NMJC is teaching ‘one of a kind’ courses at their Oil and Gas Training Programs in Hobbs, NM; and they are amazing!
You will hear from Kelly Tooker who created these programs and is the Director of O&G Technology at NMJC; the Students and Instructors for the “Lease Pumper” course I was fortunate to sit in on… as well as a firsthand experience of being on the training grounds with Don Harmon.
I want to thank Ms. Monica Cervantes for inviting me to NMJC and all the New Mexico Junior College Staff I met during the week… “Oilfield Talk” was welcomed in and we really appreciate it!
“Oilfield Talk” spent almost a week with NMJC and drove over 2700 miles to bring you these stories… hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy bringing them to you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
