Hit 127 consecutive boots on my old Commodore 64 yesterday

I keep a little tally on the wall of how many times my C64 boots without a fault. Got to 127 yesterday which is a new record for me after I recapped the power supply last summer. Anyone else track random milestones like this with their retro gear?

Whoa that's awesome! I feel you, it's such a good feeling when an old machine just keeps chugging along. I do the same thing with my old Amiga, it's like a little victory every time it boots up without a hiccup.

Oh man, I totally get it. I track boot counts on my Tandy 1000 from 1986. After I swapped out the old leaky caps on the motherboard last year, I hit 89 boots in a row before I accidentally bumped the power cord and it shut down. That little tally on the wall feels like a trophy every time I add another mark.
