Ok, more seriously, mix up some Diafine (Part A and Part B, carried in separate containers). They take about 5 minutes at 65-75 degrees and the process is very hard to screw up. Use Tri-X or TMX. Diafine does not require stop bath. Fix in the normal way. And for heavens sake, don't dump anything in a river. Then use some Heica Perma-Wash. It will cut down (by a lot) your wash times.
