Just realized I've lubed over 1000 switches this year

I was cleaning up my desk last night and counted all the empty switch lube containers, turns out I've hit the 1,000 switch mark since January. It's not a huge number compared to some folks here but it surprised me how fast it added up just doing builds for friends and my own projects. Anyone else ever track how many switches you've worked on in a year?

1,000 lubed switches and I bet your fingers still smell like Krytox.

My buddy Dave tried to track his switch count last year and gave up around 400. He kept a little notebook in his tool drawer but forgot to write stuff down half the time. When he finally counted what he actually finished it was way lower than he thought. He told me he spent more time looking for the notebook than actually lubing switches. Funny how the numbers get fuzzy when you're just doing it for fun.
