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 all, the espresso is on and it's a rainy morning here in the Hudson Valley. I'll most likely head over to Aroma today and see the fellas and smoke a stogie or two. Yesterday, Navy won their Bowl game 21 - 20 over Oklahoma. OU went for the win with attempting the two-point conversion with only 6 seconds left in the game and was denied giving the win to Navy. Army has their Bowl game this evening against Louisiana Tech starting at 2115 (9:15 PM):

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and we woke up to a winter wonderland with snow all over. The Army football team lost to Navy this past Saturday, not the outcome we were expecting. The Philadelphia Eagles on the other hand won over the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. I'm about to go out and clean up the walk and drive way along with our vehicles. Being retired now, I get to do it at my own pace. Enjoy your week everyone and remember to be safe out there....... ?

    Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's another brisk morning here in the Hudson Valley. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend filled with family and friends throughout. Thursday, we went to our dear friends for Thanksgiving dinner; Friday, I put an eleven pound turkey on the smoker (spatchcock style) and we had Beth's sister over and our nephew Gary; Saturday, we worked the American Legion Christmas Bizarre in New Windsor, NY all day; and yesterday was Sunday Funday at the Newburgh Brewery. Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on their win yesterday and also a big congrats to the Army Football team as well for their win over UTSA. Tulane lost to Memphis Friday night, so the AAC Championship game will be this Friday evening at West Point on CBS starting at 2000 (8 PM). Have a great week everyone and enjoy....... ?

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's a brisk Thanksgiving eve morning as we speak. Not much going on right now as Beth and I are going over to our dear friend's tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Beth has already made the corn casserole that was asked to bring along and I only have to go to the shop to pick up a couple of bottles of wine. Later on today we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room Thanksgiving feast which starts at 1800 (6 PM). I hope you all have a great couple of days and enjoy as well....... ??

    Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on for a while now and we finally got some much needed rain last night. We're heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY later on this afternoon to spend time with the fellas and smoke a couple of top shelf stogies. Hopefully tonight's Steelers / Browns game is not a blowout for Pittsburgh, it's always a better game when it's close. Anyway, have a great day all and enjoy....... ?

    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...... ?

    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...... ?
