Hit 50 rolls developed at home last week, never thought I'd get here

I started developing black and white film in my bathroom sink about 18 months ago just to save some cash. Last week I rolled out number 50 and it caught me off guard honestly. My first few rolls were disasters, fogged negatives, scratched up from bad reels, you name it. I remember ruining a whole roll of Tri-X from a trip to the local botanical gardens because my developer temp was way off. Now I've got a little setup with a changing bag and a Paterson tank that fits right in the corner of my laundry room. It's crazy how something that felt so foreign becomes second nature after enough tries. What number did you guys hit before it started feeling routine instead of nerve wracking?

Hang on, 50 rolls in 18 months is more like one a week not bad saving, but your math is a little off there.

Nope, that's one roll every 11 days.
