Hit 500 dryer vent cleanings last month, had no idea that was coming

I keep a simple tally in my service van, just a cheap spiral notebook from the True Value in Joliet, and somehow I crossed 500 jobs on October 18th without noticing until I flipped back through the pages. That number shocked me because I only started full time in 2021, so it works out to about 140 per year and I'm not even the busiest guy in our shop. 500 cleanings means roughly 500 potential fires I either stopped or caught early, which makes the repetitive part of pulling lint out of a metal tube feel way more worth it. Has anyone else kept a running count and got surprised by their own numbers, or am I just weirdly obsessed with tracking everything?

You ever wonder how many of those 500 actually thought they were fine and almost weren't?
