Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's a brisk Sunday morning as we speak. The NASCAR drivers will qualify for next Sunday's Daytona 500 today at noon as well as race the Advanced Auto Parts Clash (the previous season's pole position winners): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Auto_Parts_Clash at 1500 (3pm). I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys....... :banger

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Blackhawks go for their 7th straight victory this afternoon, trying to tease me and get back into the wild card conversation. The bastards! :lr

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. We had a great day yesterday with family and friends at West Point celebrating my niece and nephew's conformation festivities. Came home later on and watched the Clash which was rain shorten to give Jimmie Johnson the win. We have winter snow storm heading our way tomorrow which is calling for 3 to 5 inches of the white stuff.

Only problem is that Beth and I are suppose to be flying out tomorrow evening of Newburgh Stewart Airport at 2000 (8pm) down to Fort Lauderdale for the week. We're going to the Great Smoke cigar event on Saturday at the Southern Florida Fair Grounds along with a couple of pre-events on Thursday and Friday. We're waiting on the word from Jet Blue to lift the rescheduling fees to re-book for Wednesday. Fingers crossed and all. Anyway, have a great week everyone and enjoy....... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on for a while now and it's beginning to snow here in the Hudson Valley. We were lucky enough to reschedule our flights for tomorrow, jetBlue waive change/cancel fees and fare differences for customers traveling Tuesday, February 12, 2019.

https://www.jetblue.com/JetblueAlert...al_travelalert

This will give us plenty of time to clear the drive and walk ways today as well as pack and get to the airport tomorrow. Enjoy your day all and remember to be safe out there......... :pi

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's President's Day. Beth and I got home late last night and we had a great time in Florida. The Great Smoke was an excellent cigar event, a must for all cigar enthusiasts. While in Florida, we went to the West Palm Zoo, took a bus/boat tour on the DivaDuck: https://divaduck.com/. Had some great meals both in Boynton Beach and in West Palm. Stopped in a number of establishments for adult beverages and visited both West Palm & Boynton Beach Smoke Inn cigar lounges. All in all, it was a great 5 days. We got to watch the Daytona 500 on the flight home (Jetblue), congrats to Denny Hamlin for taking the checkered flag. Enjoy your week everyone........ :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday after being off for a week. Finished unpacking yesterday, shoveled the drive and walkways (snow and ice covered), picked up the window screens (re-screened and they look great), and then went to the monthly American Legion meeting in New Windsor. I didn't get a chance to post the Wings for Warriors - Quad State Herf 14 thread like I wanted to, rest assured it'll get done this week. The date will be the 3rd of August and the venue will be Lake Frederick as it's been for the past few years. Enjoy your day and remember to be safe out there........ :pi

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Well, it looks like we're getting another round of snow / sleet / rain mixture here in the Hudson Valley starting this afternoon in through the night according to NOAA:

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0400 as we had another Adverse Weather Conference Call early this morning. We had frozen rain all night and the temps won't go above freezing until after 0800 (8am). The driveway is a sheet of ice and I'll be going out shortly to try and scrape it up and put down some salt. We'll be heading over to Hudson Valley Cigars / Schlesinger's Cigar Bar this evening to enjoy a stogie or two and see how all the local S/BOTL are doing. As a side note, the Quad State Herf sold out in less than a day, the Stand By List has been started. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there........ :ss

We have a small snow storm coming through the Hudson Valley tomorrow evening with prediction of 3 to 5 inches. I can't wait for the Spring to arrive as I'm getting tired of this stuff. Anyway, enjoy all........ :cf1

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
