Vent: My machine just ran for 1000 hours without a single crash

I was doing a long run of aluminum brackets on our old Haas VF2, and the hour meter ticked over to 1000 hours of total runtime since the last major crash. I've never had a stretch that long without a tool break or a bad offset wrecking something. Is this mostly just dumb luck, or does it mean my setup routine is actually getting solid?

Don't jinx it, man, just quietly back away from the machine.

True though, taylor668. What if the machine just wants some space? Seen it happen.

A thousand hours on a Haas without a crash? That's not luck, that's a miracle.
