Hit 500 capacitor replacements last week without even counting them before that

I just realized I swapped out 500 capacitors on various boards since I started keeping track three years ago. It surprised me because I always thought of myself as a general repair guy, not a cap specialist - has anyone else noticed a big number like that sneak up on them?

Yeah, I mean caps are just one of those things that pile up without you noticing. It's like once you get good at swapping them you just do it without thinking. Maybe it's just me but I bet plenty of people have a number like that hiding in their work.
