Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time last night at Aroma, the place was packed and the regulars were out. This weekend, the NASCAR drivers are in Austin, TX; the NHL and NBA are battling it out; the MLB has one week left of Spring Training; and the NCAA men's and women's basketball championships are in full swing. Have a great weekend all and enjoy...... :chr

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's my last time to say that's it's back to work Monday and all. We had a good good weekend: spent Saturday at Aroma with the fellas and then dinner with Beth at home; yesterday after doing some shopping, we relaxed out back with a few cold ones and had some relatives stop over from Spearfish, SD. Enjoy your week everyone and remember to be safe out there....... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Congrats, and tomorrow afternoon, visualize yourself sliding down the brontosaurus tail and landing in your car, one last time, maybe yelling "Yabba dabba DOO!" at the same time. Or did you already do that after the shindig yesterday?

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Congratulations on your retirement, Charlie! :wo

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and today is my final day to go into work. I don't have much to do, go to the Personnel Office for the last time and turn in my access badge, have my out-processing survey and pack up a few final things in my old office. We had a good time last night at Aroma, watched the Yankees win 5 - 4 after being down 4 - 0 which is always nice on Opening Day. Have a great Easter weekend everyone and enjoy........ :D

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Happy Easter, Charlie.

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:

https://www.tsa.gov/precheck

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....... :chr

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.
