Nope, i work at NAPA Auto parts in Odessa, seen three or four Evo X's here and a couple of Ralliarts and a damn nice Evo 8.

Hell yeah, im up for a weekend cruise! There is one Exxon on west county rd by Jumburrito that has 93 octane, the only place in Odessa / Midland that i have found... All else is 91 or 90 octane...

Yeah oilfield. But yeah, housing is absurd around here, but it's to be expected.

Also, unfortunately it's all 90 octane for me in Hobbs. There's one Exxon that says 91, but I'm have no idea if it's true haha.

Yeah I start on the 19th with Nabors as a swamper, but I wanted to get on with baker hughes, halliburton, or weatherford doing just about anything but couldn't get on unfortunately. I'll try this thing out with Nabors and then six months in or so i'll try and get on a drilling rig I guess.

Right on, yeah it's all about experience. But once you're in, it's a lot easier to switch around.

Well I'll be out there by mid June. We all need to go for a cruise sometime for sure! I'm only about an hour or so away from Odessa

My advice...Be a diesel mechanic or a welder.. Less hours, better pay, and a better chance if the price of oil drops to find another job. Been in Odessa all my life and have seen three boom / busts......


AND try to save / invest, 10 - 15% of every check u make..... Best advice...

Drugs, alchol, and violent crime are growing every day here.

Murder capital of America two years in a row during the 1980's oil boom.

Hobbs, Andrews, and Odessa, are ruff places to live. Learn spanish, dont trust anyone, and cover ur back with the women. ( and front....)
Make ur money, invest sum, b safe n live to spend it later. People, many people, die here each n every day.
