Hit 4,000 hours on my Liebherr LTM 1090 and the number hit me harder than expected

I was doing my monthly log review at the yard in Fresno and noticed I crossed 4,000 hours on the LTM 1090 I have been running for three years. Sounds like nothing, but that is roughly 500 full work days in the seat, and I started thinking about how many of those hours were smooth picks versus white knuckle ones. What got me was realizing I have never actually kept track of my own hours against the machine hours until now, and they do not line up the way I assumed. Any of you keep a personal log separate from the crane's meter, or am I just making extra paperwork for myself?
