Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. We had a great weekend over all; went to the cigar shop on Saturday after getting my tires rotated at Mavis; supported a veteran's group yesterday at the Newburgh Brewery - Play For Your Freedom; then finished off the day with dinner at the Captain's Table - top shelf seafood on the Newburgh waterfront. Congrats to Kyle Busch for grabbing the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race, he swept the weekend with winning Saturday's race as well. Anyway, enjoy your week everyone and smoke a favorite or two or........ :-)
