Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Saturday morning. I see that the Yankees lost the weekend opener in Boston, hopefully they turn it around and post a "W" today. Well, we are a week away from our annual Wounded Warrior Fund Raiser - Quad State State Herf 8. A lot of the logistical stuff got done yesterday, cigars & merchandise are rolling in and coordinations are in progress. Not sure about you all but I'm getting excited. Enjoy the weekend everyone and don't forget, smokem' if you get the chance....... Image

Good morning all and happy Sunday. Coffee is on and it seems that the brutal heat is over for a while. It was good to see the Yankees beat the Red Sox yesterday and hopefully they take the rubber game of the match-up this evening. Enjoy the day everyone and smoke a favorite or two or....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already Monday morning. Well, the Yankees lost the rubber match last night against the Red Sox 8 - 7 with Boston getting a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 8th to seal it. Anyway, definitely going to be a busy week with Quad State Herf 8 this coming Saturday. Always great to get stressed out about having a huge cigar event for 220+ guests and everything always ends up super. Like they say, stress is good for you sometimes especially when you enjoy what you are doing. Have a great week everyone and to those S/BOTL that are traveling this week here to West Point, be safe and see you all Saturday........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Tuesday morning. Well, we finally got some rain we needed for a few weeks. Also, I see the Yankees lost another one, not a good season at all as we predicted. Anyway, 4 days and a wake-up and we'll be enjoying ourselves at this year's Quad State Herf........ Image

Good morning all, the coffee is on and today is my furlough day for this week (no work - no pay, thank you President Obama) thank god it ends 28 September. It was good to see the Yankees win last night, lets see if they can double it up. It may as well make it a productive one and get all of the yard work done today and start organizing the goodies for this Saturday's QSH. Enjoy everyone and smokem' if you get the chance....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at Hudson Valley Cigars / Schlesinger's Cigar Bar this evening smoking primo stogies and finalizing the last minute stuff for this Saturday's event. I see that the Yankees lost last night, time to rebound fellas as this is the 2nd half of the season. Enjoy everyone and for those that are traveling today, be safe and we'll see you Saturday morning if not sooner........ Image

Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm starting to get back to normal after an amazing weekend that was off the charts.

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday which means that we'll be at Hudson Valley Cigars / Schlesinger's Cigar Bar this evening enjoying primo stogies. Had a good day yesterday even though it was my weekly furlough day (Thank you President Obama), got a lot of yard work done, saw some relatives I haven't seen for a while and then Beth and I headed over to the Newburgh Brewery for Happy Hour. It was good to see that the Yankees won, so all in all, it was a good "Hump Day". I hope everyone has a good one today and enjoys....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's looking like it'll be another beautiful day today. Taking Beth on a doctor's appointment today down in Westchester, NY so the ride should be nice.

Happy "Hump Day" everyone, the coffee is on and it's my last furlough day (off without pay - thank you President Obama). Got some running around to do with Beth and then I'll get the yard work done and save my weekend for rest and relaxation. Congrats to the Yankees as their bats came alive last night with a 14 - 7 over the Angels (sounds like a football score to me - LOL). Have a great day everyone and enjoy a favorite or two or....... :-)

Today they play a day game with the first pitch thrown around 1305 (1:05pm). Enjoy the day everyone and smokem' if you get the chance...... Image

It was good to see the Yankees take the series in Boston and hopefully they tighten up the AL East as they are 7.5 games behind right now.
