What is something/hobby that you have spent waaaaay too much time on:

The beach cart I’ve developed is a masterclass in convenience evolution, painstakingly modified with over 200 (probably) hours of (mostly) precise engineering/research/development and is unmatched in the retail market.

 

Do you have a persona that you identify with while playing golf?

Yes, I take the name “Cobra Diablo”.

 

Have you ever wasted lots of time and money for your children’s enjoyment even though it made your wife angry?

Yes, I modified my son’s power wheels to go 15 mph instead of 5 mph so he can drift it, do donuts, and now has launch control.
