Happy 250th! Let’s continue to celebrate without regard to political leaning and just all be proud Americans! Plenty of other days remain for us to get back to hate… The jacket part of the outfit is for tonight. The suit is a new linen/silk/wool blend for Suitsupply but tailored by my tailor. New Panama hat. And lots of red, white, and blue! Details tomorrow?

Had some work to do on Celtic Cheer. The sewn connection popped on my last sail at the clew of my Genoa ( point of front sail tore loose) during a robust sail with my wife the other day. I have it loaded in the truck to get repaired next week at my sailmaker’s shop. Thought it was the perfect day to hoist my American flag. Typical boat outfit: White BoyScout performance fabric shirt khaki performance fabric shorts. Grey topsiders wide brimmed Boy Scout hat. Apple Watch (on a final quest to dial in body proportions. Did 1100 calories over BMR yesterday beginning with a lifting session and a 2,000 yard swim). Very blessed to have grown up in the south central part of the USA. I am very grateful and proud of those men and women in uniform that have given to us all the rights we enjoy, and am ever aware that we are always just one generation away from frittering it all away. God Bless America…….please.

Lazy day off today but did run a couple errands. Collars and Co Navy cotton silk polo over tan Twillory shorts with brown Anson belt with silver buckle. Beckett Simonon Reid brown suede sneakers, Monterey Kitty Hawk blue dial watch and Versace Eros edt!

It took 877 Days (approx. 2 Years & 4 months), but I've finally reached the promised land, becoming the second Australian general within this esteemed group (if I'm not mistaken). I would like to thank @Antonio Cent and the friends that I've made in this group for creating such an incredible international online community.
