Shane - I keep a record with date and mileage in MS Excel. I don't put my own labor in but if I pay someone else for their labor I put that in a different column and the parts in another, then the total in another column. It is "interesting" to plot graphs of cost vs. time or mileage...
Another thought folks - for things that are mileage dependent yet long term... if you take parts off another car you'll want to know the mileage on the donor. For example, my car is essentially a '73 that rides on a Carrera suspension and brakes, with a Carrera engine. I don't know how old the front ball joints are, but they are likely << 100k miles. I'll replace them in a couple years to be safe.
