Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Yesterday's Daytona 500 was a long one with 2 extended delays due to problems with the track. After it was all over, congrats to Jamie McMurray and the entire Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team. Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the #88 Amp Chevrolet made a final charge and ended up 2nd to make it a good points day.

Not sure what's up for today as of yet, I may have to stop by a local cigar shop and enjoy a primo stogie and see how the fellas are doin'. I hope everyone has a good President's Day and enjoys it as well....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and as always, the coffee is on. We had a good day yesterday up in Kingston, NY visiting Israel and the crew at the Uptown Cigar Company. We made our way over to Lucy's Tacos for lunch which is always a treat for mexican food lovers. This week should go by rather quickly since we only have to work 4 days and and tomorrow is already "Hump Day". I hope everyone has a good day and takes the time to enjoy a favorite cigar or two or....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee is brewin'. There's not much going on today except that the Olympics are in full stride, and it's already "Hump Day" today. I hope everyone has a good one and enjoys....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Yesterday the pitchers and catchers arrived at Spring Training so it's only a little time now that we start to see some baseball again. Don't get me wrong, I love the Winter Olympics and you know that I'm a huge NASCAR fan, but baseball is the American pass time as we know. Anyway, today being Thursday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson valley Cigars this evening enjoying primo stogies and catching up on this weeks happenings. If you're in the area and have the time, stop on by and join in on the fun. Either way, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys it as well....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all, the coffee is on and a big T.G.I.F. We had a good time last night with a packed house at Sclesinger's / Hudson valley Cigars. You can feel the excitement in the air about next week's Quad State Herf and also the planning of CigarFest 2010. I've been working on the QSH now since December and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway, this weekend has a lot going on, we have NASCAR, Olympics and a few other sports to watch on the TV. Also, my brother-in-law Kenny is retiring from the U.S. Mint here at West Point and the family is throuwing him a big retirement party Saturday evening. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys a few of their favorites through out it....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair™ Espresso is brewin'. I got home yesterday from work to a stack of boxes from all over the world and I'll have to tell you, I was blown away! The support we have this year for next week's Quad State Herf is amazing. The "Cause" we are all getting together for is the best (Wounded Warriors) and I know it's going to be an incredible time. Anyway, I hope everyone has a super Saturday and enjoys....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and as always, the coffee is on. We had a great time last night at my brother-in-laws surprise retirement party. There were over 100 guests which included fammily, friends past and present co-workers and he is loved by all. Today we have more of the Winter Olympics on as well as the NASCAR Race from Fontana, CA which starts at 1500(3pm). I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys it as well....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin' as always. Yesterday between the NASCAR race from Cali to the Olympics on a couple of different channels, the day was packed with non-stop action. Congrats to Jimmie Johnson for winning the Auto Club 500 as well as all the U.S. Olympians for winning their medals yesterday. Well, we are 5 days from the Quad State Herf and I can hardly contain myself. I am checking out the weather for the week and we have light flurriers off and on through out it. Here is what NOAA has so far and I'm sure it will change as the weathere guessers have been off lately:

I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys a few of your favorites through out it...... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on since 0330(3:30am) since we had a scheduled "Adverse Weather Condition Conference Call" at 0400(4am). The roads are pretty crappy right now especially on the mountain that a majority of us come over to get to West Point. Hopefully the road crews get out there and salt / sand the pavement to lower the number of fender benders that will occur today. Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe one and enjoy the day as much as possible...... :) :thumbs: :cool:

Oh yeah, we are 3 days and a wake up from the Quad State Herf!!!
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on since 0330(3:30am) again since we had another scheduled "Adverse Weather Condition Conference Call" at 0400(4am). This time, we have a "Code Red" until 0930(9:30am) and then "Code White" for the remainder of the day:

USMA Snow Policy (Non-emergency positions)

"WEST POINT IS CODE WHITE UNTIL (stated time, or, all day)." The West Point Snow Policy is in effect until the stated time, or all day. Employees, who might be prevented from reporting to work, should be granted annual leave, accrued compensatory time or LWOP if they prefer. Employees still need to contact their supervisor for approval. Specific procedures for requesting leave in these circumstances are at the discretion of each activity.

"WEST POINT IS CODE RED UNTIL (slated time)" Employees should not report until the announcement time. Supervisors will excuse absences without charge to leave for all employees affected whether or not leave was previously approved. Employees who do not report for work by the announced time will be charged leave for the remainder of their absence if it was properly requested and approved.

http://www.westpoint.edu/WeatherConditions/

Tomorrow, they are predicting another 10 to 15 inches of snow which will most likely shut West Point down for the day and I was already planning on taking Friday off to get the goodie bags and stuff together for the Quad State Herf. I hope everyone has a good day and if your out there in this wintery mix, please be careful and watch out for the other guy as well...... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on since 0330(3:30am). As a result of this morning's weather call and the predictions of our weather guessers, West Point is a "Code Red" all day.

"WEST POINT IS CODE RED ALL DAY." Only employees in emergency positions should report to work. Employees in non-emergency positions should not report to work until their next regularly scheduled workday.

As far as the Quad State Herf goes, I have posted the same message on the actaul Herf thread: I have talked with the owner of the Meadowbrook and we are on no matter what. "No amount of snow, sleet, or rain will pull me away from this thing". There are already S/BOTL traveling in this direction and I wish you the safest traveling possible. The same goes for everyone tomorrow and Saturday as well. Give yourselves a little more time and make it to the event safely. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys........ :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Well, the Quad State Herf was another success even though it didn't go off as initially planned. We took the worst of things and made the best out of it. Thanks to everyone for coming out and for being part of history. There are still thousands of homes without power since Thursday and the roofers got the snow off my home yesterday taking the weight off it it allowing us back it. It's time now to recover and close this out as another successful fund raiser for the Warrior Transition Unit (Wounded Warriors). I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys...... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Charlie, I will be home tomorrow, call me if you need any help with anything like moving stuff around your house...I could be up there by 9:00 AM.
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Thanks for the offer Ralph but we are all situated with everything. The insurance adjuster went up in the attick / crawl space and did say that there is some structual damage that they have to repair / upgrade as these condos were built back in the early 70's. Anyway, weather wise, the weather guessers are calling for no more that an inch or two between tonight and tomorrow and that's it for a while:

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=West+Point&state=NY&site=OKX&textField1=41.3623&textField2=-74.0273

I think we've see the one major storm of the year and I hope that's it for the decade as well. I hope everyone that was affected by it is recovering and getting back to the normal day to day operations. Enjoy the day and relax...... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. There's not to much going on right now except for the winter clean up of last weeks major snow storm. The NHL is back on and spring training down in Florida and Arizona is on as well. I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and enjoys....... :) :thumbs: :cool:

Yeah! I enjoyed the olympics, but glad the NHL is back in action...the Rangers won last night!!!
 
Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair™ Espresso is on. Well, with Spring Training now in full action, it was good to see the Yankees on the TV yesterday win over the Pirates 6 to 3. We are exactly 31 day from Opening Day which means that the spring is near and we can put this nasty winter behind us. Today being Thusday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars this evening enjoying primo stogies and talking about this past Saturday's Quad State Herf. As I informed Sean (BigMacFU) earlier, we raised $9450 of which $630 was over-head, so we cleared $8820. When I informed the Wounded Warrior folks, they were totally blown away. It makes me feel so good to be able to do this and hopefully next year we do it in the late summertime instead. I hope everyone has a great day and gets to enjoy a favorite cigar or two as well....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
 
Hey Charlie, since the pages are all mixed up over at CW I'll say good mornin' over here. Great news about the herf!!!
 
Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. We had a good time at Schlesinger's last night with the normal Thursday night crowd along with with a few new faces. We enjoyed watching the Rangers vs. Pennguins hockey game while smoking a few primo ceegars. This morning Bill (Bravo Lima) and I will be presenting the Warrior Transition Unit (WTU) the monies we raised last Saturday at the QSH. It will be a proud moment as these guys mean a lot to me as they do to a lot of you. This weekend is filled with numerous sports to enjoy ranging from NASCAR, NHL, NBA and preseason MBL. I hope everyone has a relaxing one filled with a few of your favorites through out it....... :) :thumbs: :cool:
