Mixing in the parking lot
Here's one more, filling in a hotel parking lot in Missouri.  For mixes less than 50%, we can fill through the compressor using the nitrox stick (continuous blending).

As long as you go to a hotel that's situated right on the highway, the compressor noise just blends in with the ambient noise and nobody complains (too much).

We've done it in the winter a couple times when it was well below zero.  It'd take a half hour to get the compressor started, and the over-pressure relief valve would freeze open if it ever went off, so we'd have to pour hot water on it to get it closed again.  The reward for freezing my fingers was "Florida fills" - We'd fill the tanks to 3300, go to bed, get up in the morning, top them off to 3300 again, then they'd dump up to 3800 when we got in the 55 degree water.
