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 Ward mates. It's Friday eve. :-) I'm relishing in work-remotely mode, as our office will be going back to in-office work starting July. I've been finding time to have a stick 3-4x a week this past month, due to nice weather and light work. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

    The rain held off long enough yesterday that I got to cut my grass after work, the yard looks great and I'll be able to enjoy this evening. Plan on sitting back and enjoying a cigar or two or........ :D

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Another busy day at West Point today as the Secretary of the Army along with the GEN McConville (Chief of Staff of the Army) will be visiting the installation in preparation of the President's visit next week. Enjoy your day all and hopefully things calm down in the neighborhoods all around....... 🍻

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a good weekend overall, worked a half day on Saturday; relaxed out back for the afternoon and then yesterday we went for a ride and walked down at the Newburgh riverfront. Congrats to Brad Keselowski for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race down in Bristol, TN. Definitely a bizarre finish:

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0415 and it's Friday. Congrats to Chase Elliott on his first NASCAR win of the season last night, it's always good to see an up and coming star of the sport take one from the veteran drivers:

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday. The first group (roughly 100 brigade staff members) of the Graduating class return to West Point today, they'll go through medical testing and then a 2 week quarantine prior to the June 13th graduation. I was running late yesterday and didn't post the link to the Memorial Day Wreath Laying ceremony at West Point. You can watch the video here:

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday. Even though I have to tele-work tomorrow from 0700-1100, the Memorial Day weekend is here. On Monday, a number of us will be at West Point laying a wreath at Trophy Point in honor of those fine men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep America free. We will maintain social distancing, wear our face coverings and show it live on "Facebook Live". I'll share the link Monday morning for all to view. This Sunday, the NASCAR drivers will be racing at Charlotte, NC in the Coca-Cola 600 live on FOX. Again, no fans in the stands which currently is the safe thing to do. Enjoy the weekend everyone and be safe....... 🇺🇸

    Good morning all and Happy Friday! I've been on staycation this week and honestly, I could get used to it. lol But today I'm going to poke my head in the office, as there is something I want to address. I will also be picking up some "take and bake" from a local restaurant trying to stay in business while not being able to open for dine in dining.

    I hope to have a cigar or two during the long weekend. I hope you do too. Enjoy!

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and I think it's Thursday or is it Ground Hog Day again? We watched last night's NASCAR race that was rain shortened and congrats to Denny Hamlin for taking the checkered flag:

    Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. We had a good weekend overall: major thunderstorm Friday night took out our internet / VIOS TV for about 15 hours (entire grid was out); Saturday was beautiful, enjoyed a few cigars out back; yesterday was also another beautiful day and we got to watch the NASCAR race live from Darlington Raceway in South Carolina. Full recap of the race, congrats to Kevin Harvick for taking the checkered flag...... 🏁

    Good morning Ward B and Happy Friday!

    Wow, there's a lot involved with graduation, Charlie. What will you be smoking to celebrate the graduating class on June 13?

    It's been a while since I made a cigar purchase, and I have some sticks coming in the mail that I'm looking forward to trying. Saturday is looking great weather wise, so it will definitely be an outdoor smoking night.

    Hope everyone's weekend is productive, relaxing, and safe!

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! Things are beginning to get back to normal as NASCAR is returning this Sunday at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina. Despite the fact that there will not be any fans in the stands, it a start to bring back racing to the track:

    Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0400 (early morning) and I'm off to West Point in a few. Got home from work yesterday and did some required maintenance on Beth's Subaru. The battery needed some love and care as the negative terminal was loose and a good cleaning was in order. All fixed up and ready to roll again. Have a great day everyone and remember to be safe out there........ 👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day". In two weeks, the senior class (Firsties) will return to West Point in preparation for their graduation on the 13th of June with the President as the guest speaker. There's a lot that has to get done before the 13th for sure, i.e., medical testing, shipping of household goods to their next assignment, etc. There are strict guidelines in place as far as social distancing goes, feeding schedules and parade practicing for the ceremony itself. Time will fly by and the next thing we know our Commander-in-Chief will be landing his helicopter on the parade field for the graduation commencement. Anyway, enjoy your day all and smoke a favorite or two or........ 🍻

    Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's looking like we have a couple of day of sunny weather. Planning on smoking a cigar after work out back as we'll be firing up the grill to enjoy sausage and peppers for dinner. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there....... 👍

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a good weekend over all: Friday evening, she made one of our favorites, shrimp diablo with muscles; Saturday, I was on shift until 1100 (11 am) and then we went shopping to the vegetable market as well as to Lowe's to get mulch, weed & feed, and other garden stuff; yesterday, we planted our vegetables out back and our flowers out front. In the afternoon, I enjoyed 3 nice cigars accompanied by a few cold beers while barbecuing some wings and stuffed jalapenos on the grill. Today, they are calling for a couple of rain showers which will work out perfect as I have to spread the weed & feed on the lawn. Enjoy your week all and remember to check in on a neighbor to see if they need anything........ 🤓

    Goooood morning fellow Ward B'ers. A sunny, but chilly day in the 'Burgh. I was planning on attending a virtual herf (outside) on Saturday afternoon, but the temps are going to be quite low, so I may have to stay inside and build a fire and blow smoke up the chimney!

    Enjoy the day and be safe.

    Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's looking like we'll have a nice sunny day here in the Hudson Valley with temps in the mid 60s. I'm heading into West Point in a few as we have another busy one as we're briefing a 4 Star General from Fort Bragg about the current situation and all. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy it as well...... 👍
