Just passed 500 engine rebuilds and it hit me different

I was going through my old job logs this weekend out of boredom and counted up my engine rebuilds since I started turning wrenches. Hit exactly 527 over 14 years in the trade. What got me is the first 200 were mostly 6.0 Powerstrokes and I remember hating every one of those jobs. Now looking back those rebuilds taught me more about diesel fuel systems than any class ever did. Anyone else ever accidentally track a stat like that and realize how much experience you actually have?

Honestly, what worked for me was just keeping a simple notebook where I jotted down one thing I learned from each rebuild. It forced me to actually think about what went right or wrong.
