So far the weekend has been going great; went to an Alzheimer's Walk with friends and family; stopped by a new brewery in Walden, NY https://orangecountyhops.com/; went to the 21st Welcome Home to Vets - Hudson Valley Honor Flight from D.C.; spent yesterday afternoon at the Sugar Loaf Fall Festival; then came home to BBQ and sit around enjoy a couple of cold ones and a cigar. Today's weather is a little iffey according to NOAA here in the Hudson Valley: Columbus Day - Patchy drizzle. Patchy fog before 2pm. Otherwise, cloudy, with a high near 65. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph.

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a great time last night, the food was out of this world and the beer matched it perfectly. We told the owner that we'll be back for the next one already be it a wine pairing or another beer one. I see that the Red Sox won and are moving into the World Series, hopefully it's a good one and goes 7 games. The NASCAR racers are in Kansas this weekend and there's plenty of NHL and NFL along with college football throughout. Army football takes on Miami of Ohio tomorrow here at West Point which means we have to have the Emergency Operation Center up and running by 0500. It's a long day for sure (12 hours) but well worth it. Anyway, enjoy and smoke a favorite or two if your get the chance........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on it's a chilly Sunday here in the Hudson Valley. Congrats to Army for a double overtime win yesterday over Miami of Ohio 31 - 30. It went down to the end where M of O went for a 2 point conversion to win it and came up short. I see that LA Dodgers have advanced to the World Series as well, hope it goes 7 games and they a victors in the end over the Red Sox. Today, we'll be watching a couple of NFL games and the NASCAR race from Kansas as well. Enjoy everyone and stay warm out there........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. Beth and I had a good day yesterday visiting breweries in the Hudson Valley and finishing off with pizza from Prima in Cornwall: https://www.pizzaofnewyork.com/Home
I see that the Eagles lost yesterday after having the lead going into half-time, time to toughen up the defense. Congrats to Chase Elliott for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and advancing to the round of eight with only 4 races left in the season. Anyway, enjoy your week everyone and remember to be safe out there........ :-)
