Who keeps a log book?

I keep a very detailed log down to (hopefully) every rnd fired, every cleaning and all thoughts and comments. I do this for every gun because some guns may not get shot for 6months to a year, and I forget what I was working on or experimenting with.

TMoney - I think you're referring to the book issued by the Federal Supply Service courtesy of the GPO.

I use a Boorum & Pease memo book. It's hardbound, and at 9" X 6" is a bit larger, but works well for me.

I keep a RELOADING notebook with all the load specs (successful and less successful) for each of my weapons. I also cut up targets and tape them in the notebook for future reference and also proof for bragging. :) This is mostly done when I get a new toy or am working up new loads. Once I have settled on a few decent loads for a firearm, I'll only make additions to the notebook if I shoot an extraordinary group or have some type of problem.
 
After every session, I log the particulars as to gun, load, general impressions as to accuracy and pressure, and note any problems.

Referring back to this data has been very useful, and assuming I remember to do it fairly soon after I get home, only takes a coupleof minutes.
 
I maintain an anal LOADING log, but I have no need to keep one for my guns.

I just look at the tons of emptys I generate, and estimate how many thousands and thousands of rounds I've fired...

"All my ammo is factory ammo"
 
I do.

Each gun gets its own spreadsheet. Each sheet shows ammo brand, type (Silvertip, GD, etc.), weight, # of each fired, and the date. Every 5 or 6 sessions, I print it out.

The purpose is so I can keep track of how many rounds went through each gun.
