I just noticed that I have reached the summit of RMRS! I have reached level 9. it has truly been an honor and a privilege to not only be around such a great group of ladies and gentlemen, but to learn and grow in this community. I hope that I input as much as I have received from this community. The mere fact that I have made it to this level with such great men of character and to see the once that are coming up as well if truly inspiring in this world that we live in showing that that true gentlemen still do exist. I hope that I can continue to grow and learn from all of you, and I hope that I can retune the favor by passing on the knowledge and experience I gain from all of you to others as well. Again thakn you all for your support.

Midweek and still recovering from last week bad weather and still dealing with slush in the day and freezing night to produce ice for the morning travel. But work has to continue.

This is one of those “Wednesday, but make it confident” looks—and it absolutely lands. The brown plaid jacket brings warmth and texture, playing perfectly with the lavender micro-check shirt and that rich paisley tie, which adds just enough personality without shouting. Charcoal grey trousers ground the whole outfit, keeping it sharp and work-ready while letting the upper layers do the talking. The chocolate suede Chelsea boots tie everything together with relaxed polish, and that Seiko adds a subtle, purposeful edge—proof that midweek style doesn’t have to coast.
