I personally use an Excel spreadsheet that I print out and stick in the
glove compartment. As I do work I hand-write it in on the sheet and every
once in a while I'll take it inside to type in all the handwritten stuff
and print a new sheet. I thought of perhaps writing my own custom database
program, but I couldn't think of anything I needed it to do that wasn't
already adequately fulfilled by a sheet of paper. Maybe timed reminders for
scheduled maintenance, but I'm such a weirdo that all I think about anyway
is what my Vanagon is going to need next.
