Good morning all, the espresso coffee and Belgium Waffles are on. Wanted to ensure I had a full belly prior to going out and clearing the heavy snow from the side and walkways as well as the vehicles and driveway. Unfortunately, the Eagles played horribly yesterday and got eliminated from the NFL playoffs just as the Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots and the Raiders. One good thing to consider, the NASCAR season starts the 6th of February in Los Angeles at the Coliseum:

Enjoy your week everyone and I hope you get to enjoy a favorite or two or....... :-)

Enjoy all and definitely be care out there today......... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. Weather wise, no snow has actually fallen to the ground as of yet. The weather guessers are saying that it is snowing but I don't see anything thing sticking to the ground as we speak. Anyway, enjoy all and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL tonight....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good night at Aroma, a number of the regulars were out as well as a few of our friends we haven't see in a while. Weather wise, we ended up with roughly 3" of snow yesterday and currently it's -2°F with the wind chill. There are going to be some good NFL Football games both Saturday and Sunday starting at 1630 (4:30 pm) tomorrow. The NY Rangers are hot on the ice right now and NASCAR is heating up as well with the first race of the year coming the 6th of February. Enjoy the weekend everyone....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's back to work Monday. We had a good weekend overall, spent Saturday at the Aroma Cigar Room with the fellas and the had a nice dinner at home with Beth. Yesterday after doing some grocery shop, we relaxed at the house and enjoyed a few cold one while watching a couple of great NFL games on the television. I would have loved to see Buffalo advance in the Payoffs but a big congrats to the Chiefs on a well played game. Have a great week all and enjoy........ :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a great at Aroma, place was hoppin' and everyone was enjoying top shelf cigars and all. Unfortunately, the NY Rangers came up short loosing 5 - 3, they'll be back at it tonight against the Minnesota Wild starting at 2000 (8 pm). Also this weekend, we have the NFL Conference Championship games on Sunday to determine who goes to the Superbowl. My prediction is the Chiefs vs. the Rams in the big game come February 13th. Lastly, the Rolex 24 starts tomorrow afternoon live from Daytona, FL:

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's back to work Monday. Congrats to the Rams and the Bengals for making it to the Super Bowl, should make for a good game for sure. Congrats to the NY Rangers as well for their 3 - 2 victory yesterday over the Seattle Kraken. Beth and I watched quite a bit of the Rolex 24 and the last few laps was out of control. Congrats to all the series winners and I hope the rest of the IMSA season will be just as exciting to watch:

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's looking like we'll have a sunny day today with temps finally going above freezing for a day or two. This minor warm up will help with melting some of the snow on the streets and get us ready for the freezing rain they are predicting for the end of the week. The NY Rangers will be taking on the Florida Panthers tonight at home at Madison Square Garden starting at 1900 (7 pm). Hope you all have a great day and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's another early morning in the office. One good thing is that we'll be getting off early so the BBQ will be lit and I'll enjoy a favorite cigar this afternoon as well. Congrats to the NY Rangers on their win last night over the Florida Panthers with a final score of 5 - 2. Enjoy everyone....... :-)

Good morning all, the espresso coffee was on at 0630 and we're working from home today as the roads are covered with ice and West Point is "Code Red". We had a great time at Aroma last night, the place was packed and we smoked some top shelve stogies. NASCAR starts the 2022 racing season this weekend with the Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Sunday:
