Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's finally Friday! Tonight is the Aroma Cigar Room Christmas party and tomorrow is the holiday party at the American Legion in New Windsor, NY. Sunday is Christmas Eve and we'll be heading over to one of our niece and nephew's house for their annual get together. Monday is the big day, Beth and I will have brunch at her sister's house and then we'll head over to their daughter's house for Christmas dinner. There's plenty of sports to watch all weekend as well as holiday shows to keep you busy through out. Enjoy everyone and remember to be very safe out there....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday after a relaxing Christmas weekend. Congrats to the Eagles on their win last night, it was a sloppy game but they came out victorious at the end. Enjoy your week all and remember to be safe out there....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's already "Hump Day". It looks like we have rain coming our way here in the Hudson Valley for the next three days according to NOAA. One good thing is that the weekend through early next week looks dry and all:

Have a great day everyone and enjoy........ :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening enjoying top shelf stogies and all. NOAA was correct as it rained through the night and it will stop sometime early Saturday morning. I hope you all enjoy your day and we see some of the local S/BOTL tonight........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Friday! We had a great time at Aroma last night, the place was hoppin' and everyone was enjoying primo smokes and all. There's plenty of college bowl games on throughout the weekend as well as NFL, NHL and NBA sports to keep you busy. If you go out New Year's Eve, party responsibly and take care of each other. Enjoy the weekend everyone....... :-)

The Lions could have won against Dallas, but IMO got screwed by poor officiating. Seems that happens a lot in the NFL nowadays.

Would be nice to get a first round bye....

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday after a relaxing New Years weekend. Beth and I stayed home New Years Eve leaving the partying to the younger folks. I hope you all have a prosperous 2024 and enjoy...... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's already "Hump Day". I see that we are getting some snow this Saturday evening into Sunday, the weather guessers are still trying to figure out how much:

​Time to fire up the snowblower and ensure we have enough salt spread for the driveway. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there..... :-)

Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. I just checked NOAA for this weekend's snow predictions and they are saying that we should be getting 6+ inches from Saturday afternoon into Sunday. That could all change by tomorrow they say, keeping fingers crossed. Have a great day all and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, a number of the usual suspects were out enjoying top shelf cigars and all. NOAA has updated their weather guess for the weekend, now they are saying we're going to receive 10+ inches of snow starting early Saturday afternoon into Sunday evening. We'll be ready for it with bells on as they say:

Sports wise, there's plenty of NHL, NFL and NBA on the television throughout to keep you satisfied. Enjoy everyone....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's back to work Monday already. I got our storm prep done Saturday and I'm glad I did. We got a good 11 inches of snow and it was wet and heavy. Unfortunately, halfway through, my snow blower stoped throwing snow. I checked the shear pins and they are all intact. Further investigations are forth coming once I get a chance to take it apart and give it a look see. Now that the regular NFL season is over, the playoff schedule is set. Should be a good this year, hope no one runs away with the championship. Have a great week all and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's a chilly Tuesday morning as we speak. I got home yesterday and took a look at the snow blower and found a chunk of ice lodged in the chute blocking anything from going forward. All cleaned up and ready for the next storm. Congrats to Michigan as they are the NCAA Football Champions after beating Washington last night. Have a great day everyone and enjoy...... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". We had rain and wind all night long with temps in the lower 50s which helped with the melting of most of the snow from Saturday night. The issue they are worrying about now is flooding and all in low areas and run off from the mountain. Beware out there today and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. We're heading over there earlier than normal as I have some use-or-lose vacation I have to take before this weekend. Taking two hours today and four hours tomorrow which will bring me down to 240 on the books that the government allows to maintain at anytime. Have a great day all and we hope to see some of the local S/BOTL tonight....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and I'm heading to West Point shortly to meet the fellas for an early breakfast at the chow hall. We had a great time at Aroma last night, the place was hoppin' and the regular crew was there enjoying top shelf stogies. We're trying to finalize our flights down to the Great Smoke in February. We're heading out the 21st and returning the 25th. Currently looking at Westchester County to West Palm Beach or Newark to West Palm Beach. Both locations are costly (Sunday flight home is above average), looking everyday for a good deal. We're gonna decide soon and book our flights before everything is taken. Anyway, enjoy your weekend and relax as well....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday. We got some snow last night so West Point called a two hour delay with an adverse weather call at 0700 (7 AM). I watched the Eagles lose last night and said to myself they better get it together for next year. Thank goodness that NASCAR and MLB is right around the corner. Have a great week everyone and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's "Hump Day" already. Yesterday's two hour delay turned into a "Code Red" all day as the snow and sleet didn't stop until after 1800 (6 PM). NOAA is now calling for another winter blast with the snow starting late Thursday evening into late Friday night / early Saturday morning:

Have a great day all and remember to be safe out there. Enjoy....... :-)

"Did you order the code red?" :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. I just checked and there's not much difference in NOAA's weather prediction from yesterday. Have a great day everyone and we hope to see a number of the local S/BOTL tonight...... :-)
