Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

This is a test (new uploading technique), but it's also gearhead goodness - all the stuff you like. Safe shopping for online scores? Walkin' Dude flash-fries a water buffalo? Wiring and transpirins' (do all wires matter)? Do you flash the guy who doesn't belong in the #1 lane? If you dig a hole in England, is there a bomb or a skeleton in it? ...And what's more important, your right to privacy or a drone's right to see what you're up to? There's more: the impending unsold army of Ford's nonsensical new Lightning pickups, AI making it up as it goes along, and Vibravoid, Satriani and smushy catalytic-convertor thief deaths (and the Weinermobile).

Invent a better mousetrap and they'll beat a path to your door, or, in the case of the gearheads at the Garage Hour, do an episode full of fun homeownery crap and everyone will want more. ...Because we'd been planning to spend an hour with formerly Silent Sean (head in the bag, mind in the gutter) tuning up the deadbolts at Castle de Sack, what better time to capture some more easy to-dos that'll keep the wolves at bay (now that the stupider people in Colorado have deigned to release an apex predator into our backyards)? Code pads? Double-authentication? House numbers? Screen doors? Door braces? Frangible rounds? Driveway safety and garage-door security? Local laws? Fake rocks? Safe rooms? Shatter Guard? Mail gettin'? We've got 'em.

Alright, gearhead here: Which came first - harsh I.P.A.s or histper sippers? Dwindling dollars cause big dogs to suffer the same fate as big cars and big homes? Does your 7500lb one-week chargemobile make for good transportation or a big paperweight? Got to love big 'Benzes on the Autobahn. Also, gas prices are now lower than electricity by the mile, and R.I.P. Robbie Knievel. More fun: Fatso Jetson, Acid King, Linkin Park, Puny Human, Contagion, Black Crowes, Dog Fashion Disco, Farflung, Deadbolt, Gluecifer and Clutch.

If it's snowing igloos and narwhales outside, you might as well do something in (let your home be a canvas for your genius). The Gearhead Consultancy also knows fine homeownerin', so this episode's got three-way switches (fix the travellers, don't be one), municipalities' rules for wiring (no dimmers for you), firewood and gas logs (because chainsaw), making your utility drawer an expansion of capability (no junk so no junk drawer), not trusting the web (buy a book, maybe even the old Reader's Digest bible), and fixing scuffs in hardwood (markers!). Random rock and/or roll: Zach Wilde, Candy Snatchers, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Chainsaws & Children, Metallica, Puny Human, AC/DC, Orgy, Desert Sessions, Hydroponix, Machines of Loving Grace & Blazing Haley!

"The more I learn, the less I know." said everyone, always - it's time to get your geek on with some off-the-wall thinking. With tacos full of bell and turbos full of charge (and a guest appearance by Glorvox the Massive), the gearhead goons put words to cold batteries and warm wi-fi (and the shame that's what happened to the nameplates "Lightning" and "Hummer"), as well as why CO2 is good (we like trees), distracted driving is bad (spend some attention), Carl Sagan was wise (technology w/ morality), and why just because we can doesn't mean we should. Also appearing: Ministry, Air, Five-Horse Johnson, Biopsiy and Cujo (because that stuff's great!), as well as some crazy eyes, yuge glasses, and green thumbs.

Let's spread some real on now that the good day is done - the Garage Hour goons have hit 2023 like a dump truck full of boba and we're getting it all over the place: freak out the neighbors with your old-school drone, then fix things because the courts came down on farmers' side against John Deere (Steve Wozniak isn't wrong - your right to repair is a big deal). Then it's upgrade versus Green Hell in CA as nobody thought of raising a few dams and keeing water when it's rainiy for days when it ain't. Nice state you've got there... We'll also help you yell about the random craptastic gift for your kid that turned out to be a dirty old man's joke-machine, as well as dish on some Karma to Burn ("V" and "Arch Stanton") and Clutch ("Spacegrass").

Gearheads giving geeky goodness - what could be better for Christmas? There's gobs of great holiday happiness here, plus a few gifts you shouldn't give. Putting some 2A under a real tree? You and 16,000,000 other Americans this year. Concealed-carry helpers are grand too. Making the effort matters - you don't want to mistakenly send someone to Kalifornistan and its reanimation of zombie unconstitutional microstamping mandates, or electric cars, which still don't work when it's cold. More goodies: Christmas chili, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Brian Setzer, Art Carney, Burl Ives, Arthur Fiedler and Deadblot, with notes from the Mom Planet (population turkey).

Prepping versus being prepared: what's it take to keep the little things from killing you when it's snowing icebergs and polar bears (because there's no second chances at zero degrees), and intelligence versus smarts for dumb stuff like tires and recovery (because the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major one in cold weather is you). More fun: western actors and movies you didn't know were worth your time like "Night Passage" and "Ride Clear of Diablo" (with Jimmie Stewart, Dan Duryea and Audie Murphy), and a few thoughts on "Good/Bad/Ugly" versus "Fistful of Dollars" and "A Few Dollars More", and the unappreciated genius of Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach.

So much to upload - sorry, so busy... Garage Hour is on it, though, so don't 'fraid dat: we've got a goodly gearhead glob of geeksauce here. Undercar neon, roundhouses for parking your locomotive and your caboose, sawzalls and reciprocating burglars, driverless cabs, moralless robots, reliabilityless Fords, and the Novembre open-wheel Pike's Peak hillclimber for sale. There's more car-guy stuff: emergency brakes versus parking brakes, and the mechanical peril posed by wheel and tire choices combined with pulling a parade float while undertalented. As for the spice, there's much to enjoy: Rammsetin, Black Nasa, Alabama Thunderpussy, Monster Magnet, Nation of Fear, QOTSA, Wo Fat, as well as cohosts of note Gerhart Klimeck and Dirty Dave.

Yummmm, segminty. Good stuff: The crap you bolt on your roof is a legitimate threat to your vehicle - wear and tear, fluid abuse and suspension decrepitation. Serious gearhead Jay Leno is saved from reallllllly bad burns by friends in his garatch. Carvana is choking on the reality of artificial pressures on capitalism ala Kung Flu. European Union bureaucrats are still pretending they can drive a unicorn fart to work (or: Thatcher and Friedman are still right). More good stuff: the pending prepping episode (and an upcoming Dude Food special), 10-year old Stagg chili and "expiration" dates, honey is also yummy (and good for what ails you), pork roast and a crock pot, and less "elite" but more "efite".

You can't get this kind of awesomeness without a warrant (or a prescription). This Garage Hour does geek right, with a firearm-friendly amendment in Iowa, big AM-talk in San Diego (board-ops, fer shur), the risk science poses to senseless sinners, why New Yorkers are scared shedless of chintzy scooters from pinko China (apartment flambé, anyone?), and why Kevin Bacon can't hold a candle to our "Two Degrees from a Cutlass" theory. There's also some reminiscence about a client with a private dirt-oval, and an exposé of what happens to your skillset when the electro-nannies start doing your legwork. But wait! the Gearhead Consultancy also explains the "Drowning Man" theory, and we take a look at how the thugly F.B.I. is taking a rope to the progenitor of Dreamland Resort (.com) and his affection for Area 51. There's also Machines of Loving Grace, Goatsnake, St. Vitus, Five Horse Johnson, Primus and Air.

It's another pile of gearhead supersauce. ...Learning to read vehicle dynamics and understand where your car's "squish" is (and some thoughts on how to tune that thing so it goes left and right right). ...How Occum's Razor applies to traffic "circles" (the illustrious round-about, another thing that should have stayed in England) and why people keep dying on them. ...The basic math of salt water + electric components + vacuous elites ("elite" at what, exactly?) = car goes BOOM and house goes FLOOM. Also, a little bit of detail on how Kalifornistan has turned on Tesla (they can only take away what they gave you). Have some: Zach Wilde, Anthrax, drunk Jim Bowie, the Cadillac Eldorado, and RIP Dietrich Mateschitz.

These aren't ideas you haven't had, but the Gearhead Coinsultancy got together in Black Forest with The Walkin' Dude to remind you why the basics matter with you've got one foot to spare between dropping 100ft into a washout and crawlin' the high side to your knobby-tired doom. Easy things: truck-training your kids and dogs, knowing your rig's behavior under duress, managing yourself and avoiding fatigue, as well as dumping the ego at the trailhead so you don't wind up an instructional video. Because there's always more: Dirty Harry and the Spanducci Speech, the Cell Phone Incident at FJ Summit, Fred's custom platform for him forum, and Eddyline's "Stay the Trail" Pale - a good beer but not always a good idea.

Yeahhhh, we've been slacking - too much on one plate. No worries, though, because the Gearhead Consultancy got the Second Amendment episode screwed together that we've been promising you, and it's a deusie: everything from historic tales of armed citizens worldwide (and the dictators being dicts who disarmed them), background check fires, what the 3% actually looks like, and reinforcing your children's values to make them safe citizens and not a rat. ...Because geeks need their freedoms, no matter the age. Also making an appearance: "Heavy Metal" (the movie) with Harry Canyon and good niborg, plus Coldwave Breaks and Scrabble with Justin.

Do YOU know better than to put propane in your Tesla's tires? Do YOU know Teslas need special gas that doesn't come from the gas station? ...Then YOU might be smarter than the college laureates who could buy one but not own them. College... While we're at it: be nice to truckers (say it again, uh!), be wary of connecting your heater to your 'fridge to your A/C to your electricity (the internet of things or an appliance army marching towards your destruction?), and the story of a guy from New Jersey who was forced to crush his Cummins Dodge because it was for sale on Fakebook Marketface. Yuuuuuup. Don't say we didn't warn you (because we did, like, all the time ago). Also, Karma to Burn, John Lee Hooker, Big Head Todd, Naked Funk, QOTSA, Skynyrd and the Allmans.

The Garage Hour would like to present you this barnyard of proclivities as gathered by Hostus Maximus Justin Fort on a cross-country dash to Mom's... The transit quesiton: why do some folks think we should be regressing with electric cars and trucks? The power question: who's going to want a car they can't fill up (brownouts, anyone?)? ...And the control issue: what happens when there's so little power that the next neighborhood gets some but you don't? Also, have some good mileage. Special guests include Durant from "Darkman", the Godwin Rule and Murray Gelman Amnesia Hypothesis, Chris Farley, plus some leftist efites and degree snobs.

Been slackin'! Garage Hour's got too much on its plate, and we're chewing like mad to get back to you - in as-soon-as-it's-fixed gearhead time. We've got some goodness for you here: more left-turn-on-green intersection violence (somebody's up to something) and a revisitation of Asimov's rules (technology's not on your side), speaker repair fun (geeks don't chuck it, they fix it), and how Ford's ruining decades of reputation by calling a failing electric pickup by a classic nameplate (hints of Mustang, anyone?). ...Then we liked this picture: There's also some bits - revisiting the Lexus LFA and fat Porsches, a guy eating chips while he Subies, Charles Bronson, plus the Rev (Heat), Masters of Reality, Megadeth, Puny Human, Whoregasm, Mindbomb and the Space Truckers.

Get wound up and the oddball icing stacks up. From the accelerating failure of Ford's useless electric trucks (as heralded by the frauds at Autoweek) to a strange-by-creepy exposé of intersections that put traffic at odds (and who's in control of what), plus bearing witness to an in-situ near dive-bomb on law enforcement by a not-very-piloted Tesla... With a late-night radio chaser from Red Eye, Nouri and Ground Zero - the Garage Hour is here to inform your non-consent. While we're at it: why what's missing from automakers is more than "chips", why defining your elitist fluffer-dream with your neighbors' taxes is pure fail, and the sadness that is Colorado's embrace of Kalifornistan's 40-year old stupidity.

We've got places to be! Get out of the Garage Hour's way, because there's bike parts, buckets, lumber, hangars, tire irons, fuel cans, straps, chains, come-alongs, brooms, ducting, coolers, bungees and street signs to be found. That, plus traffic's Accordion Effect, an iPod that knows where we're going, American-style legal reforms in a third-world jungle, and a whole lot of analysis about rich celebrities whose automobile is a social dowsing rod. While it's on the burner: cyborgs, driving fast (fastmobile then beverate), fixing solenoids by hitting them harder (damn Siamese port long-tubes), and securing your load before we get it for free.

(Not) lost in the woods with the gearhead goons - Hostus Maximus Justin Fort joins the Walkin' Dude at his Black Forest shop for an hour to work through finding the newest small-dollar commuter. In this case, it's an $800 third-gen 4Runner, and we've got deets on how to find your own: what to look for, what's it "need", how to find the "panic point" and how a good truck CAN be more than the sum of its parts. There's more: Primus, Claypool, John Paul Jones, Cumberland Gap, Monolord, Goatsnake, beers from Estes Park Brewery, Toyotas from Iran, Mustangs from Australia and Epstein didn't kill himself.

No, it's not Dude Food, it's good tortillas versus crap fuel, plus corn, cane and calories, as well as the mailman's budget sticking its foot up the bureaucrats' exhaust port. You can't keep down this much gearhead goodness - it's the second of May's Lost Garage Hours. What else wasn't lost? A PO FU to President Hair-sniff McBranden, some fine riffs (and whose are they?), a gearhead goodbye to classic testadura Fred Ward, Pothole Pete still wants to take away your car, and a not terribly massive black hole hiding in your back yard. ...More than candy: Zepplin, Korn, Vultures, Testament, Puny Human, STP, Zombie (s) and the Desert Sessions (off Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's #3 Hillclimb Mix).

These two episodes from May almost took a long walk off a short hard drive, but thanks to doing stuff with our brains, hereyago: Tesla's legacy issues with batteries and taxpayers, electric cars (replacement or runabout?), chicks from Georgia parking on the tracks (and the return of the bodycount conundrum), committing auto theft with a Ford, a big foot and cheap tech, two-step security and the old-school LS400 fob, "I, Robot", plus a drive-by from the Air Force Thunderbirds and one Commander "Slappy". There's more goodness: Desert Sessions and the gang - Kyuss, Fatso Jetson, K.D. Lang, Screaming Trees and "Girl Boy Tom", plus Frankenstein Big Bird.

Garage Hour goons go off about the stupid shed we warned you was going to happen - doesn't take much to figure out the future when you're a geek (2 + 2, cats and kitties). Yes, truckers in Kalifornistan are going to revolt (80,000 repowers can't be wrong). Yes, robot cars will try to kill you. Yes, greenthink is pulling a Spy-VS-Spy and killing itself. Yes, carbon dioxide haters are plant racists. Yes, the clot shots don't a candle to old-school medicines already amortized in the world's poorest nations (one-time lucky?). Yes, gas stoves are still better than electric. So much good stuff. Oh yeah, and Primus' head-weirdo Les Claypool mastered the sounds for the original "Cowboy Bebop" - because awesome.

Yes, carbon dioxide haters are plant racists. Yes, the clot shots don't a candle to old-school medicines already amortized in the world's poorest nations (one-time lucky?). Yes, gas stoves are still better than electric. So much good stuff. Oh yeah, and Primus' head-weirdo Les Claypool mastered the sounds for the original "Cowboy Bebop" - because awesome.

Try on this episode for a two-hour dissertation on how to get what's up (and not be fooled by the info snobs, liars and malcreators in the media). We've got what's said versus what's meant (and what words mean), how to avoid a legacy of idiocy (Tide Pods & eye shots?), drilling down to what's real and what's fake, why bad PR is just bad PR, emotive hooks (what are they good for - absolutely nuthin'!), and how to read messaging tools and channels for their sincere selves. Not every day does the Gearhead Consultancy take off its off-roading, road-racing, tin-bending and break-fixing hats to don the professional public-relations fedora, but the time was right - let's be a savvy message consumer.

Roads from the thought with a trip-think spectacular - freeway rules for signal-work, flow-merging, traffic-desnobbing and photo-enforcement unConstitutionalism. It's geek stuff - what we overdo: while the Garage Hour goons are gear-deep in high-brained cross-country goodness, we consider more than just blacktop: windmill disposal failures, stop signs versus speed limits (physics versus rules), and the Garbage Disposal Syndrome (fix it before it's broken - duhh). There's more: a review of the bag of tricks we should all keep for ifs and whens, how gearhead trends move across the country, and an Iowa cornfield mailbox moment.
