Hit 500 trees pruned today and it got me thinking

I was just marking my logbook after finishing a big oak in Medford and realized I hit 500 trees pruned since I started tracking. That number surprised me because I never thought I'd be doing this long enough to count that high. My first tree was a little crabapple in someone's backyard and I messed up the cuts pretty bad. Does anyone else keep a running count or am I just weird about tracking this stuff?

I messed up the cuts pretty bad" - sounds like my first 50 trees honestly (still not sure I've gotten much better). 500 though? That's like a whole forest of mistakes and successes, congrats.

500 trees, and you're still not sure you've gotten much better?" That's wild to me. I've only done about 30 trees in my whole life, and I still think each one is a new disaster waiting to happen. You're out there making a forest worth of cuts and still doubting yourself, that's some serious dedication.
