Good afternoon all. Great photo Lorell! Thanks for getting us started today. Doesn't sound like your trip to the trailer turned out too well.
It's been hot here as well, and I've been working on my motorcycle for the past couple of days. Just about done with my project and can ride again.
So, I ordered chemicals to make my own D-23 developer and mixed up a liter a couple of days ago. Today I finished a test roll of 120 film and ran it through the process. Ended up with a blank roll of film! At first I thought the developer didn't work, but the pre-printed numbers on the film were there so I know the developer worked. I checked the shutter on the camera and it was working so the only thing I can think of is that somehow I got the film in "backwards" so it never got exposed. I do know that when I took it out of the camera something seemed "off" to me. Anyway I am going to run another roll through tomorrow and try it again.
Rich, we went to see Where the Crawdads Sing this week as well. DW had read the book and just had to see the movie. I started the book but never really got into it so I stopped reading it. In the theater there were probably 3 guys, the rest women. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "chick flick" but it definitely had appear to the women folk. But, I did enjoy the movie.
We have had thunderstorms this week, and I can hear some thunder now - DW's sister in Birmingham said they had some really bad weather yesterday.
Going to go see if I can help DW in the kitchen get some dinner started.
