Mention of service records in another thread started me to thinking about the importance of record keeping.
A habbit I picked up early on was writing notes on trucks and equipment with a sharpie; not in plain view, but under the hood. Does anybody else do this? I'm not using it as a replacement for proper record keeping, but to provide a quick reference in the field; it's nothing an acetone-soaked rag can't fix.
Usually I'll just write down when different services are due. On equipment with small gas engines like welders, generators, or pumps I've even put down sparkplug gap and valve lash specs.
