In the office today and after a few days of much needed rain, the Sun is out and I wanted to be ready for it. Not that we are in August the reality of summers end approaching is becoming all too real 😢. So I chose a summer vibe and will add a sport coat later when I take my bride out to dinner.

Lots of internal meetings to advance all of the adjacent client meetings this week. We're busy enough that I had to cancel my attendance in the family's third trip this summer. I had a heart to heart with my son, who is leaving for college right after the third trip, to ensure he understood why and had a chance to discuss. He immediately understood and knows this year is a very big deal for the company's growth and long-term strategy. Sharing my company's goals with not just my wife, but also my boys, provides benefits beyond them just appreciating what goes into running a business. It helps them understand the importance of hard work, dedication, and occasionally, sacrifice. Another moderately warm day here, so the linen blend suit felt like the right call. Today’s Outfit — Summer Suit with Tuesday-Rule Focus Color and seasonality: The look starts with a matte mid-blue summer suit and crisp white shirt, then adds cream, sand, cocoa, and burgundy for controlled warmth. The wool-silk-linen cloth, half-lined jacket, white ground, and pale accessories keep the August presentation light; richer brown-red accents add depth without making it feel autumnal. Tuesday rule: NT-076 is today’s qualifying anchor with it being the first wear. It meets Tuesday’s priority while also improving the outfit through its seasonally appropriate cream-and-brown palette. • Suit — SJ-017, SL-026 (Suitsupply): A matching mid-blue suit in matte, summer-weight wool, silk, and linen, with a natural-shouldered, half-lined two-button jacket and straight-leg cuffed trousers. The airy plain weave suits an August day while remaining business-formal enough for video leadership work and a polished medical appointment. • Shirt — DS-040 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A crisp white non-iron, two-ply cotton-twill shirt with a classic point collar and rounded French cuffs. Its bright neutral color sharpens the mid-blue suit and gives the cream-and-brown tie a clean, seasonally light canvas. • Undershirt — US-003 (Pro Club): A white heavyweight-cotton crew-neck undershirt with a secure, comfortable fit. The white-on-white pairing keeps it visually quiet beneath the dress shirt.

I track wardrobe details across 28 types (shirts, slacks, footwear, etc.). Even with just 2 items in each wardrobe category, that would give me over 268 million outfit combinations. So, the size of my wardrobe is not as big as some on this forum. It's just a matter of getting it all into a database where the number insanity can be calculated. The numbers below are for fun but are limited to business outfits only. No shorts, casual shoes, short socks, etc. With that limitation, I can make just over 28.5 septillion outfits. If I wanted to wear each of these in my lifetime, here's what it would mean!

Heading up to Amarillo for the day. Meetings with contractors and distributors. Tomorrow heading back to Albuquerque and Santa Fe for meetings, a customer training and a few other visits.
