Good morning post 3.0

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's already "Hump Day". I see that the NY Rangers dropped another one last night, lets go fellas and turn things around. They play tomorrow evening again, hopefully they can figure out a way to win one for a change. Anyway, enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there.......?

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and we are home safe and sound. The entire week in sunny South Florida was great, all the events were top notch and it was great seeing a lot of friends that we only see at the Great Smoke. Unfortunately, our flights were cancelled due to possible tornado warnings up and down the east coast. Our direct flight from West Palm to Newark turned into a flight out of Miami with a connecting flight through Chicago and then onto Newark. Total travel time was 17 hours and we didn't get home until 2 AM. I went to the Aroma Cigar Room yesterday to see how everyone is doing and everyone one of us said the same, "outstanding week". Anyway, have a great weekend all and enjoy....... 🍺

    Good morning all, we’re about to make the coffee and then head over to the South Florida Fairgrounds for the Great Smoke. We’ve had a great time so far and I’m sure the next 3 days will as well. Enjoy everyone….. :cool:

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and we are standing by for our car service to the Newark Airport. The guys are excited and we know that it'll be another great time especially being that it's the 20th anniversary of the Great Smoke. Have a great day all and I will check in now and then with some pictures....... 🥃

    Good morning all, the espresso is on and I'm about to start my day prepping for our trip to sunny South Florida. We had a good weekend overall: spent Saturday with the fellas at Aroma and then relaxed at home with Beth afterwards; yesterday, Beth and I went to the Newburgh Brewing Company for a local fundraiser and afterwards went over to the American Legion in New Windsor to spend time with friends and fellow veterans. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys...... :)

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's looking like we'll have periods of rain off and on through Saturday evening. This afternoon I'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY to smoke a couple of stogies. We'll be making our final plans as 14 of us are flying down next Wednesday morning to West Palm Beach, FL for the annual Great Smoke:

    Good morning all, the espresso is on and we're getting ready to sit back and cheer the USA Men's Hockey Team on to a Gold Medal victory. Spent most of the morning and early afternoon at Aroma yesterday and then game home to prep for the upcoming blizzard. The weather guessers at NOAA are calling for anywhere from 14 to 22 inches of snow from this morning through tomorrow afternoon:

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and it's looking like we'll have a rainy day today here in the Hudson Valley. Yesterday, it was sunny and in the 40s so Beth and I did a rack of ribs on the grill. We actually use the grill year round but when it's nice out, we like to take advantage of it. Have a happy Hump Day everyone and enjoy....... :)

    Good morning all, the espresso is on and we are back in New York safe and sound. We had a great vacation over all, enjoyed our relaxation and all the fun stuff Key West has to offer. The 2026 NASCAR season has officially begun with last night's truck race in the books. There will be racing this afternoon as well as tomorrow with the Daytona 500. Enjoy your weekend everyone....... 🍺

    Good morning all from sunny Key West, the coffee is on and I’m about to go out and get some breakfast. The past few days have been very nice and relaxing. I have enjoyed smoking a number of top shelf stogies and will continue today as well. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys……. 🍺

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and I'm getting ready to head out and meet the fellas at Aroma. We have coffee, donuts, and of course top shelf cigars. I've already packed my cigars (35 primo sticks) for our 12 day trip and all I have left to do is pack my clothes and things which I'll knock out this afternoon. We have a 0500 (5 AM) car service in the morning and once we're checked in, we'll be heading up to the United Club for Bloody Marys and breakfast. I'll check in while we are on vacation and hopefully we have some nice weather while we are down there. Enjoy all and stay warm...... :)

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's freezing out as we speak. That's fine as Beth and I will be getting ready for our annual trip to Key West that's start bright and early Sunday morning. We're going for 12 days which means we'll enjoy the Super Bowl down there. Got a little running around to do today and then come home and relax. Enjoy everyone....... 🍺

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and it's a cold morning here in the Hudson Valley. According to NOAA, it's currently 5°F outside with a wind chill of -7°F:

    Unless you have not watched television, listened to the radio, or viewed any social media in reference to the upcoming weather, we're going to get hammered. The weather guessers are calling for anywhere from 11 to 20 inches starting tomorrow morning and lasting through midday on Monday. At least the AFC and NFC championship games are on along with other sports to keep us busy. Enjoy your weekend all and definitely be careful out there....... 🇺🇲

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and it's a snowy Sunday morning. Yesterday, we got roughly 6" of snow from day break until mid afternoon and it's snowing again and the weather guessers are calling for another 5" today:

    ​https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?w0=t&w1=td&w2=wc&w3=sfcwind&w3u=1&w4=sky&w5=pop&w6=rh&w7=rain&w9=snow&AheadHour=0&Submit=Submit&FcstType=graphical&textField1=41.4287&textField2=-74.0357&site=all&unit=0&dd=&bw=

    ​I spent most of the day at Aroma with the fellas and then got home to shovel the driveway and all before sitting down to watch some NFL Playoff games. The Broncos vs. the Bills was a terrific game while the Seahawks ve. the 49ers was a blowout. I hope today's games are worth watching and wish your favorite teams win. Have a great day all and enjoy....... 🏈

    Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's looking like we'll get some snow through tomorrow. I fully understand that it's winter and all, but I hate the cold weather especially shovelling the white stuff. Have a great day everyone and try and enjoy a favorite or two or...... :)

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and I'll be going to West Point in a bit for a routine doctor's appointment. We had a great weekend starting with Saturday at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY. Two of our crew retired and started the next chapters in their life. Yesterday, Beth and I went to the American Legion in New Windsor, NY took down and stored all the holiday decorations and stayed to watch some NFL games.

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday the 2nd of January. We had a great New Year's Eve at the Legion and then we went back yesterday to have a New Year's Day lunch for everyone. The College Bowl games in the past two day were exciting to watch and I hope today's will be just as good. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy....... 👍
