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 all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's back to work Monday already. We had a good day yesterday, fired up the barbecue and enjoyed a couple of cold ones while watching the NASCAR race. Congrats to William Byron for capturing the checkered flag in only the third race of the season. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys a favorite or two throughout it....... 👍

    Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and it's looking like we'll have a sunny Sunday here in the Hudson Valley. I went to Aroma yesterday with the fellas during the day and came home to a Turkey dinner prepared by Beth. We got a free turkey (14 lbs.) after having enough points at Shoprite, perfect meal for a day like yesterday. Got leftovers for the upcoming week and I see a turkey sandwich or two as well. We'll be watching the NASCAR race this afternoon while enjoying a couple of cold ones. I hope you all have a great day as well and enjoy...... 🍺

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, place was hoping' and top shelf cigars were enjoyed. Unfortunately, the NY Rangers lost last night with a not so good 3rd period. They were up 3 - 2 going into the 3rd period and lost 5 - 3 at the end. I know they can't win them all but come on fellas, you got this. This weekend, the NASCAR racers are in Las Vegas with racing tonight, tomorrow afternoon as well we Sunday. Weather wise, we have a storm headed our way late this afternoon with snow, sleet and rain throughout the evening into tomorrow afternoon:

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. It is good to see that the NY Rangers won in overtime last night 3 - 2 over the Philadelphia Flyers in Philly. They'll be taking on the Ottawa Senators tonight home at the Madison Square Garden starting at 1900 (7 PM). Lets go fellas, you got this. Enjoy your day all and we hope to see a number of the local S/BOTL tonight...... 🍺

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's "Hump Day". We ended up with roughly 9" of snow yesterday and they never opened West Point so everyone that could telework did so. I actually went out to shovel the snow at 0530 and finished before the work day started. Went out one more time late in the afternoon after the snow ended to just clean up the drive and side walks and it only took a few minutes. According to NOAA, we are suppose to get another couple of inches of snow Friday afternoon. One good thing is that today and tomorrow, the temperatures are suppose to be in the 40 - 50 degrees range. Like I said on Monday, I can't wait until the Spring time is here. Enjoy everyone...... 💯

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's back to work Monday already. We had a great weekend overall: spent Saturday with the fellas at Aroma; went to dinner at our dear friends house that evening (Maggie, Eric and the three little kids - Eric was a West Point Cadet we sponsored who graduated in 2013 and is now a Major teaching at West Point); yesterday, we spent the afternoon with Kristen and Stephan at the Newburgh Brewery sipping on a couple beers and all (dear friends of ours that are getting married the 1st of October at the oldest winery in the US - I'm doing the officiating). Congrats to the NY Rangers for splitting this weekend with a loss and a win and a congrats as well to Kyle Busch for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race. I see that we will be getting around 7 inches of snow tonight here in the Hudson Valley, I can't wait until the Spring time is here again and warm weather is back. Anyway, enjoy your week all and be careful out there...... :)🤓

    Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's a brisk Sunday morning here in the Hudson Valley. I see that the NY Rangers got beat yesterday 6 - 3 against the Washington Capitals. Hopefully they bounce back today with a "W" against the LA Kings at home starting at 1700 (5 PM). Also, yesterday's NASCAR race got postponed because of weather until this evening starting at 2000 (8PM) after the conclusion of today's Cup Race which starts at 1530 (3:30 PM). Have a great day everyone and enjoy....... 🍺

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Tuesday after a great President's Day weekend. Beth and I had a great weekend overall: we watched a lot of NASCAR each day (Friday night, Saturday & Sunday); spent Saturday morning with the fellas at Aroma; Sunday before the Daytona 500, I raked the back yard up to and made it look nice and tidy; yesterday, we sat out at the fire pit and relaxed where I enjoyed two nice cigars with a few years of age on them. It's looking like we'll have a wet week here in the Hudson Valley according to NOAA:

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night as the place was packed and hopping. Beth and I are getting ready for the first weekend for NASCAR this season: Chinese takeout tonight for the Craftsman Truck Series race; chicken on the grill for tomorrow's Xfinity Series race; low and slow ribs on the grill for the Cup Series race on Sunday - the Daytona 500. They'll be plenty of cigars smoked this weekend along with cold beers and adult beverages. I hope you all have a great President's Day weekend and enjoy...... 🇺🇸

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day" already. Beth and I had a relaxing Valentine's dinner at home where she made one of my favorite Hungarian dishes: Hungarian Layered Potatoes casserole - Rakott Krumpli https://budapestcookingclass.com/hungarian-layered-potatoes-rakott-krumpli-2/#. She also made a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting in the shape of a big heart. All was very delicious and mouth watering. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy...... 💯

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. Congrats to the K.C. Chiefs on their win last night and being crowned the 2023 Super Bowl Champs. The Eagles had a great season, it just wasn't their night. Now that the NFL is over, it's time to enjoy the beginning of the NASCAR season with the Daytona 500 this coming Sunday. The NHL is mid season and the NY Rangers are doing great. Enjoy your week all, smoke a favorite or two throughout it....... 🇺🇸

    Good afternoon all, the coffee has been on all day and it's back to work Tuesday after being off for the last eleven days. It was a well needed vacation and we can't wait until the next (sounds like we're ready for retirement - one year can't come fast enough). I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys a favorite or two throughout it....... 😎

    I'm going to head over to the Aroma Cigar Room in a bit and see how the fellas are doing and smoke a couple of stogies as well.

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it’s our last day in Key West. Beth and I had a great day yesterday: I walked over to Kim’s Kuban https://kimskuban.com/ for breakfast and then went over to the VFW for a bit. We saw Zack Seemiller one last time as we caught the last hour of his show at Willie T’s on Duval http://www.williets.com/. We finished off the evening playing trivia at the Waterfront Brewery https://www.thewaterfrontbrewery.com/. We have a good half a day still as we don’t fly until this afternoon and when we land, we have a car service bringing us home. Enjoy your day everyone…… 😎

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and already “Hump Day”. We had a great day yesterday, got a good walk in and then spent the afternoon at the Smokin’ Tuna where Zack and Caffeine Carl rock it. A couple of our friends came down from New York and met us there. They come down every year and spend a month in the sun. We have another day and half here before we head home. Heading out to breakfast in a while and then hitting Duval Street one more time. Enjoy all 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….. 👍
