Who, me, organized?  I wish.....

Partially correct... Around tax time I am forced to get organized.
But I not write off the film/processing/mounting because this is
for personal use and pleasure and not related to my viewer repair
activities... But other purchases are, and I use one checking account
for all stereo-related  purchases...   I also use only one film 
processing company (KSK) and always E6 processing of 36 exp. rolls 
and pay by check.  So I add up all the checks written to KSK and 
divide the total by $8.77.  The result is an integer, equal to the 
number of rolls I shot.  It is that simple! :-)

PS. Later, I found two more checks written to KSK from my home checking
account (one of those days that I had to write a check but did not have
my 3d checks around)... so I have revised my 1997 film output to 134
rolls. :-)
