06.26.26 (MP3): When DO Animals Attack the Garage Hour? More Hype but Same Man-Eating... Bullets for Bears, Wandering Wolves & Bad Bureaucrats, Fighting & Fleeing for Humans (Even the Dumb Ones), + Citizen Vigilante, Stereo Connectivity & Electric Wizard
Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns
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_outlineIt's a leftover episode (or an episode made of leftovers) - who's hungry? This here Garage Hour is a delicious assortment of parts that'll put your mother's goulash to shame. Made with the finest ingredients we could find in the back of the 'fridge (and/or on the cutting room floor), we've got trucker skills, Tesla fails, drinking ideas versus sobering wrenches, gas prices, beer tourism, estate sale chemicals, thoughts on mass-air sensors, why so many reverse-cameras are being recalled (rightly so - turn your head already), and how to avoid the dreaded doom-loop of bad-idea layering.
Meanwhile, there's the random outsourcing with the Walkin' Dude, Mr. Intolerant, White Mark the Diversity Hire, Tony Sawaya, Homer Simpson and Henchman 23.
