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 coffee is on as always and it's Thursday. This evening at Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars, I will smoke a cigar in honor of our dear brother Hank Proia, aka: Devil Doc, who passed on the 15th. You were special and will not be forgotten. Enjoy all and as I always say, be careful out there....... ?

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Going out in a couple to clean off the vehicles and shovel the drive and walk ways. We got roughly 4" of the white stuff so it's not enough to pull out the snow blower. Have a great day everyone and be safe....... ?

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday already. We had a good weekend overall, Saturday was relaxing and enjoyable at the Aroma Cigar Room. I tried two different house blends both produced by Francisco Almonte (owner of DBL Cigars). Then yesterday was a stay at home day after doing some morning shopping with Beth. Congrats to both Tampa Bay and Kansas City on their wins yesterday and getting to play in this year's Superbowl. Enjoy your week everyone and remember to be safe out there....... ?

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday. Beth and I had a very relaxing weekend, did some furniture shopping on Sunday as she wants a new living room set and a few other pieces. We finished the first season of Money Heist last night which is on Netflix:

    We also watched some of the NFL Playoff games and as we all know, there were some upsets. Have a great week everyone and enjoy...... ?

Unfortunately, the NY Rangers go spanked by the NY Islanders 4 - 0 in the season opener. Let's go Rangers, you guys got this. NFL Playoffs this weekend has the following games on Saturday and Sunday:

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". So far, it's been a busy week here at West Point. Four to five hundred Cadets are returning daily from their winter break with all 4000+ being COVID-19 tested prior to going back to the dorm rooms. The entire Corps should be back by this weekend, online classes for two weeks and then in-classes start the beginning of February. Before we know it, graduation will be upon us and all. Enjoy your day everyone and smoke a favorite if you get the chance....... ?

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time last night at Schlesinger's, the place was hoppin' and a number of the regulars were out. Tomorrow, a number of us are going to check out a new cigar shop in the area that is opening up today for the first time:

    A good friend of mine peaked his head in the door the other day and talked with one of the owners. He said it was very nice inside and all. I'll let you all know how it went soon. This weekend we have a number of NFL Playoff games both on Saturday and Sunday. I hope you all enjoy and get to relax as well with a favorite or two or....... ?

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's finally back to work Monday. We had a great four days off relaxing and watching various movies on Netflix and a lot of college and pro football games. Unfortunately, Army came up short in the Liberty Bowl against WVU. The Cadets are off for at least another week as they'll start coming back in cohorts of 400 a day (all will get tested for COVID) and the last group arrive back here on the 18th. Have a great week all and enjoy....... ?

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's "Hump Day" (actually, the only day I'm working this week). I'll be kinda of busy this morning catching up on emails at work and closing out files for the year. The Army football team flies to Memphis, TN today to play in the Liberty Bowl against the Mountaineers of WVU which will be played tomorrow at 1600 (4 pm) on ESPN. This evening, we're heading over to Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars to enjoy a couple of primo stogies and all. We hate to be out on New Years Eve with all the crazies, it's more fun to bring in the New Year nice and warm on your own couch. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there....... ?

    Beth wants to transition the inside of the house today from "Christmas" to "Winter" with snowmen and women all around and other wintery stuff. It's a good day for it as I'll be bringing the storage buckets up and down from the attic. Have a great day all and enjoy......

    Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's another brisk wintery day here in the Hudson Valley. I have a couple of more days off being that I have use-or-lose vacation saved up (carrying over 240 hours - max allowed). I get 5 weeks a year and with COVID-19, it was hard to take it all. Enjoy your week everyone and be extra careful out there...... ?

    Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on along with a batch of buttermilk biscuits. Beth and I had a fabulous time visiting Jeremy, Christen and the grand daughters Sunday and returning yesterday. We exchanged Christmas gifts and loved seeing everyone especially the girls. Well, it was announced yesterday. Army will play in the Liberty Bowl against the Mountaineers of WVU New Years Eve on ESPN. Go Army, Beat WVU...... ??

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's looking like we'll have some snow showers this afternoon. A huge congrats to the Army football team as they scored with one minute left in the game to beat Air Force 10 - 7 and capture the Commander-in-Chief's trophy this year. It was a bitter cold out with temps never going above freezing but the Black Knights pulled it off. Have a great day all and enjoy....... ?
