That's exactly what I like to do. I like to have my recording environment 
ready to go and whenever I start playing following a warmup, I record.

The amazing thing is going back and listening to stuff that was recorded 
in the past. I pulled out  a box of zip disks no less that I recorded 
using a Roland VS-840 rig and have been previewing them. Many songs I 
never committed to CD because there might have been a sour note or perhaps 
portions of the song were not terrifically inspiring, hence they haven't 
seen the light of day for 5 years or more. BUT, I've noticed a lot of the 
old stuff sounded pretty darn good and even the lower eschelon ones had 
some sections that warranted cutting out and using as separate pieces.
