West Point will be well represented with Cadets and the Army Staff starting with the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Odierno and on down will be there. Well, congrats to the American League for winning last night's MLB All-Star game. At least the A.L. will have home field advantage during this year's World Series.

Safe travels to all that are coming to this year's Quad State Herf and enjoy the weekend to all........ :D

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm back in NY. I spent the past few days right after the Quad State Herf was over in Detroit, MI. I was initially sent out there by the Army to evaluate a scheduled "Active Shooter Exercise" but that changed drastically as the entire Detroit - Warren County area became a flood zone. Major highways are still closed down as we speak and hundreds of cars are stranded / water logged all over the place. We were in Buddy's Restaurant and as we were enjoying our pizza, the flooding came very quick. Within minutes, we were standing in a foot and a half of water in the pizzeria and had to be rescued by the local FD with small boats and such to higher ground. Right outside of the establishment, there was a a 30 year old lady having major problems. We found out later that she didn't make it: Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm back in NY.

Congrats to Jeff Gordon for taking the Checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race in Michigan and to the Yankees for taking 2 out of 3 from the Rays this weekend. I went out yesterday with my wife Beth with the intentions of going to the Newburgh Brewery and having a couple. Instead, we went by the Jeep dealer across the river in Beacon, NY and we ended up trading in my 2 door 09' Jeep Wrangler X for a 14' (Brand New) 4 door Wrangler Sport Unlimited (color - Amp'd). We pick it up this week after they prep it and all and oh yeah, got a great deal as they want to clear out the 14's for the new 15's that are coming in.

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 as we (West Point) had our first "Adverse Weather Conference Call" this morning with the impending weather headed our way. After all of the key players weighing in, it is determined that West Point is "Code Red" all day:

http://www.westpoint.army.mil/pages/viewroads.aspx

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 (stated 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.

"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.


Watch Command message on snow policy here.
NOAA is still predicting 8" to 10" in our area, should be a great way to start this Thanksgiving holiday. Be safe out there everyone and give thanks and enjoy........ :cl

I'm going to head over to Hudson Valley Cigar shop in a bit and hang out with the fellas and enjoy a couple of primo stogies as it's really too cold to do any work outside. Hope we have some good football games to watch later on today and no run aways. Enjoy the day everyone smoke a favorite or two if you get the chance....... :banger

Well, we sure had some interesting NFL games this weekend and congrats to the NY Rangers for their 3rd win in a row on the road.

Later on today, I'm heading down to Bethesda, MD to spend a few days with my son Jeremy at the new Walter Reed Medical Center. He is between Chemo Therapy sessions so I thought it would be nice for to see another friendly face. I'll let you all know how he is doing once I get home. Enjoy the week everyone and stay warm........ :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, about to have some coffee down here at the new Walter Reed Military Medical Center. I wanted to let everyone know Jeremy is doing good as expected and in great spirits. He has his next 3 day session of chemo stating Tuesday. After that, a 3 week break and they'll transfer him up to the Pennsylvania Cancer Center in Philadelphia where they will start proton radiation to the specific location. As they say, one day at a time here and he'll be back to normal before we know it. Anyway, enjoy your day and smoke em' if you get the chance........ :)

Good spirits is more than half the battle. At least that is what my oncologist told me when I was going through this. If you or he needs someone to speak to that has recently been through this feel free to PM and I will send my contact details. Praying for you guys!

Prayers sent, Charlie.

Also before we know it, NASCAR is right around the corner. Enjoy the weekend everyone and smoke a favorite or two or....... :tu

Weather wise, the have now upgraded today's storm to a blizzard with snow possibly totaling 24". Be careful out there and enjoy your week....... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day". Well, the Blizzard of 2015 fizzled out for us here in the Hudson Valley to roughly 3" of snow and mild winds. I'm happy it did as the folks in Long Island, Conneticuit, Rhode Island and the rest of New England got the brunt of it. I see that the Rangers lost last night to the Islanders, let's bounce back fellas with a win now. Hope everyone has a good day and enjoys....... :)

[Stogieman]

The weather guessers are calling for a couple of inches of the white stuff this evening and then another little blast Sunday night into Monday. Today being Thursday, we will be at Hudson Valley Cigars / Schlesinger's Cigar Bar enjoying a couple of tasty cigars and seeing how everyone is doing in the area. Hope all of you are doing good as well, pray for our S/BOTL in New England that got devastated by the recent storm and try and enjoy....... :banger

We had a good time at Schlesinger's last night with a number of the regulars showing up. I see that the NY Rangers lost to the Montreal Canadians 1 - 0, it's time that they bounce back as that's 2 losses in a row. Sunday is the big game in Arizona, I'd love to see the Patriots get upset and loose the game after all the football deflation from the last game. Anyway, hope everyone has a good one and enjoys....... :D

Good morning all, the Killer Beans are on and it's another blistery day here in the Hudson Valley. Shortly, I'm gonna head over to Hudson Valley Cigars to smoke a couple of primo stogies and bring a crock pot of Bavarian Sauerkraut and country ribs that Beth prepared for us. Every Saturday, we have tasty treats to enjoy and this one will sure be spot on. Sports wise, we have a number of NHL games on starting at 1300 (1pm) continuing on into the evening with the NY Rangers game on starting at 1900 (7pm). I hope everyone has a great day, stays warm and enjoys...... :cf1

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Tuesday. Spent the majority of the day outdoors yesterday shoveling and cleaning up the driveway, walks, paths and back patio. Today, I'll be out with the roof rake and pulling the first 10 feet of snow off the top all around the house. Hope everyone is surviving and enjoys a favorite if they get the chance....... :D

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's "Hump Day". I checked out NOAA and they are calling for a couple of inches of snow starting tonight into tomorrow morning. That's not much at all after the blast we had this past weekend. They are calling for another good one coming this Sunday, more to follow. I'm planning on heading down to Delaware tomorrow afternoon and spending a couple of days with Jeremy, I'll update you all when I get back this weekend. Beth and I are stopping by the Newburgh Brewery for "Happy Hour" today and meet up with Sean from Big Guns BBQ for a couple of cold ones, it's always a good time there with Paul and the gang. Anyway, hope you all have a great day and enjoy it as well....... :chr

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee is on and kickin'. We had a good time yesterday at the Newburgh Brewery as the two new releases (bourbon brown ale and a black oyster stout) both tasted great. It was good to see the NY Rangers win last night, hope they keep it up. As I stated yesterday, I'll be heading down to see Jeremy for a couple of days which should be nice. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone and smoke em' if you get the chance....... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's the calm before another storm that is rolling in today. I had a good time for the past couple of days with Jeremy and his wife Christen. He is actually doing well, chemo is over and now he moves onto the radiation treatment this week. Knock on wood, before we know it, he will be back to his ole' self and the tumor will be gone. I hope everyone has a good day and enjoys....... :tu

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 and we have a Code "Red" at West Point until 1200 as a result of the snow, freezing rain and sleet. Well, I see that the NY Rangers lost in OT, hopefully they bounce back and get a win tomorrow night in Toronto. Enjoy your day everyone and be safe out there....... :banger

[Stogieman]

Good morning all, and as always, the coffee is on. I know that New England got hit hard with snow again yesterday, but I'm actually starting to hate snow myself. I went out twice to shovel yesterday and I'll be going out again shortly to clean up the walkways and drive before I head out over the mountain to West Point. As I stated yesterday, the NY Rangers are on tonight starting at 1930 (7:30pm), hopefully they have a good game and come out over Toronto. Enjoy your day everyone and be safe out there........ :)
