Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it‘s looking like we’ll have another beautiful day here in the Hudson Valley today. Got some yard work done yesterday, set the waterfall up for the season and a few other projects to get things started. Congrats to the Yankees on their win last night and a final score of 8 - 1 over the Phillies. Have a great day everyone and enjoy.….. 🍺

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it’s Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, the usual suspects were out enjoying fine cigars and all. Sports wise this weekend, there’s plenty of MLB, NHL, NBA and NASCAR for all to watch starting tonight through Sunday evening. I hope you all have a happy Easter weekend and enjoy…… 🐰

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday after a great Easter weekend. Spent Saturday with the fellas at Aroma and then came home to relax with Beth out back. Yesterday, we had a relaxing Easter sitting around with friends enjoying a couple of cold ones and smoking top shelf cigars. The Yankees took 2 out of three from the Orioles and a big congrats to Christopher Bell for taking the checkered flag in last night's NASCAR race in Bristol, TN. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys...... :-)

Rangers will play either the Devils or the Hurricanes in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, depending on the results of those two teams' games tonight. If I were a Rangers fan, I'd definitely be hoping to play Jersey.

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a great weekend overall: Friday after work, we sat out back in the gazebo and enjoyed some tasty wine and I smoked a couple of primo stogies; Saturday morning, I headed over to the American Legion in New Windsor, NY at 0700 where we fed over 200 motorcyclist that escorted the buses for the Hudson Valley Honor Flight which included the Legion Riders, Patriot Guard, Leathernecks and other military organisations. Saturday afternoon, I went over to Handsome Devil BBQ where they had their 3rd annual Cigarbecue Fundraiser. Yesterday, we had our Cadet Caleb Richardson that we sponsor over and his best friend Tyler over for a BBQ. They both will be graduating the 27th of May and moving on to bigger and better things as new Second Lieutenants in the US Army. It was good to see the Yankees win yesterday and split the four game series with the Twins after losing the first two games in a row. Congrats to Kyle Larsen for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race live from Martinsville, VA. Enjoy your week and remember to be safe out there...... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, the place was hopping' and we all enjoyed primo stogies and all. Took the day off yesterday, Beth had an eye doctor appointment and then we did some yard work. We spread 12 bags of mulch and then a yard (1 ton) of 3/4" white stone as well. A little sore today, nothing that time won't heal. Congrats to the Yankees on a big win yesterday afternoon over the Angels with a final score of 9 - 3 and to the NY Rangers last night with a score of 5 - 1 again over the NJ Devils. The NHL playoffs continue this weekend and the MLB and NASCAR racing have a full schedule as well. I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy....... :-)
