No lead moved out of Part 1 Census stocks this quarter.
Not gaming related, but I was named the physician honoree of the month for June by Western Connecticut Health Network, composed of Danbury, Norwalk, and New Milford Hospitals, and associated organizations, including over 1,300 physicians. As well as direct patient care and some medical student teaching, I also serve on the Quality committee of the Board of Directors of WCHN, and have done so for the past 5 years. As I joked to my patients, it came with a free premium parking spot for a month at a hospital I don't usually go to, but getting a pat on the back is always nice!
Congratulations, Peter, on the work award! Very nice! Painting totals look quite good and YTD spending is quite modest. You are under control on all fronts. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon. So far spending and productivity are both within reasonable parameters!
DeleteCongratulations on your award. Your output is as always impressively high.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain!
DeleteCongrats Peter!.... I admire your miniatures painting work load every year...amazing!...now ...about my Hernia....blah :o) blah...
ReplyDeletecheers
Thanks, Phil, and you're certainly no slouch in production, either!
DeleteAbout that hernia - I had mine fixed after Historicon 2010, when it really got uncomfortable standing for hours at a time. Problem solved! :-)
Oh there's no way i'd ever make my hobby expenses public! That's dangerous information! I have a healthy marriage and I intend on keeping it that way! ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice production, though
34 years for us this month, Iannick. :-)
DeleteAlthough we have no secrets (she pays the CC bills anyway), if I ever wanted to hide something from my wife, here on the blog would probably be the safest place imaginable, LOL!
Hahaha thats a good point!
DeleteAnd Congrats! 25 more than us! ;-)
Congratulations on the award Peter. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
DeleteFirstly well done on the award, and equally as impressive the magnificent effort with regard to the expenditure.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. Expenditures will jump next quarter with HCon, but I have enough lead on hand in eras that I am actively painting that I hope to buy almost none more until the end of the year. Unless, of course, there's a good sale...
