Can we talk about the day I hit 10,000 perfect cores?
It was a Tuesday in July, and my core machine counter just rolled over. I had to stop and stare because I honestly thought it was broken. Anyone else have a shop number that just seemed impossible?

Ever notice how the big numbers always hit on a random Tuesday? My car odometer hit 200k miles on a Wednesday morning commute. Felt like a weird, quiet win that no one else saw.

My old torque wrench clicked over to 50,000 foot pounds on a Thursday afternoon shift change. The whole shop was empty and I just sat there looking at it like it was lying to me. Those quiet milestones feel more real than any trophy because you're the only one who knows what it took to get there. My buddy's press brake counter froze at 99,999 and he had to keep a notebook tally after that.
