Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

Thursday Minion at bat.
It's Thursday!
I give no excuses for previous performance.
I have successfully endured six 12 hr shifts, military doctors, NCO initiations, 400 miles of Michigan wintery roads, Flu, rain, snow, more rain, more snow, two basketball games, 25k (total) runs, a poor neglected (now exuberant) pitbull, and I am ready with a celebratory shot of Jameson and perhaps an "Ole Dirty Bastard" brew from Founder's Brewery....maybe three.
Let's see what Thursday will bring.
Com'on you vile, nasty spreadsheet! Take yer best shot!
Maybe I'll just pop off these boots so I can get ready to count toes...

"..so I can get ready to count toes"
ReplyDeleteWell, if your maths is that bad let's hope nobody submits entries bigger than 20 points! ;)
Yes please keep your pants on Dave!
DeleteDon't worry, Peter, it is far too cold for "commando"!
DeleteTamsin, anything more than 10 will be referred to as MANY! ;)
David - I assumed you were using your toes to count from 11-20, using your fingers for 1-10 ;)
DeleteUse my fingers to count!? How can I hold coffee, beer, or a paint brush if I did that!? ;)
DeletePity you can't just call out, "From the right, NUMBER!"
DeleteCount yourself lucky you might have been sent to an army base in Alaska! (No Florida is only for Officers and the Navy boys!)
ReplyDeleteDuring the "fun" run on Friday, I made the observation that it was Zero degrees as my bare hands were froze in just a few minutes. Actual temperature was -1°....I'm not sure if I should be proud of my outdoor knowledge or despair that I was running in that weather! ;)

DeleteDavid, I'm afraid you're going to have to dig deeper. It was -32 C this morning and Lady Sarah and I watched runners and cyclist-commuters parade past our living room window heading to work.
As we say here in the Canadian Prairies, 'Bit nippy, eh?'
It should be noted that winter physical fitness uniform is a long sleeved PT shirt, PT shorts, socks, and running shoes. The PT jacket(springtime thin plastic), PT pants( also plastic-y), a fleece watch cap, and knit gloves (grandma's mittens are thicker)
DeleteNo other "snivel" gear authorized. You are dressed for a brisk Spring day! ;)
The best part of the run was the shower after and donning "polypro" under the workday uniform and breaking out the winter gloves and baclava! ;)
Certifiable! (I am not expanding on that statement!)
DeleteSuch is service to the great snow lord.
ReplyDelete...long may he reign... ;)
DeleteWould a "woot-woot" be termed brown-nosing, or proper showing of subservience!?
DeleteNah, save that obeisance for Inauguration Day. I only seek satisfaction in the knowledge of your sleep deprivation and evidence of work from your brush-blistered fingers.
DeleteOkay, okay, a 'woot-woot' now and again would be appreciated...
;OP
Glad to have you back home and safe David! You had an early start today. Look for a post from me this am and one this evening is the basing gods are kind.
ReplyDeleteI was tucked into bed quite early as my schedule really wore this Ole man out! Auto-Scheduled posting is AWESOME! ;)
