LOLNo didnt need the croissant, but was the best I could do!Now I have only found 2 full service stations between Ashland Ore and Eloy. What is up with that like I really WANT to add my own oil? LMAOIt's pretty darn hot here........nasty little dust devils.about 40 folks here for the skills camp, and maybe 20 fun jumpers. The rest are teams. I have been working in the yard, put in some grass and building a shed. (Um yeah self-reliant) LOL. Looking forward to meeting all that are making the trip....what fun!Cheers!It only takes a little pixie dust...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
