Wow, fabulous results! Nice contrasty images, need to try TMAX developer.
I could never use a changing bag, my hands get claustrophic! 
Surely there's a closet you can light-tight in your little bungalow... |

Thanks, Bill.
I just did not want to wait until night. I ended up having to cover the bathroom door in towels to get the film on the reel, out of the stoopid changing bag.  
I will keep the bag, but only for stuck cameras and film retrieval and such.

When I get the bathroom renovation done, there is a tiny travel trailer bathroom in the middle part of our cabin that I will make into a darkroom. As of now, it holds all of my hunting stuff. I don't have much need of that any more ...

Having a little cubicle of some sort to spool film is the only way to go IMHO.
You also don't have to worry about lint/threads getting in the mix like you
do with a changing bag. |

The first one with the daylilies is really good!
When I first looked at it, my eyes were picking out all of the details in the background.. the buildings, reflections, etc. The daylilies were dark enough that I didn't really notice them. Then, *bam*, I saw them... and they're so much "closer" perceptually that I actually pulled my head back!
People always point out pictures that have a "3D look" or a sense of depth... but it's a completely different story when it surprises you.

Thanks, Ex. Yes, 't'is mine.
A medium format TLR is on the way for me to try out.
I have loaded my first Neopan Acros in one of my slrs on a tripod. It will be nice to see what a slower film can do. A tripod is absolutely necessary for DOF with my hand tremors. The more fired up I get, the shakier they get, and the finer the dexterity needed, the shakier as well. Gotta be an endorfin/adrenaline thing.
But it is ALL good ...

When I was into B/W I'd go to the next challenge which for me was large prints, didn't have large trays or the room to use them but placed the print in a plastic drum (plastic tube with two capped ends) and rolled it along the floor.
Anyway I liked the results e.g.:-
Digital shot (erm the flash went off) of my print with glasses to show size

Wow, what a print.
I hope to have use of a darkroom at the school where I work when classes start again. I will have to stock it myself with an enlarger and other kit.
I much enjoyed printing 30 and more years ago, almost as much as the shot itself ...

Printing is the best part, if darkroom joy is 100% then printing is at least 90% of it.

Looks to me like that developer might be a copy of Tmax, the way the blurb is written.
So, I think you rightly discerned the issue here, because skills cannot possibly have changed in two decades ...
