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 everyone, the coffee has been on for a while now and it's Friday! A number of us went over to Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars as they opened up their outside seating yesterday. It was good seeing the local S/BOTL and it's great that things are starting to get back to normalcy. Newburgh Brewing also put out that they'll have outside table area starting this evening as well:

We had a great weekend overall: West Point Graduation went off without a hitch (I actually got to drive in the convoy - press corps); smoke a couple of top shelf stogies; found a new brewery in Sugarloaf, NY yesterday; finished up the weekend in Newburgh at the waterfront and a stop at the brewery. Hopefully it's a quiet week and things start to get back to normal. Enjoy everyone and continue to be safe out there....... :)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and it's already "Hump Day". Ordered a new man cave for the backyard yesterday, replacing the old 8' x 12' shed (been there for probably 20+ years) with a new 10' x 16' model from Stoltzfus Structures, LLC (Amish built out of PA): https://www.mysheds.com/
They're custom built and take an average 6 weeks to done and delivered depending what features you want. Should be nice when it arrives and I know that we'll have years of smoking enjoyment as well. Anyway, enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there...... :cf1

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be heading over to Hudson Valley Cigars this evening.

It's nice to see things are starting to get back to normal, just taking it slow to ensure that there's not a second round ove the COVID hit the area. Enjoy all....... :chr

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time at Schlesinger's last night as a number of the regulars were there enjoying cigars and a couple of drinks. We have a BBQ planned for today at work to around 1200 (noon). All the folks that have been working non-stop in the EOC said it was time to fire up the grill, so were having a pot luck luncheon. We're having hot dogs, hamburgers, kielbasa, ribs, venison steaks, rice and beans, potato and macaroni salads, deserts of all sorts, etc. We'll have 25+ attending and I'm sure that guests will show up as we have plenty of food. Sports wise this weekend, the NASCAR drivers are in Talladega, AL which is always a fun race to watch as it's the largest track on the circuit. Anyway, enjoy your weekend everyone and hope you get to relax as well....... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. It was a great weekend starting with our BBQ at work on Friday. Saturday morning, I headed over to Plum Point Park and met a couple of the guys from the cigar shop to enjoy a couple of stogies:

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. It's going to be a short week as Uncle Sam is giving us Friday off for the 4th of July weekend celebration. Unfortunately, not to many towns are having parades, festivities or fireworks this year. A year to remember and tell our grand kids about. It was a good weekend for NASCAR, there was racing all day yesterday and part of Saturday (rain postponed one race which ran yesterday morning). Anyway, enjoy your week all and be safe out there........ :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". We actually have tomorrow left to work and then we have a 3 day weekend.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday after a relaxing weekend filled with BBQ, cigars and adult beverages. The 4th of July was very different this year, no parades or fireworks except for the surrounding neighbors that lit of bottle rockets and stuff. Yesterday, I found out a dear friend passed away yesterday loosing her battle with cancer. Irma was a big supporter year after year of our Quad State Herf and she will be deeply missed. Until we meet again sister, keep those cigars burning in heaven. Enjoy all....... :)

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Sorry for your loss, brother. My sympathies.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Condolences...The worst thing about getting older and (sometimes) wiser is when people you care about around you pass away. Its a thought that never really comes to mind in your 20's or 30's.

The mark of someone's life however is in how they are remembered. When you think of that person and it makes you smile they have lived a good life. That being said all I have left to say is **** cancer...:(

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

So sorry for your loss, Charlie.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0400 and it's looking like it'll be another hot one here in the Hudson Valley. Well, we all knew it would eventually happen but the MLB postponed a couple of games last night because of COVID-19. I'm sure this won't be the last either and other sports will do the same until they find a cure / vaccine for this virus. Anyway, enjoy all and be safe out there....... :chr
