    Ha! Back in my day. we'd slam log books in the doors to keep them from rattling,,:D I don't ever remember being asked for a log book, except the boss would say, "we haven't gotten a log from you in 2 weeks, could you do some scratching? ANY scratching will do".. Times sure have changed.

    I never ran 2 books.

    I used my computer. Much easier to manage then 2 books.

    Two logs? Yeah, the good old days. Except when a cop asked to see your log and you replied "which one".
