Wow,

Great question, great answers.

How's this for an alternative sort of milestone:

My dad has always had a shop with a table saw. Growing up I simply assumed
that all houses had a shop of some sort. Although I only recognized this in
retrospect, my dad was my inspiration for adopting this hobby.

The bittersweet milestone: Realizing that my I had eclipsed my dad's skills.

Ahh, but you should see the smile on your Dad's face.
