Good morning. Seems like you're not up and at 'em as early now. Is it because there's no bugler playing Reveille?

Brian, I still wake up at 0400, hit the pisser and then lay back to bed for a couple of more ours. It's nice to be retired.......

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be at the Aroma Cigar Room this evening. According to NOAA, we have off and on rain in the forecast through Sunday. Fully understand it's April and all, hopefully May is a little dryer and a bit warmer as well. Enjoy everyone and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL tonight.......

Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and it's an early Saturday morning. Beth and I are going over to Newburgh-Stewart Airport for the Hudson Valley Honor Flight sendoff: https://hvhonorflight.com/. It's always an honor to be there when they get off the busses and see their faces as the US Flags are being waved and the crowd thanking them for their service. Later on today, I'm heading over to Handsome Devil BBQ for their 4th annual cigarbecue:

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day" for everyone working out there. Beth and I went down to New City, NY yesterday to take care of our 5 year TSA PreCheck being that I am retired now and can no longer use my Government CAC. It took us roughly 10 minutes each and we were in and out:

In the afternoon, we did a little yard work and then kicked back while we barbecued a rack of ribs low and slow. I enjoyed a couple of top shelf stogies and a few cold ones as well. I'm starting to like this retirement. Enjoy all.......

Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's a wet Thursday morning here in the Hudson Valley. I got some running around to do this morning: shopping for new tires for the Jeep; hitting the recycling center with empty bottles and cans; lastly, I'll be stopping by Kassel Supply for roughly 200 lbs of white stone: https://kasselsupply.com. Later on this afternoon around 1600 (4 PM), I'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room to enjoy a couple of top shelf stogies and spend time with the fellas. Enjoy your day everyone and we hope to see a few of the local S/BOTL later on........
