Hit 1,000 hours on my old Okuma lathe and the counter stopped at 999.9

I keep a little notebook of run hours per machine and finally crossed 1,000 on the Okuma LC40 we bought used in 2019. It's not a huge deal, but that lathe was a mess when we got it, way out of level and the tailstock was off by .008. Spent a whole Saturday in March dialing it back in with a buddy of mine who runs night shift. Now it holds .0005 all day on 4140. Anybody else track hours on older machines, or am I the only one keeping a notebook like this?
