Found an old dredge log from 1972 at a yard sale
It was for a small cutterhead dredge working the Mississippi near St. Louis. The daily yardage totals were way lower than I expected. Like, half of what a similar sized machine pulls now. Found it in a box of old books for two bucks. Makes you think about how much the gear and methods have improved. Anyone else come across old records that made you realize how far we've come?

My 1972 math grades show the same trend.

Right? My old report cards are a total mess too.

I used to think bad grades meant I just wasn't trying hard enough. Seeing that old pattern on paper made me realize some subjects just never clicked for me back then. It's kind of a relief to see it wasn't just me.
