Good morning all, the coffee has been on for a while and it's a brisk morning here in the Hudson Valley. We had a relaxing weekend over all: Saturday, I went to Aroma for a while and then came home to a nice home cooked meal and watched Army win again for two weeks in a row. The Eagles won Friday night, the Yankees won 2 out of 3 this weekend over the Cubs and Joey Logano took the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race. Weather wise this week, NOAA is predicting sunny days through this coming Sunday:

Good morning everyone, the espresso was on early today and I'm already back from my 4 mile walk. I see that the Yankees lost to the Royals last night 5 - 0, come on fellas and turn it around tonight. I hope you all have a relaxing "Hump Day" and enjoy. Remember the fallen from 9/11 and be America Strong...... 🇺🇸

Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's looking like we'll have another beautiful day here in the Hudson Valley. We had a good time at Aroma last night, a number of the regulars were out enjoying primo stogies and all. Congrats to the Yankees on their win last night in extra innings against the Red Sox which was the first of a four game series this weekend. The NASCAR racers are up at Watkins Glen, NY road racing this weekend which is always a change in pace. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy......

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it was and still is a beautiful weather time here. We had a great weekend with friends on Saturday and yesterday Beth and I relaxed out back. Congrats to the Yankees for taking 3 out of 4 from the Red Sox and are 3 games ahead in 1st place in the AL East. Chris Buescher took the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and I hope your favorite NFL team won. The Eagles play tonight and I'll be cheering them on to victory, Fly Eagles Fly. Enjoy your week all and remember to be safe out there.......

Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's looking like we'll have some rain off and on later today. Congrats to the Yankees on their win last night and hopefully they do it again tonight.

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on for a while now and it's a pleasant September morning here in the Hudson Valley. We had a good time at Aroma last night, a number of the regulars were hanging out along with a few new faces. The Yankees lost yesterday 3 to 2 and the Orioles won giving us a 4 game advantage still in the AL East. The Yankees will play the Athletics in Oakland this weekend and the NASCAR drivers are in Bristol, TN with racing this evening and tomorrow tonight. Also tomorrow, Army football takes on Rice at home and then Sunday the Eagles take on the Saints in New Orleans starting at 1300 (1 PM).

Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's a muggy Friday morning here in the Hudson Valley. We had a great time at Aroma last night, the place was packed and all were enjoying primo stogies as Army Football be Temple and the Yankees clinched the AL East. Unfortunately the Giants lost to the Cowboys, all I can say is Fly Eagles Fly. The NASCAR racers are in Kansas this weekend and the Yankees play the Pirates to close out the regular season. The Eagles play Sunday in Tampa against the Buccaneers, hopefully everything is cleaned up in time after the hurricane. Enjoy everyone and I hope all of you in the storms path is okay......

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on for a while now and it's cool and foggy morning as we speak. We had a good weekend overall: Beth and I helped out at the American Legion Clam Bake Fundraiser on Saturday and then yesterday we attended the annual Auxiliary Luncheon for Post 1796 in New Windsor, NY. I see that the Eagles lost, the Yankees won and the Mets have to win at least one of the two games in today's double header to make the playoffs. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy......

Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's a brisk Tuesday morning as we speak. We had a busy day yesterday as one of our long time American Legion members passed away last week and yesterday was the burial and life celebration followed at the Legion. Beth and I along with a few others set up the Hall and made sure everyone enjoyed their lunch and all. The Yankees lost last night in game 2 of their playoff series with the Royals. They each won a game and it's the best of 5 in this round. Have a great day everyone and all those in Hurricane Milton's path, prepare and we will pray for you......

We had a good time last night at Aroma, the place was hoping and a big congrats to the Yankees on advancing to the ALCS. They won't play until Monday night and that will be against the winner of the Detroit vs. Cleveland series. Today, I'm smoking a 6 pound chicken on the smoker Spatchcock style. It'll take a good 3 hours and then a half hour of rest time before we can eat it. The NASCAR racers are in Charlotte, NC this weekend with racing tomorrow and Sunday afternoon. Lastly, I hope your favorite NFL team does good this weekend, Fly Eagles Fly......

Also, congrats to Kyle Larson for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race. There's only four races left in the playoffs and they are down to the 8 racers eligible to take the championship:
