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 coffee is on and it's "Hump Day" for most of you. The Yankees lost last night 9 - 7 against the Mets, hopefully the tables turn tonight and the Yankees are on top at the end. The new smoker arrived yesterday afternoon and I put it together already. The only thing left to do is the first four hour burn in to season this beauty:

    Beth and I are already discussing what we're going to smoke first: pork shoulder, ribs, turkey legs. Anyway, have a great day everyone and enjoy...... ?

    Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and it's finally a beautiful Monday morning here in the Hudson Valley. The humidity and temperature have dropped, we've opened the windows and turned off the AC. We had a great week in Orlando but it's always nice to come home. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy...... ?

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, a number of the usual suspects were out enjoying top shelf stogies and all. Unfortunately, the Yankees lost in the bottom of the 9th and didn't sweep the Royals as hoped. They'll be in Boston this weekend taking on the Red Sox and hopefully we take at least 2 out of 3 there as well. The NASCAR racers are in Newton, Iowa this weekend with racing tonight, tomorrow and Sunday:

    Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's a beautiful morning here in the Hudson Valley. I have some running around to do today: Stop by the local Social Security Office in Newburgh, NY and drop off my W-4V Form (Voluntary Withholding Request); afterwards, head to the local Home Depot for a couple of things; next, stop in and see what's on sale at Tractor Supply in New Windsor, NY; lastly, do some grocery shopping at the local market. Sports wise today, the Yankees have a 1705 (5:05 PM) game at home against the Astros and then the NY Rangers vs. the Carolina Hurricanes drop the puck at 1900 (7 PM). I'll be heading to the Aroma Cigar Room around 1530 (3:30 PM) to enjoy a couple of top shelf stogies and all. Enjoy everyone and I hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL today....... ?
