Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns
While Tri-State hoodlums make a mockery of Critical Mass and drivers in New Jersey are too distracted to see the cops, truck tires are attacking attentive freewaygoers and robot cars continue to plan your doom. Whatever will you do? Firstly, consult the experts: the Garage Hour goons are here for you - professional gearheads with geekpower aplenty, we've got da' Motts on your fear of flying tires, flying bears, flailing fat guys and flashmobbing urban slideshowers. There's also car chases (#because), Johnny Cab (the first wave), cops in gillie suits (not a...

While the hills smolder and good folks wonder why the Front Range won't open up logging (or encourage heating with wood), the Garage Hour goons gathered out in B.F.E. for an hour of knowin' - when it's time to shop for a welder, what do you want? What welds require which machine? How much power will you need? How do you hook it up? What brands matter more? What welding are you doing? New welder or used? Prices and availability? Recommendations for the rest of your day: try the fried squid but avoid all-you-can-eat sushi. Cats may not be as evil...

Gearheads doing gearhead stuff... What better a Saturday than sips and shocks; beers and brakes; glasses of ale and boxes full of used parts? Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Brown Ryan rolled to the urban fortress that is the grade-A junkyard at Best Foreign Used Parts for an hour of good beer (some local, some very international), good shopping (when your salvage yard is so good people incorporate it in their summer travel plans), good Mexican food (now you know), and good stories about the sipping scene in the 'Springs itself. Don, Jake and Sam joined in, but Tom and the...

The Garage Hour goons assembled at Location BFE for an hour of good garagey fun - salvaging parts from rolled trucks, hubcaps versus center caps, some of the more durable engines, and current catalytic convertor costs. There's also some villains, some mortar rounds, a look at the 'Springs' WW2 Air Force Museum, some dead baby jokes (yeah, I know, we couldn't help ourselves - the chicken started it), and an Excellent Weirdo R.I.P. for Kjell Nillson - better known as Lord Humongous. Still in there: clips versus mags, extension cords, questionable fireworks, a fancy starter, JFS4, the...

Here's the top line (up front, for once...): bears and wolves and meese and bees and pigs and all sorts of wildlife attack humans - you're on their menu. If you're prepared - right caliber, correct mindset, and knowing we're superior because of our brains and our tools (not our claws or our ability to rip a Honda apart with our teeth), you'll be fine. However, so many people are wandering into the woods without a whiff of sense or any serious prep, and they're gonna get et. Don't be an idiot (or a fool) and revel in the opportunity to survive in style. Probablmaybe....

info_outlineSome serious stuff lands better with humor, so help yuck up some doom and gloom with the Garage Hour gearheads. We've got the potential peril of cars made in China (everything from unactuated robot cars and vampire technology to dangerously chintzy products and blatant trademark infringement) and the real-life lessons you and we can learn from the rinse-and-repeat episodes of Tiger Woods' DUIs (let the celeb make the mistake for you). From there, there's some thought development on a schism developing in the used car market (new and old - divergent, but why?), and a reminder that some tech is easy to fix because it's easy to fix (geeks can do stuff!).

Also in there: loads of Led Zeppelin (Physical Graffiti, of course), and some adventures in foam with beer from the sale shelf (why not enjoy some beer tourism?).
