   That's pretty good.

   This past weekend I decided to EI test FP4+ and XTOL. I took 4
frames at 1/3 stop differences with about a 5 stop spread in contrast.
I then proceeded to dump all the negs into the water bath and then
into the soup and realized half way through that I have no way of
knowing which neg was shot at which exposure. Crap.

   Kodak suggests dumping 4L of water and then packet A and mixing
when creating XTOL. I measured out the water and began to mix. When I
was ready to dump the last liter of water and packet B I noticed that
the container I use to dump the water into the mixing bowl had 1L of
water in it. So um, does that mean that there is 3L in the mixing
bowel or 4? Oh crap.

   Last week I was souping FP4+ again and about 5 minutes into
developing I realized I never made a stop or fix bath. I quickly went
under the sink where my chemicals are and grabbed the bottle of stop
and mixed some stop and figured I do the fix with the lights on.

    Not a half bad idea except the bottle I grabbed wasn't fixer, it
was selenium. CRAP!
