Glad to read that the back is working itself out. Guys like you who spend an enormous amount of time in the mountains don't usually have a sit-down hobby -- like jewelry making(my favourite) as a fall back
You and Bob R can go neck-to-neck on those statistics; he has spread sheets documenting his decades of summits, buddies, etc.
In passing, it would be nice to know where, how, when (and why??) I have taken on summits....but...it would read like this:
"Today, we attempted Mt Lola for the 4th?? time, but once again, I became distracted by the meadow below, tracked the bears from a distance, had a picnic, took a nap, and wandered by to camp. Be back again"
