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

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).
