Behind the Scenes

I thought I would show what happens at our gas station on an average weekend. This is in fast motion otherwise it would become very boring for the watcher. It spanned 3 hard working days. Some gas fills were not captured as I did not set up the camera for all the small quick fills.Continue reading “Behind the Scenes”
