Just realized I've run 10,000 parts on this machine without a crash

Hit my 10,000th part on the Haas VF-2 today at work. I've been running it for three years now and never even had a close call. Started keeping track after my first month when the lead guy said I'd probably mess up by part 500. What numbers do you guys track for yourself on the floor?

You know, I used to think trackers were kind of a joke and just for bragging rights, but seeing you hit 10k without a crash actually changed my mind. That's a solid number to be proud of.

Heard a story from a bud who ran a 5 axis Mazak for years without a crash, then one day his kid threw a toy into the machine while it was running. Total disaster, but @wendyw71 is right that 10k is legit bragging rights. That kinda track record takes real discipline.
