Logbook question
OK so I am enjoying my PPL that I got a month ago and have a question. In my logbook there is a spot for REMARKS/PROCEDURES/MANEUVERS well when I was doing my training I knew what to put in there. What do you folks put in there when you aren't really doing anything in the air? Like a few weeks ago I flew my girlfriend down to SC we went from CPK-DYB and back for the weekend. Really all I did was fly the plane and site see. Does it look odd when there is nothing in that block? For that trip I wrote the distance of the X-country in that block. Just wondering what you all put there.

just put whatever you want. There is nothing wrong with leaving it blank. I sometimes just write something that will make me remember it such as Night flight to SC Great sunset or whatever you want it really doesnt matter what goes in that little block until you start talking about instrument currency

I usually put very little in the remarks section. If I want to make annotations that aren't really flying related, I'll do that in another journal or in my spreadsheet logbook.
I'd suggest trying to keep things professional if you're keeping a logbook for a career, simply because it's a legal record of your flying. But that's just my take... I'm pretty anal retentive about my logs.
If I had a flight where something was remarkable (such as a malfunction or other issue like a divert), I'd annotate that.
When I worked for the airlines, I kept a record of the crewmembers I flew with and the flight number. When I flight instructed, I kept a record of the student that I taught and the course/lesson number.
I'd suggest keeping it simple, but of course what you write is up to you. It's your logbook.

Be certain to record your induction into the mile-high club...airline interviewers consider that to be an unspoken requirement 
And no, I'm not making that up, it really happened.
