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. The Yankees are back at it tonight starting at 1937 (7:37 PM) with Nestor Cortes pitching and hopefully the bats stay hot as well. They are calling for heavy rains this evening, so keep your fingers crossed that they'll get the game in. Anyway, enjoy all and stay safe out there....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. We worked 12 hours this past Saturday in support of the Army Football vs. Colgate game at West Point (Army won 42 - 17). The Yankees and Guardians are tied 2 games a piece and will play tonight in the Bronx to see who advances to the next round. The Eagles beat the Cowboys last night 26 - 17 giving them a 6 - 0 record. Congrats to Joey Logano for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and advancing him to the final 4 in the championship. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy...... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Another early morning at West Point as we continue to observe the unvaccinated Garrison employees self test for COVID-19. It's a requirement by the Department of Army when we are either at a medium or high COVID rate for our county. Hopefully the numbers drop this Friday as the case / hospital percentages are reported every Thursday evening. Have a great day all and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0400 as today is a mirror image of yesterday. The only difference is that this evening we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room and the weather is a little nicer. Early morning COVID testing and then our first MS Teams meeting is at 1000 (10 AM) with our West Point Superintendent (3 Star General). I hope everyone has a great day and we get to see some of the local S/BOTL tonight. Enjoy....... :-)

We're planning on doing some yard work tomorrow and then relax out back with a fire pit and put on a rack of ribs on the grill low and slow. Sports wise, the NASCAR drivers are in Martinsville, VA this weekend; there's plenty of NHL, NFL and college football to keep you busy. Anyway, enjoy all and I hope you get to smoke a favorite or two or........ :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's a wet Tuesday morning here in the Hudson Valley. There's not much going on today except for the scheduled meeting we have planned and all. Halloween is in the books for 2022, we had a lot of kids stop by trick or treating and we even had a neighbor stop by with cold beers. Enjoy all and stay safe out there....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Being that it's almost time to vote, get out there and hit up your local voting station and make a change.

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. I see that the World Series is tied up 2 games a piece, I'm not really following it being that the Yankees got eliminated, hopefully they go 7 games and make it worth it for all of their fans. 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 time at Aroma last night, the usual suspects were out enjoying top shelf stogies and all. Congrats to the Eagles on their win last night (it was ugly but still a win at the end) and now they have an 8 - 0 record this season. I see that Phillies lost last night, the Astros up now 3 games to 2. They're heading back to Houston and the World Series will be decided this weekend. Also this weekend, all three NASCAR series (Camping World Truck, Xfinity, and Cup) will race for the Championship in Phoenix, AZ; NHL; college and NFL football. Enjoy everyone....... :-)
