Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. The Yankees are back at it tonight starting at 1937 (7:37 PM) with Nestor Cortes pitching and hopefully the bats stay hot as well. They are calling for heavy rains this evening, so keep your fingers crossed that they'll get the game in. Anyway, enjoy all and stay safe out there....... :ss

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. We worked 12 hours this past Saturday in support of the Army Football vs. Colgate game at West Point (Army won 42 - 17). The Yankees and Guardians are tied 2 games a piece and will play tonight in the Bronx to see who advances to the next round. The Eagles beat the Cowboys last night 26 - 17 giving them a 6 - 0 record. Congrats to Joey Logano for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and advancing him to the final 4 in the championship. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy...... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Another early morning at West Point as we continue to observe the unvaccinated Garrison employees self test for COVID-19. It's a requirement by the Department of Army when we are either at a medium or high COVID rate for our county. Hopefully the numbers drop this Friday as the case / hospital percentages are reported every Thursday evening. Have a great day all and enjoy....... :chr

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0400 as today is a mirror image of yesterday. The only difference is that this evening we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room and the weather is a little nicer. Early morning COVID testing and then our first MS Teams meeting is at 1000 (10 AM) with our West Point Superintendent (3 Star General). I hope everyone has a great day and we get to see some of the local S/BOTL tonight. Enjoy....... :ss

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma, a number of the regulars were out as well as a few ole' faces we haven't seen in a while. It's looking like we'll have a nice Fall weekend either wise according to NOAA:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...4#.Y1ufEh0pCi4

We're planning on doing some yard work tomorrow and then relax out back with a fire pit and put on a rack of ribs on the grill low and slow. Sports wise, the NASCAR drivers are in Martinsville, VA this weekend; there's plenty of NHL, NFL and college football to keep you busy. Anyway, enjoy all and I hope you get to smoke a favorite or two or........ :D

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's back to work Monday. We had a great weekend overall: got all the yard work done on Saturday and then we relaxed out back (oh yeah, the rack of ribs came out great); yesterday, Beth and I enjoyed having brunch at Magnanini Winery (outdoors with live music):

https://magwine.com/

Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on the win yesterday and now their record is 7 - 0. Also a congrats goes out the Christopher Bell for taking the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race and being one of four in next week's final race of the season to see who is crowned this year's champion. Have a great week everyone and enjoy tonight's Halloween festivities...... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's a wet Tuesday morning here in the Hudson Valley. There's not much going on today except for the scheduled meeting we have planned and all. Halloween is in the books for 2022, we had a lot of kids stop by trick or treating and we even had a neighbor stop by with cold beers. Enjoy all and stay safe out there....... :pi

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". Being that it's almost time to vote, get out there and hit up your local voting station and make a change. We have early voting here in the Hudson Valley and I'll be stopping by the local ambulance service building this afternoon and doing my part. Enjoy everyone and hope you have a great day....... :banger

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY this evening. I see that the World Series is tied up 2 games a piece, I'm not really following it being that the Yankees got eliminated, hopefully they go 7 games and make it worth it for all of their fans. Enjoy all and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL tonight...... :ss

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time at Aroma last night, the usual suspects were out enjoying top shelf stogies and all. Congrats to the Eagles on their win last night (it was ugly but still a win at the end) and now they have an 8 - 0 record this season. I see that Phillies lost last night, the Astros up now 3 games to 2. They're heading back to Houston and the World Series will be decided this weekend. Also this weekend, all three NASCAR series (Camping World Truck, Xfinity, and Cup) will race for the Championship in Phoenix, AZ; NHL; college and NFL football. Enjoy everyone....... :D

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday. We had a relaxing weekend over all starting with going out to dinner Friday evening and then going to see a local Play with our niece in the cast; Saturday, I went to the Aroma Cigar Room in the morning and then relaxed out back at home in the afternoon grilling wings; yesterday, we went to the American Legion in New Windsor, NY for their annual gala with 300+ others and had a great time. Congrats to Joey Logano for being crowned the 2022 NASCAR Cup Champion, it was a great race over all as well. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy....... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's another early morning here at West Point. We're back to testing the unvaccinated Garrison employees today and tomorrow starting at 0700 in the EOC. Orange County is back in a "High" status which means testing twice a week within a 48 hour period. One good thing about it is that we get off early which is always nice especially during daylight savings time. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and remembers to be safe out there....... :)

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's already "Hump Day". Today is a mirror of yesterday as we're back at West Point early testing again. Just like yesterday, early in equals early out. Have a great day all and enjoy....... :cf1

Enjoy everyone and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL this evening....... :ss

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. We had a great weekend starting off with Spending the day on Friday with my brothers and sisters in Arms on Veterans Day; Saturday, Beth and I raked the yard of all the leaves and then relaxed out back with a few cold ones; finished off yesterday at the Aroma Cigar Room with a packed house as we had a send off brunch for one of our dear brothers who is relocating to Charleston, SC with his wife. The Philadelphia Eagles will be taking on the Washington Commanders this evening and hopefully the Birds end up 9 - 0. Enjoy your week all and remember to be safe out there....... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". We had our first snow fall of the season last night. It was a good coating and I have a good felling that we'll get a lot more of the white stuff this winter. It'll help out the hunters as well as Big Game Season starts this Saturday up here in New York. I hope all of you have a great day and enjoy....... :cf1

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's currently a brisk 32 degrees here in the Hudson Valley:

This evening instead of going to the Aroma Cigar Room as we normally do on Thursday night, a few of us are going out to dinner to Vesuvio's Italian Restaurant in Newburgh, NY: https://vesuviosristorante.com
We haven't gone in there in years and a number of us have been talking about it for a while. Should be a good time, I'll let you all know tomorrow how it was. Enjoy everyone and stay warm and all....... :chr

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We all enjoyed the food and all at Vesuvio's, top notch. As we were finishing up, I received a phone call from one of Beth's nieces' that her younger brother had just passed away which devastated her. We rush to the hospital and spent a number of hours there with family and a priest. Her brother Michael drove himself to the hospital early in the morning complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. As the nurses were helping him to the bathroom, Michael turned blue and passed away. God rest his sole...... 🙏

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Sorry for your loss, and my condolences to the family and friends.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

So sorry for your loss, Charlie.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday already. We worked the Army Football game Saturday versus UCONN which the Army team won 34 - 17. Yesterday, we stayed home after going to the grocery store and watched football and witnessed the wildest finish this year. The NE Patriots and the NY Jets were 3 - 3 for almost the entire game until the Patriots ran a punt back for a touchdown with 5 seconds left in the game. Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on their late game win to go 9 and 1. This week will be a short work week with Thanksgiving and all. We'll be going to the Aroma Cigar Room on Tuesday as they are having a membership Thanksgiving dinner along with a Room 101 cigar event as well. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys....... :)

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's a bit nippy outside as the current temperature is 30°F according to NOAA:

As I stated yesterday, we'll be going to the Aroma Cigar Room this evening for their members Thanksgiving dinner along with a Cut & Light Room 101 cigar event. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy as well........ 🍻

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 as always and it's Hump Day and the last working day for the week. We had a great time at Aroma last night as the place was jammed packed with friends coming in from all over. I hope everyone an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. Please remember our Service Members that can't be home during these holidays....... 🇺🇸

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday after an enjoyable 4 day weekend. To celebrate Thanksgiving, we went around the corner to our dear friends home, Eric and Maggie Reder. Eric graduated West Point in 2013 and we were his sponsors while he was a Cadet. Now they are back here and he is a Major in the US Army and teaches math here at the Academy. Friday, Beth and I relaxed all day and watched television shows that we DVRd. Saturday, I went and spent the day at the Aroma Cigar Room with the guys and then yesterday, we put out some of the Christmas lights outdoors and stuff. Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on another win last night giving them a 10 - 1 record. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy........ :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's another early morning here at West Point as the current community COVID-19 status is back to "Medium". The Department of Defense (DoD) mandates that if your local County status is medium or high, you will test your unvaccinated personnel twice a week until the County status drops to low. On the bright side, early into work means early out. Anyway, enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there....... 👍

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

I'm sorry for your loss, Charlie.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". I took the day off of work today as I have use-or-lose vacation days (we're authorized to carry 240 hours over a year), I have to take 8 days off by the end of the year not counting the already scheduled holiday days we get. Beth and I will do some holiday shopping and then put the Christmas Tree up later on this afternoon. Congrats to the USA Soccer Team on beating Iran yesterday 1 - 0 and advancing to the next round of the World Cup. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy...... :cf1

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room this evening smoking top shelf stogies and all.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a good evening at Aroma, a number of the regulars were out and enjoying primo stogies and all. Congrats to the Buffalo Bills for beating the New England Patriots last night. Even though I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I still root for the New York teams to win. Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy a favorite or two or........ :D

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's back to work Monday.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". We're getting ready for this Saturday's big football game in Philadelphia where Army will beat Navy this year. We'll be heading down there Friday morning as the festivities start early. I'll be at the coin toss escorting a number of Medal of Honor recipients which is always my honor. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy...... 🇺🇸

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room this evening. Another busy prep day here at West Point prior to taking off tomorrow for Philadelphia. Last night, the Corps of Cadets (4000+) had their bonfire / prep rally, etc. Today, the marathon team takes off and runs the game ball down to Philly which will arrive Saturday around noon time. Kick off is just after 1500 (3 PM) EST. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys a favorite or two as well........ 🍻

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Charlie, this is a question there may be no answer for, but since a friend stumped me with it and it's sort of in your wheelhouse, here goes:

Since the Army-Navy game is always played at college football season's end, and the CFP playoff teams are announced a week earlier, what would happen if Army or Navy were in contention for one of those top 4 (or in the future, more) slots but their rivalry game hadn't happened yet? Would the playoff picks have to be delayed?

Like I said, this hypothetical is only sort of in your wheelhouse, but maybe the topic has come up in your realm over beers or cigars.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning everyone, coffee at my buddy’s and then we’ll be making our way to Center City Philadelphia. We’ll be meeting up with the Highway Patrol and Medal of Honor recipients. We’ll first stop by the Twins Shoppe for a cigar. We’ll be on the field for the coin toss and then make our way up to the owner’s box to watch the game. Should be a great day enjoyed by all, Go Army, Beat Navy…… 🇺🇸

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Not sure about that, I do know that neither team is a top level team at this point. May take many years to find out.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's back to work Monday here at West Point. We had a great time this past weekend in Philly, congrats to the Army team winning in overtime 20 - 17. Spent the entire weekend with dear friends that I've known for years and love them all. Got home yesterday to watch the Eagles win and giving them a 12 - 1 season record. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys....... :tu
