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

Wow.  This is why we don't drink BEFORE the show - no script, bottle openers and too many secrets.  ...Somehow a fun episode happened - rare form, this one.  On-air sauce includes copious dude food, vintage rock, sunken ships and submarines, Dodge VS Ford, U.P.'s turbine locomotives and towing houses.

It doesn't stop there - introducing Mr. Three-Letter Agency himself, "Regular" Bill, as well as Silent Lauren and Tyrannosaurus Desk, plus standardbearers Wrath of God, DDH45 and 11th-Anniversary nectar from Trinity Brewing.

Why ruin each day with two piece of shed drives from noisy kids to crappy boss and back - enjoy your commute instead.  The Garage Hour goons have been molesting traffic since watching "Bullitt" in high school, and you can too.  This episode has ideas on what to leave behind when you back out of the driveway, how to make every on-ramp an exercise of talent, and how to best time a close-fender fly-by of your boss's new Jag on the 15 South.

While we're at it, this episode's got other goodies to keep you from being traffucked - opportunities to build skillset, tricks for making the multi-lane superslab slice-and-dice a pleasurable endeavor, and how to keep traffic carma in your pocket.

The Gearhead Consultancy would like to assist you in your efforts to find a good used car. More importantly, we're geeks and we're here to help, specifically help you make hay with a $500 pony. This isn't rocket-surgery, kids, it's a few rules like working from the cheapest to most expensive parts, knowing the platform's faults, and knowing when to fix and when to live with it.

We'll walk you through a litany of easy fixes that looked like disasters (electrical gremlins - the dreaded power suck, bad brake lights, stupid switches and vaporized valve-cover gaskets). Things you can do yourself: ask a geek, lurk the forums (full of geeks), learn the "knowns" (become a geek).

It's here - beer radio with the Garage Hour goons.  What beers?  Hazy Doodle, Hype Forager, Pliny the Elder, TPS Report, Pale Pumpkin & Dark Tourist, and beer for space (cadets).  What breweries?  Pizza Port, Russian River, Metric & Red Leg, and obviously, Trinity.

There's so much more, we're just going to pile it right here: Infinite hops, beers to (plus for and from) India, mystery water, timely harvests, sizely barrels, available bottles, home-brew go-tos, (not very) automated canning lines, receycled brewery parts, San Diego beach communities (tame!) and because #geekshelp.
