Good Morning S / BOTL - 2013

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....... 🦌
 
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....... 👍
 
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...... 🙏
 
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....... :)
 
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........ 🍻

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....... 🇺🇸
 
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........ :)
 
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....... 👍
 
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...... 🍻
 
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. Beth and I had a good day yesterday, got some Christmas shopping done and the tree is up in the living room. I hope everyone has a good day and we see a number of the local S/BOTL tonight...... :)
 
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........ 🍻
 
Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0410 and it's back to work Monday. We had a great weekend overall: spent the day Saturday at the Aroma Cigar Room with the crew saying good by to one of our dear friends that's relocating to Charleston, SC with his wife; yesterday, we spent the day at the Resorts World Catskills https://rwcatskills.com/ with a number of our friends as we attended the Hudson Valley Honor Flight "Lunch of Honor". Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on another win and now have a record of 11 - 1. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys....... :)
 
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...... 🇺🇸

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........ 🍻

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…… 🇺🇸
