ALWAYS busy. Our local small town service station does that also but we pay a premium anyway because we are a few miles from a major city. <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Harold Sawatsky <div>RE/MAX Crown Real Estate</div><div><a href="mailto:hsawatsk@sasktel.net">hsawatsk@sasktel.net</a></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jul 8, 2019, at 3:50 PM, Randall <<a href="mailto:tr3driver@ca.rr.com">tr3driver@ca.rr.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
