Today on the job site I got to use some of my old skill sets from my days of landscaping. Some of the gents on here know but to the newer ones , I have an environmental degree in parks/recreation wildlife. Landscaping was one of the many skill sets I learned from my degree. Also I use to be on the grounds crew/turf maintence for muskingum university. Next I was an environmental technician for our local hospital and pharmacy. And yes I have even owned my own mowing/landscaping company years ago. Old skill sets are like riding a bike, you have them and doing forget them and sometimes it’s good to dig them out and use them to keep from getting rusty lol

Today my sartorial AI app decided to have me wear my Scottish tie. Given the atypical colors, I have never worn this tie. However, after having an Americana themed outfit yesterday, having one centered on my clan's colors and pattern seemed appropriate. As I have previously noted, my family is from everywhere in Europe. Almost no one married another person of the same country heritage (and I am not exception). Whereas most of my family is bonkers over the Irish ancestry we have, my love of Scotland pushes me to revel in this background. I am McDougall of the Clan McDougall.

This single-breasted 2-button jacket features notched lapels, four brown horn wrist buttons, and two rear vents for ease of movement. The full gray/brown lining ensures clean drape, while the slash chest pocket and inner business card pocket provide practical functionality. The cashmere material adds warmth and texture that reads beautifully on video conference cameras—perfect for today's back-to-back VCs. • Shirt — DS-045 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT slim-fit blue non-iron twill dress shirt in a sophisticated Glenn check pattern—pale blue with white and navy intersecting lines. French cuffs with square edges demand executive cufflinks, while the semi-spread collar (5" spread, 2.8" height) provides ideal framing for today's wool tie. The cotton twill construction offers soft hand with excellent stitch density (5/5), and the non-iron finish keeps you crisp through hours of video conferences. ⭐ Tuesday Rule selection—among the items with least cost-per-wear reduction. • Undershirt — US-002 (Ralph Lauren Polo): A white cotton crew neck undershirt in XL—the reliable foundation beneath the Glenn check shirt. The classic Polo quality ensures no show-through beneath the medium-opacity dress shirt while providing all-day comfort.
