Don teaches the Class… “Nothing is more important than YOUR LIFE!”…  “Safety is in YOUR HANDS” and “I Kill You Here, So You DON’T Get Killed Out There!”

Today’s BONUS Episode takes you to the Training Grounds where Don Harmon is teaching the ‘hands on’ portion of the - “Lease Pumper” course.

You get to experience the enthusiasm of both Don and the Students as he walks them through… step-by-step diagnostics of oil and gas wells as well as what to do when they have a problem in order for them to learn the safe and proper techniques to become a “Lease Pumper” Operator.

The episode is about 50 minutes long and Don mixes instructions and true stories that provide an excellent learning environment.

Jose (RIP) and the rest of the class learn a valuable lesson while out on the Training Ground today… exactly what NOT to do!  This is often the best ways to learn…

Hope you enjoy this Episode!

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
