Good morning everyone and as always, the coffee is on. I had a great day yesterday at work talking with all the great folks from the Warrior Transition Unit that had a chance to attend this past Saturday's Quad State Herf IV. They wanted me to let you all know that they had a great time and that they are indebted to you all. The Commander of the unit, Captain Edwards said that he loved the comaraderie and will be joining us on Thursday evenings. Anyway, I hope all of you have a good day and get to smoke a favorite cigar if the time allows it.........
![]() Oh yeah, 3 days till pitchers and catchers report!!!!

Good morning all, the coffee is brewing and it looks like bagels are on this morning's breakfast menu. There's not much going on today except for NASCAR practicing today down in Daytona and a few basketball games. Pitchers and catchers report in 2 days and A-Rod is still making excuses why he took the steroids. I hope everyone has a super "Hump Day" and enjoys a favorite or two or........

Good morning all, the joe is brewin' and today's the last working day for me as I'm taking off tomorrow to enjoy a 4 day weekend. Well today, we have the two Gatorade Duel 150 qualifying races for Sunday's Daytona 500 that start at 1400 (2pm) on Speed channel. To better explain what the Duel races are about and the line ups, look here:
http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/cu...y-agendas//P1/ Besides that, we are 1 day from pitchers and catchers showing up and that means that Spring Training is right around the corner. Being that today is Thursday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars enjoying a couple of primo sticks and I'm sure that last Saturday's Quad State Herf IV will be the main topic. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys....... ![]()

Good morning everyone and as always, the coffee is on. It was a good day yesterday and we had a superb dinner at the Black Forest Mill. I had one of the specials, the SweineHaxen (roasted pig knuckles) over a bed of sauerkraut with potatoe dumpling on the side. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:
http://ab.id.au/gallery/v/travel/ukd..._2332.jpg.html Add a couple of cold german tap beers and it was a meal fit for a king. Afterwards, we came home and I watched the NASCAR truck race which was a good one and Todd Bodine won it now 2 years in a row back to back. Today, is another race in Daytona, the Nationwide Series (the old Busch series) and then tomorrow is the Daytona 500 with all the big boys racin'. Beth and I have the house warming party to attend so hopefully my nephews show up and we'll enjoy a cigar on the front porch as the ladies sit around talk in the living room. Anyway, I hope all of you have a great day and enjoy a favorite or two or........ ![]()

Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair Espesso is on. http://www.killerbeans.com/site/home.html
Well, yesterday's Daytona 500 was a little bit of a let down with a rain shortened finish giving Matt Kenseth in the #17 the win by default. It was a good race up to that point and when the NASCAR officials called it, we were all saying, "what the f**k". Oh well, there's always next week where we'll find the racers in Fontana, CA. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great President's Day and enjoys the day off (hopefully)........ ![]()

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, it's back to work after a nice 4 day weekend. A few more weeks of this winter weather and then hopefully spring will start to come our way. Not sure about you all but I'm tired of the cold and wish we had some nice 70 degree temps where you can sit out and smoke a favorite ceegar and BBQ at the same time. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys a few of your favorites through out it.......

Good morning everyone and Happy Hump Day. The coffee is on and it looks like bagels are on this morning's breakfast menu. I see that the MLB players are showing up for Spring Training and the big news of course is A-Rod admitting that he took the steroids while he was a Texas Ranger:
http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/...=.jsp&c_id=nyy Not sure what to think of it all, I just hope the press doesn't make a big thing of it and lets the guys concentrate on the game it self. The weather guessers are calling for a mixture of rain & snow today and I'd rather see the latter as it's gets a little slick out there when the rain decides to freeze up and turn into a sheet of ice: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...ield2=-74.0273 Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day, drives safely and enjoy a favorite ceegar if the time permits........ ![]()

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. Well, the snow / rain mixture tried it's hardest to stick around but nothing came of it. Thank god as I'm at that point in the winter wher I'm ready for spring and done with all the shoveling and cleaning off of the cars and such. Anyway, today being Thursday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars this evening enjoying a favorite stogie or two and a beverage as well. If your in the area and have the time, stop on by and join in on the fun. If your not close, I hope you have a great time as well and enjoy.......

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and TGIF!!!! This morning we have a Pandemic Flu Exercise at West Point starting at 0600 so I have to get going soon if I want to be on time. It's definitely a real world possibilty and a great training event / eye opener for the community. I just hate to go in to the Emergency Operations Center so early as it makes the day a long one. As far as last night, we had a good time at Schlesingers with the usual Thursday night group (LouieD, uptown_isy, Kayakin' Dan, rrick57, Mr. Martini, etc.) in full force. We had a good 25 S / BOTL there enjoying primo sticks and talkin' world news. Anyway, I hope all of you have a great weekend and get to enjoy a few of your favorites........

Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair Espresso coutesy of Mr. Jerry is on. Today, roughly a dozen of us locals that hang out at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars will be taking a road trip up to Kingston, NY to spend the day with Israel (uptown_isy) at his shop at the Uptown Cigar Company.
http://www.uptowncigar.com/ It should be a great afternoon as the weather looks good; Sunny with a high near 37 degrees: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...ield2=-74.0273 Tonight, I'll be watching the NASCAR Nationwide series from Fontana, CA relaxing on the sofa and hopefully it's another action packed race as it was last week in Daytona. I hope everyone has a super Saturday and enjoys it as well........ ![]()

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin' as always. Well we all had a great time up at Israel's (uptown_isy) shop yesterday (Uptown Cigar Company). We smoke some great cigars from the islands, enjoy a few special bottles (variety of port & red wines, silngle malt scotch, variety of microbrew beers), all sorts of coffees, pan after pan of shrimps and then a never ending surplus of steamed clams. About 14 of us went up in total and Isy, Diane, Michelle and the rest of the regulars made us feel very welcome. Thank you all for the day and I'm sure that we'll be up again soon. When I got home, I watched the NASCAR Nationwide series race and Kyle Busch won it and made history to be the 1st ever driver to win two different series races in the same day. He won the NASCAR Camping World Series truck race earlier in the day. I'm not a fan of Busch but congrats goes out to him and the entire Joe Gibbs racing team for making history. Well today is the big boys day, the NASCAR Sprint Cup series racing at 1700 (5pm) EST and I hope Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the #88 Amp / National Guard car does a good job today. It's only the 2nd race of the season but as everyone knows, they all count points wise to be the champ at the end of the season. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and relaxes with a good smoke and a great meal.......

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, yesterday's race was a long one and Matt Kenseth won it making it two in a row after winning by default last week at Daytona. Next week they'll be in Las Vegas with a start time of 1530 (3:30pm) EST:
http://www.nascar.com/races/tracks/las/index.html Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week and you get to enjoy a few of your favorites along the way....... ![]()

Good morning all and a big "Happy Hump Day" greeting as well as Ash Wednesday. I hope everyone had a good Fat Tuesday in preperation to this year's Lent season. There's not much going on today, the Yankees have thier pre-season opener today against the Blue Jays 1305 (1:05pm) and A-Rod will most likely be the big talk of the game to see how he produces with all the current pressures as of late. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys........
![]() Oh yeah, the coffee is on!!!!!
