There are times we will pass something we wan to go back to someday and we'll make notes of that on the fly. A spreadsheet is nice but it's like pictures in your phone....out of site...out of mind. I do scan receipts into a folder so the paperwork doesn't pile up. There are a number of pre-printed log books you can buy specifically for maintenance. I like the "old ways" of doing things...like you did before.

Yeah those "old ways" do have their advantages. In the previous log I had comments about how things looked, and how I performed things, etc. So much more info than a check box. If it ever came down to lawyers being involved I am sure a good one could argue the diary provides better proof of maintenance performed than a simple check box type form. Our binder stays in the rig, too, but I never got to the point of having a comments section for visitors and friends. My Australian Shepherd keeps visitors to a minimum anyway. LOL
