I just finished my 100th roll of film and the number made me stop and think

I was cleaning out a drawer last weekend and found all my old film canisters. I started counting them out of curiosity, and when I hit 100, it really got to me. That's 100 times I've loaded a camera, 100 times I've waited for scans, and 100 times I've held a physical picture. Most of those rolls are just normal life stuff, my kid learning to ride a bike, my friend's old dog, the way the light hits my kitchen table in October. I never set out to hit a number, it just happened. But seeing them all together, it hit me that this slow process built a real, solid record of my last ten years in a way my phone photos never could. Has anyone else had a moment like that, where a simple count of something you've done showed you its real value?

PSA: I just read that a USDA Prime brisket can lose over 30% of its weight during a proper low-and-slow smoke.

Found that stat in a Texas A&M meat science paper from last year and it makes me rethink how I price my smoked meats for the shop.

Lately, customers keep showing me their phone's car app guesses. Half the time it's something simple, lmao
