Congratulations!
I have filled up many over the last 26 years, it is fun looking back, and reading the comments occasionally.
When you get 10 filled up, go back and read #5, make sure that you leave yourself notes on weather, funny stories, cool passengers, stuff that went wrong or right.
Have a long and safe time flying!
Maybe you were meant to be a CFI? I literally cannot read a single entry that a CFI has scribbled into my log book.I wish I could read my handwriting enough to be able to maintain written logs. Its how I know I was supposed to be a doctor.

Can't read what my CFII wrote either.
That's funny... most of my cfi's have had tiny, neat handwriting. I was super impressed by the guy who did my HP checkout... he got three lines in there legibly.... and that tiny signature. He carried a .3mm pen just for logbooksMaybe you were meant to be a CFI? I literally cannot read a single entry that a CFI has scribbled into my log book.

300 trips in & out of my flight bagThat logbook’s only 3 years old? What did you do to the poor thing, run over it with your car?
I was logging every full stop landing on a separate line for years. Recently I started logging a whole day on one line which will save me plenty of log books in the future. Just have write smaller just like a CFI I guess?!I am just 3 pages into my second logbook with about 1,000 hours. I’m surprised someone could have 1,200 hours and four logbooks. I guess most of my flights are long.
You know that it doesn't need to be in your flight bag if you're not a student/sport/rec pilot, right?300 trips in & out of my flight bag
Sure, but it's an awfully convenient place for it. I'll usually pull it out and at least write down the hours before I push the plane back into the hangar. Saves having to crawl back into the plane to get the hour meter reading or guesstimate from flightaware. I then generally finish the entry at home, so it's probably more like 600 cycles.You know that it doesn't need to be in your flight bag if you're not a student/sport/rec pilot, right?
