over all starting with going out to dinner Friday evening and then going to see a local Play with our niece in the cast; Saturday, I went to the Aroma Cigar Room in the morning and then relaxed out back at home in the afternoon grilling wings; yesterday, we went to the American Legion in New Windsor, NY for their annual gala with 300+ others and had a great time. Congrats to Joey Logano for being crowned the 2022 NASCAR Cup Champion, it was a great race over all as well. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy....... 🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, the usual suspects were out enjoying top shelf stogies and all. Congrats to the Eagles on their win last night (it was ugly but still a win at the end) and now they have an 8 - 0 record this season. I see that Phillies lost last night, the Astros up now 3 games to 2. They're heading back to Houston and the World Series will be decided this weekend. Also this weekend, all three NASCAR series (Camping World Truck, Xfinity, and Cup) will race for the Championship in Phoenix, AZ; NHL; college and NFL football. Enjoy everyone....... 🤓

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. I see that the World Series is tied up 2 games a piece, I'm not really following it being that the Yankees got eliminated, hopefully they go 7 games and make it worth it for all of their fans. Enjoy all and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL tonight...... 🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Being that it's almost time to vote, get out there and hit up your local voting station and make a change. We have early voting here in the Hudson Valley and I'll be stopping by the local ambulance service building this afternoon and doing my part. Enjoy everyone and hope you have a great day....... 👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's a wet Tuesday morning here in the Hudson Valley. There's not much going on today except for the scheduled meeting we have planned and all. Halloween is in the books for 2022, we had a lot of kids stop by trick or treating and we even had a neighbor stop by with cold beers. Enjoy all and stay safe out there....... 🤓

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's back to work Monday. We had a great weekend overall: got all the yard work done on Saturday and then we relaxed out back (oh yeah, the rack of ribs came out great); yesterday, Beth and I enjoyed having brunch at Magnanini Winery (outdoors with live music):

    https://magwine.com/

    Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on the win yesterday and now their record is 7 - 0. Also a congrats goes out the Christopher Bell for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and being one of four in next week's final race of the season to see who is crowned this year's champion. Have a great week everyone and enjoy tonight's Halloween festivities...... 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma, a number of the regulars were out as well as a few ole' faces we haven't seen in a while. It's looking like we'll have a nice Fall weekend either wise according to NOAA:

    https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.437121700000034&lon=-74.03635439999994#.Y1ufEh0pCi4

    We're planning on doing some yard work tomorrow and then relax out back with a fire pit and put on a rack of ribs on the grill low and slow. Sports wise, the NASCAR drivers are in Martinsville, VA this weekend; there's plenty of NHL, NFL and college football to keep you busy. Anyway, enjoy all and I hope you get to smoke a favorite or two or........ 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0400 as today is a mirror image of yesterday. The only difference is that this evening we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room and the weather is a little nicer. Early morning COVID testing and then our first MS Teams meeting is at 1000 (10 AM) with our West Point Superintendent (3 Star General). I hope everyone has a great day and we get to see some of the local S/BOTL tonight. Enjoy....... 🤓

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Another early morning at West Point as we continue to observe the unvaccinated Garrison employees self test for COVID-19. It's a requirement by the Department of Army when we are either at a medium or high COVID rate for our county. Hopefully the numbers drop this Friday as the case / hospital percentages are reported every Thursday evening. Have a great day all and enjoy....... 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's a rainy Tuesday morning here in the Hudson Valley and it's looking like this adverse weather is here to stay for a couple of day according to NOAA:

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already Monday. We had a good weekend even though we worked 12+ hours on Saturday in support of the Army vs ULM Football game (Army 48 - ULM 24). Friday evening, our West Point Cadet and his girlfriend (both seniors) we sponsor came over for pizza; Saturday, enjoyed watching Army Football win; yesterday, Beth and I entered in the chili cook off at the New Windsor, NY American Legion (did not win but had a great time) and then came home to watch Beth's Jets win in Denver 16 - 9. Congrats to Kyle Larsen for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and unfortunately, the Yankees got eliminated from the Playoffs. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys........ 🤓
