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.......?

    Congrats to the Eagles on their win yesterday and to Tyler Reddick for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race in Homestead, FL. There's only two races left in the season and there are still 8 racers eligible to be crowned the 2024 champion. This evening, the Yankees play game 3 of the World Series at home and they have to turn things around and put up a big "W". Enjoy your week everyone and remember to be stay safe out there...... ?

    Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and we are back in the US after 10 great days in Europe. The weather was on our side and never got a day of rain. Got to see relatives in Budapest and saw a lot of sites and enjoyed tasty foods and great beer. Time to unpack and enjoy the weekend...... ?

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on for a while now and a happy Columbus Day to everyone. Congrats to the Eagles on their win yesterday even though it wasn't great. 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:

    Today, Beth and I are packing for our European trip that starts tomorrow. We have a car service picking us up around 1230 (12:30 PM) and our plane takes off for Munich, Germany at 1700 (5 PM). We land at 0720 (7:20 AM) on Wednesday and will spend 3 1/2 days in Center City Munich. On Saturday, we catch a train at noon to Budapest, Hungary where we will spend 4 1/2 days touring both sides of the Danube River as Buda and Pest are seperated by the river. We've been planning this trip before COVID, finally are going to enjoy our European Vacation. Have a great week everyone and I'll try and stop in now and then when I can find a WiFi cafe / hotspot....... ?

    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...... ?

    Good morning all, the espresso has been on since 0400 (4 AM) as I put an 8 pound pork shoulder on the smoker and it'll be ready for dinner this evening.

    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...... ?

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.

I'm planning on cutting the grass shortly and then later this afternoon we're throwing some turkey legs in the smoker which should take around 3 hours. The Yankees got their butts whooped yesterday, hopefully they bounce back and put up a "W" today. Enjoy your Labor Day all, relax and smoke a favorite or two or........ ?

    Beth and I are going up to Kingston, NY later on this morning to ride the Rip Van Winkle II River Boat up and down the Hudson and we'll stop by one of our favorite breweries (Keegan's Ale) afterwards. It was good to see the Yankees win again yesterday and stay neck and neck with the Orioles and be 1.5 games ahead of them. The NASCAR racers are in Daytona this weekend with only 2 races left until the playoffs begin. This is the last weekend of preseason NFL, yeah baby, bring it on. Have a great weekend all and enjoy...... ??
