What are your sharpening "milestones"?

I had two sharpening milestones this week. First I achieved hair whittling sharp edges on 4 different steels this week (Case CV, Victorinox Stainless, VG-10, and S30V). Second my father commented on how sharp my CV Case Peanut was after asking what knife I was caring during Thanksgiving diner.
 
Im still only able to get edges hair popping consistently. Ive had one hair whittling edge but it was just a fluke since Ive never been able to get back to that level.
 
Just half assed whittled hairs with 2 different knives. Im not sure if they count though since I had to run the hair over the blade about a half dozen times each before they bit. Not quite there yet but getting better. My last hair splitting edge (the one Ive never been able to duplicate) was with bench stones and lots of stropping. These two were both off a sharpmaker with ultra fine rods & no stropping.
