Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday after a great Super Bowl evening. A huge congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles as we all know that they are the 2018 NFL Champions. I've been rooting for the Eagles since the Ron Jaworski days and they finally pulled it off, outstanding! Well, it's time to get back to watching hockey and NASCAR as they have their first race this week down in Daytona:

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a good day yesterday despite the rain and all. We got some grocery shopping done then headed to a new place we found on Facebook, the Gardiner Liquid Mercantile. It has local beers on tap and the food is very tasty. Afterwards, we got home just in time to catch the NASCAR race and then finished the evening watching the Olympics. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys. I will be posting shortly about this year's Quad State Herf, all I can say right now is leave the 4th of August free on your calendars....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's looking like we'll have record breaking temperatures today. Yesterday after work, we sat out and enjoyed cold beers and I smoke a well aged Joya de Nicaragua Machito as we barbecued inch and a half thick pork chops, sweet potatoes and asparagus. According to NOAA, they are saying that we'll hit 71 °F this afternoon, not bad for a February day in New York:
