Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, the usual suspects were out and about having a good time and smoking top shelf cigars. The NY Rangers won 3 - 0 and the NY Mets won 5 - 1 as well. The Yankees will start their season today with the first pitch thrown at 1305 (1:05 PM), "Lets Go Yankees". The NASCAR drivers are in Martinsville, VA this weekend; they raced the Camping World Truck Series last night and will be racing tonight as well as tomorrow evening in the Xfinity and Cup Series'. With all this weekend's sports to enjoy watching, we're still going out to enjoy a couple cold ones. We picked "The Hudson House and Distillery in West Park, NY:

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. We had a great weekend filled with friends and family throughout. We had a great day Saturday at the Hudson House taking the tour, sipping on some top shelf bourbon, rye, vodka and then dinner to follow. Yesterday, we went to one of our nephew's home and celebrated a 10th birthday for a great nephew. Congrats to the Yankees for taking 2 out of 3 games this weekend from the Red Sox, keep it up fellas. The NY Rangers are now locked in to the playoffs, LGR! Enjoy your week everyone...... :-)

Enjoy all and remember to be safe out there........ :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. We had a great weekend, Friday night we sat around the fire pit and relaxed; spent Saturday at the Aroma Cigar Room with the fellas smokin' and jokin'; and then yesterday a group of us went to the Magnanini Winery for their 6 course Easter Dinner family style:

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0400 today (a few minutes earlier than normal), and it's raining all night here in the Hudson Valley. The reason why the earlier start this morning at West Point is we have to be in and set up by 0700 (7 AM) for COVID observation/testing again. The Orange County COVID level is back up to "medium" and most likely a result of Spring Break. There's no requirement for masking yet (that gets turned on if we get to the "High" status). The only folks that have to self test are the unvaccinated and currently that number is 52. Anyway, enjoy everyone and be careful out there....... :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Today is "Day 2" of testing as the Department of Defense's policy states that you have to test the unvaccinated twice a week within a 72 hour period. Congrats to the Yankees on their win last night over the Tigers. These two team will be back at it again tonight in Detroit and hopefully the Bombers put up another "W". I hope you all have a great day and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on as usual and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room this evening smoking top shelf cigars.

I hope everyone has a great day and we see a few of the S/BOTL tonight........ :-)

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good night at Aroma, a number of the regulars were out and enjoying great cigars and catching up on the world's news. Sports wise, the Yankees lost yesterday in Detroit 3 - 0, they had a bad 8th inning. They'll be home this evening taking on the Cleveland Guardians (no longer the Indians) starting at 1905 (7:05 PM). The NASCAR drivers are in Talladega, AL this weekend racing tomorrow and on Sunday. The NY Rangers only have a few games left in the regular season and the NHL will begin the Playoffs. Lets Go Rangers! On a non-sport issue, we'll be working this Saturday as well as next Saturday in the EOC being that there's a lot going at West Point between sporting and competitive military events. One good thing is that it'll help pay for our vacation to Key West in June. Anyway, enjoy all and I hope you get to smoke a favorite or two or....... :-)

Hopefully the Yankees can get their game in this evening against to Orioles with the first pitch being thrown at ~1905 (7:05 PM). In reference to this year's Quad State Herf, I'm starting to send out sponsorship letters and we already have sponsors signing on board which is great. Anyway, I hope you all have a great day and enjoy......... :-)
