Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0400 and it's back to work Monday already. A huge congrats to Army beating Navy 15 - 0 this past Saturday even though it was a long day in the EOC (16+ hours):

Next up is Air Force this Saturday here at West Point at 1500 (3 pm) which will determine who will win the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy:

Enjoy your week all and remember to be safe out there.......

Stogieman · 12-15-2020, 04:55 AM

Good morning all, the coffee is on as usual and it's a brisk December morning. I see that NOAA is predicting 10" to 16" inches of snow starting tomorrow afternoon through Thursday morning for the Hudson Valley:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...3#.X9iUYx17mi4

I got the snow blower ready along with shovels in the garage and salt in the bucket to treat the drive and walkways. If you are in the path of the storm, get ready today as tomorrow maybe a little too late. Be safe everyone and enjoy......

Stogieman · 12-16-2020, 05:00 AM

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's already "Hump Day". NOAA's prediction of 16" of snow is staying constant as shown below:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...unit=0&dd=&bw=

I'm heading into West Point for a half day and then tele-working until noon tomorrow. DPW will have their hands full keeping the roads clear on the installation and then they'll attack the parking lots before we head back to work. Enjoy all and be careful out there.......

Stogieman · 12-17-2020, 06:41 AM

Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's still snowing on the breezy Thursday morning. So far, we have a good foot of snow and NOAA said we should get a couple of more inches before it stops. I'm working from home this morning, have a 0900 tel-conference and then I'll fire up the snow blower and clean things up. Hopefully the roads aren't to bad as we are still planning on going to Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars this evening as long as Neil opens the doors. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there.......

Stogieman · 12-18-2020, 04:48 AM

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a good night at Schlesinger's, a number of the regulars were there and we watched the new Tom Hank's movie "Greyhound". Today will be a busy one on West Point as the Air Force arrives and gets unloaded for tomorrow's Army vs. Air Force football game which will determine who wins the Commander-in-Chief's trophy this year. The game will start at 1500 (3 pm) and is being televised on CBS Sports Network:

I hope you all have a great weekend and get to enjoy a favorite or two or.......

Stogieman · 12-19-2020, 06:17 AM

Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on as it's going to be another long day in the EOC. I'm heading to West Point shortly and we go live at 0900 (9 am) and will be there at least 2 hours after the game is over. It's definitely going to be a cold one as it's currently 5°F with a wind chill of -6°F. Kick off is at 1500 (3 pm) and NOAA is predicting it to be 35°F with a Wind Chill of 31°F. Enjoy your day everyone and Go Army....... 🇺🇲

Stogieman · 12-20-2020, 05:53 AM

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....... 🍻

Chainsaw13 · 12-20-2020, 06:45 AM

Good morning, Charlie.

Stogieman · 12-22-2020, 08:25 AM

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...... 🇺🇲

Stogieman · 12-23-2020, 04:50 AM

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on as always and I'm heading into the office for day. Being that tomorrow is Christmas Eve, we're heading to Schlesinger's Hudson Valley Cigars tonight to celebrate the holidays. Have a great day all and I wish you a Happy Festivus for the rest of us..... 🎅

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a great day with your family and friends. Beth and I are staying home, relaxing and watching holiday movies on the couch. Enjoy everyone...... 🎅

Stogieman · 12-28-2020, 07:46 AM

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......

Stogieman · 12-29-2020, 06:18 AM

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's gonna be a mostly sunny day with a high near 36. Wind chill values between 20 and 25. Breezy, with a northwest wind 11 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph according to NOAA:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...3#.X-sbAR17mi4

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......

Stogieman · 12-30-2020, 04:51 AM

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.......

Stogieman · 01-04-2021, 05:03 AM

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.......

Brian D. · 01-04-2021, 08:16 AM

Since you used "cohorts" as some kind of military word, I got to go look that up. Always thought it was kind of a generic term for groups of people who knew each other.

CigarSquid · 01-04-2021, 09:41 AM

Morning gents...

How about that Eagles game... Odd play calling to say the least.

Well, hat tip from me about "cohorts", good one. It goes all the way back to ancient Rome.

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 as always and it's looking like we'll have a few sunny days according to NOAA:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...3#.X_RDJx17mi4

Beth and I barbecue year round and with the current forecast, it's looking good for a while. Enjoy everyone and be safe out there......
