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 already "Hump Day". It's looking like it'll be a cigar / BBQ after work today being that NOAA is calling for mostly sunny, with a high near 52°F. I hope all of you get to enjoy it as well, smoke a favorite if you get the chance....... 🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's looking like we'll have a wet one today according to NOAA:

    Yesterday, we actually got 3 to 4 inches of snow that wasn't really expected. I left work around 1500 (3 pm) to beat the NYC crazies that fly over the mountain and forget that snow and ice make a slippery ride home. Made it home safe and sound then cleared the drive and walkways off. It looks like we have 3 days of sun ahead of us to melt some of the snow that's building up everywhere. Enjoy everyone....... 👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's back to work Monday (finally). We had a great weekend, spent Saturday with the fellas at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY; and then yesterday, we had our Cadet we sponsor over for the day where we enjoyed surf and turf from the grill and watched NASCAR. It's always nice to have Caleb spend the day with us and give him a break from West Point as well. Enjoy your week all, smoke a couple of your favorites throughout and remember to be safe out there....... 🤓

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! Because of the snow yesterday, I didn't go to Schlesinger's last night. Stayed home and relaxed with Beth watching television. West Point is still Code Red until noon; we will have another conference call this morning at 0830 to see how the WP DPW crews are doing and if the roads and parking lots on the Installation are cleared. Sports wise this weekend, there's plenty of NHL action on the ice and the NASCAR racers are back at Daytona but this time, there on the road race:

    I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend and enjoys a few of your favorites throughout....... 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's another tele-working day as it's Code Red until again today until noon tomorrow. NOAA is calling for anywhere from 5 to 11 inches of snow from now until tomorrow morning. We already have a dusting and I've heard the salt trucks out and about. Not sure yet if we'll make it to Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars this evening, it'll all depend on how much snow we actually get and if the DPW road crews can keep things clear. Anyway, stay safe all and enjoy...... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 as always and it's already "Hump Day". I got to run to West Point shortly as I have my first of two COVID-19 vaccine shots this morning at 0700. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys...... 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday (tele-working). As a result of the freezing rain and sleet, West Point has been Code Red since 1700 (5 pm) last night through noon today. Our driveway is an ice skating rink but the temps will rise shortly above freezing once the sun comes out. Anyway, we had a relaxing weekend overall: spent Saturday with the fellas at Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY; Beth and I watched NASCAR racing all weekend and relaxed at home. The MLB pitchers and catchers started to report to spring training which is always a sign that good things are ahead. I hope you all enjoy this Fat Tuesday and be safe as well....... 🤓

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 as always and it's Friday! We had a good time last night at Schlesinger's, a number of the regulars were there along a few new faces as well. This weekend, we have NASCAR racing at Daytona starting tonight with the Camping World truck race and ending with the Daytona 500 on Sunday. It's the biggest race weekend of the year in my opinion and kicks off the season for all to enjoy. Sunday is also Valentine's Day fellas, don't forget to get your sweetheart something special or you'll be in the dog house for sure. Enjoy the long weekend everyone, relax and smoke a favorite or two or....... :) 🇺🇲👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars this evening. We got a good dusting of snow overnight here in the Hudson Valley. After I'm done with this post, I'll be going out to clear off the vehicles and the driveway in preparation of heading to West Point. Have a great day all and hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL tonight...... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Well, the weather guessers got the snow prediction a bit wrong. We ended up with roughly 8" of the white stuff and West Point had to call a "Code Red" and close the elementary and middle schools as well:

    Last night's NASCAR race was a great start to the season, congrats to Kyle Busch for the last turn pass for the win:

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's snowing out again. According to NOAA, we should get around 3" to 6" for the day's total accumulation. Tonight is the first NASCAR race of the season, the Busch Clash at Daytona. It's a short one, only 126.35 miles and it will be raced on the Daytona Road Course. Here's the current of the 2021 NASCAR schedule:

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday. We had a good weekend overall, hung out with the fellas at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY Saturday and then relaxed for the rest of the time at home. Congrats to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for being crowned the 2021 Superbowl Champs, it's time now for NASCAR and the Daytona 500 this coming Sunday. Pitchers and catchers report Monday the 15th so baseball is on the horizon. Enjoy your week everyone and be safe out there....... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as usual and it's Thursday which means we'll be heading over to Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars this evening. Got home from work yesterday and shoveled some more in the back, cleaned up around the barbecue grill and fire pit area. According to NOAA, the temps are suppose to get up to the upper 30s which should melt some of the snow today. I hope everyone has a great day and gets to enjoy a favorite or two...... 🤓

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". It looks like the snow has stopped for a bit, we had a little burst overnight which I'll clean up shortly. Heading to West Point afterwards to see how things are over that side of the mountain. Have a great day all and enjoy..... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's still snowing here in the Hudson Valley. So far, we got roughly 24" and I'll be going out shortly to clean off the vehicles and clear the walk and driveway for the third time. Code Red at West Point has been extended thru 1900 (7 pm) tonight which will keep all the drivers off the road and give the DPW crews more time to clean things up. Enjoy this winter blizzard if you can and be careful out there...... ☃

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday (tele-working as it's Code Red until noon tomorrow). We had a relaxing weekend, friends came over Saturday for brunch and a few drinks while we watched the beginning of the Rolex 24 live from Daytona. Weather wise, we are in a "Winter Storm Warning" according to NOAA. They are calling for a total daytime snow accumulation today of 10 to 16 inches with 3 to 5 inches tonight. It should end early tomorrow with less than one inch in total:

    West Point is "Code Red" which means emergency essential personnel only and the rest of us will tele-work from home. Stay safe everyone and enjoy...... ❄ ⛄🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Schlesinger's last night, I let the guys know about Hank's passing and we all raised our cigars to our brother. Weather wise this weekend, we have a cold snap on our hands (currently 10°F with a wind chill of -7°F) as well as snow arriving sometime late Sunday evening / early Monday morning:

    Sports wise, we have NHL action through out the weekend; the IMSA Rolex 24 live from Dayton starting at 1530 (3:30 pm) and continuing through Sunday afternoon; and on Sunday we have the NFL Pro Bowl. I hope you have a relaxing weekend, stay warm and enjoy........ 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday. This evening at Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars, I will smoke a cigar in honor of our dear brother Hank Proia, aka: Devil Doc, who passed on the 15th. You were special and will not be forgotten. Enjoy all and as I always say, be careful out there....... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Going out in a couple to clean off the vehicles and shovel the drive and walk ways. We got roughly 4" of the white stuff so it's not enough to pull out the snow blower. Have a great day everyone and be safe....... 👍

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday already. We had a good weekend overall, Saturday was relaxing and enjoyable at the Aroma Cigar Room. I tried two different house blends both produced by Francisco Almonte (owner of DBL Cigars). Then yesterday was a stay at home day after doing some morning shopping with Beth. Congrats to both Tampa Bay and Kansas City on their wins yesterday and getting to play in this year's Superbowl. Enjoy your week everyone and remember to be safe out there....... 👍
