Hi everyone!  This isn't a typical book related blog, but rather an important business blog.  In my browsing I have had a hard time finding good, reliable, easy to print and use mileage logs.  I made one for myself, and decided to share it with all of you.  I hope this helps. You dont need a google account to see the file.  You can just click here to pull it up.  Print it, and you are set.  If you wish, you can save a copy of it in your own gdrive (if you have one). Let me know how this works! -Chris
