I still log via paper, no computers are allowed in the radio room! In fact, no solid
state gear for that matter, but this will change soon when my 'new'(to me) rig comes
home.

Seems my mom was different - she let me keep my stuff, and as a result I still have my
matchbox car collection, early Tonkas, original G I Joes and many other goodies from
marbles to trains. Can't prove the theory that hoarding things now is a result of
having gotten things tossed earlier - I've been a packrat all my life. I credit it with
being raised poor, and having to make do with what you could get. Certainly explains
why those heavy old boatanchors that were 'yours if you can carry it away' became my
main interest. They all thought I was out of fashion, but in reality I was just ahead
of the curve (after missing the first round).

BTW, 2-3 old logbooks here, inlcuding a Collins log. All are written in by previous
owners, which makes them so much more interesting...
