the phase of your flying life where logging of time is so important is
when you are accumulating the hours for a higher rating.

The phase of my life is over forty and not interested in a flying career.
I am merely trying to find out what colum to mark the times in.
I am quite aware of what hours I need for my instrument rating that I am
working on
and fully aware that no part of safety pilot will that count towards that.

if you showed up for an interview with the bulk of your hours toward
the rating as safety pilot time do you think that anyone would take it
seriously?

I'm not applying for any jobs.

log the important hours, not the useless stuff.

I try to log every minute in the air as a so-called journal the way Richard
L Collins
has suggested as a great way of keeping track of where you have been
and how you got there. Its in one of his videos from Sportys.

just be happy in the thought that one of your mates thought enough of
you to invite you along. you might need the same assistance at the
other end of your flying life yourself.

My friend could not have made that flight if it wasn't for me.
His other option was to take an instructor with him that would charge
him for his time.
But you are partially right about one thing, I will invite him along whether
I need
his assistance or not.
Because as a pilot I know most of us will use any excuse to fly.
If I were asked to come along on a flight to pickup Brillo pads and we were
flying there, I would always say yes as most of us that love to fly would.
