Just hit 100 fridge compressor swaps without a recall

I was looking through my old service tickets last night and realized I just did my 100th fridge compressor swap last Tuesday. It was a basic GE on a rental property over on Maple Street, nothing special. But I started keeping count after my first one blew a sealed system and I had to go back for a redo, so hitting 100 with zero callbacks feels kind of big for me. Has anyone else tracked a specific repair count like that and been surprised at the number?

Laid down a compressor last week and my apprentice asked if I'd ever lost count before. Told him I stopped counting after I forgot if I was on number 6 or number 7. You've got me beat by about 93. What's your secret for keeping track without losing your mind?

Ngl @burns.jenny, I use a little trick where I throw a different colored zip tie on the hose after every tenth one. Makes it easy to count in batches without my brain turning to mush halfway through. Honestly, anything beats trying to remember if that was number 22 or number 23.
