Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. It's going to be a short week as Uncle Sam is giving us Friday off for the 4th of July weekend celebration. Unfortunately, not to many towns are having parades, festivities or fireworks this year. A year to remember and tell our grand kids about. It was a good weekend for NASCAR, there was racing all day yesterday and part of Saturday (rain postponed one race which ran yesterday morning). Anyway, enjoy your week all and be safe out there........ :-)

I know we can use the rain and all as the rivers are low, fingers crossed we have some sun on the 4th to at least get the BBQ going. Have a great day everyone and hopefully we can squeeze a cigar in the day somewhere........ :-)

Good morning everyone, coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". We actually have tomorrow left to work and then we have a 3 day weekend. Unfortunately, no one is having any Independence Day festivities as a result of the current COVID-19 situation. We'll make the best of it and make up for it next year. Enjoy all and remember to be safe out there...... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday after a relaxing weekend filled with BBQ, cigars and adult beverages. The 4th of July was very different this year, no parades or fireworks except for the surrounding neighbors that lit of bottle rockets and stuff. Yesterday, I found out a dear friend passed away yesterday loosing her battle with cancer. Irma was a big supporter year after year of our Quad State Herf and she will be deeply missed. Until we meet again sister, keep those cigars burning in heaven. Enjoy all....... :-)

Sorry for your loss, brother. My sympathies.

Condolences...The worst thing about getting older and (sometimes) wiser is when people you care about around you pass away. Its a thought that never really comes to mind in your 20's or 30's.

The mark of someone's life however is in how they are remembered. When you think of that person and it makes you smile they have lived a good life. That being said all I have left to say is **** cancer...:-)

So sorry for your loss, Charlie.

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0400 as I couldn't sleep any longer. Today is day 3 of the Class of 2024 arriving at West Point (1240 new cadets). The class was divided into three groups with the first group arrived Sunday and so forth. Each one of them is tested for COVID-19 upon arrival utilizing the new GEN-X testing system that gives you a result in one hour. They'll be receiving all their clothing and equipment this week and start the 4 year West Point experience immediately. Have a great day all and be safe out there...... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a good weekend overall even though the temperatures were off the chart. Saturday morning I stopped be Hudson Valley Cigars and smokes a couple catching up with the fellas; in the afternoon we watched some NASCAR racing while we barbecued some ribs low and slow; yesterday morning I did some yard work and then stopped over the New Windsor American Legion to check in on my fellow veterans; lastly, finished up the day watching more NASCAR and grilling burgers on the grill. Enjoy your week all and remember to be safe out there....... :-)
