I was rummaging through a drawer I hadn't looked in since moving. I found a diary I kept while taking a summer course in geology at Syracuse University in the summer (June 29 - Aug 8) of 1969 between my junior and senior year in high school. I was thinking of putting it into computer text and printing it on a daily basis when done, but a fair amount has to do with technical science in which most people wouldn't be interested or things that happened during my stay there. I will do it if enough people would be interested. Majority wins. Let me know in this thread - Yes or No.

Good idea, back in the late 80s when the Mrs and I were living in separate places as I got our first actually owned property up n running I / we started a daily diary to keep up to date, it continued for the next 20 years or so.
Old fellow rereading thinks did we really do all that with so little........
BUT think I will keep them for the kids to share with theirs.......

Yes! Geology is fascinating, 'tis wut the world is made of.
 
I just rediscovered my pilot's logbook from 1972, when I got my license. I stopped flying in 1993 when my wife got sick. After she passed away, I moved to a new town that had a local airport.
When I presented my logbook to my new instructor, he laughingly said, "This is a historical document". I even had a document signed by Mary Wallace Funk, who was supposed to be one of the first female astronauts. She finally got into space at the age of 86 on a Blue Origin flight.
My last flight was in 2022, celebrating 50 years of flying.
