Hit 200 hours of tinkering time in my garage last night

I keep a little log on my workbench of how much time I spend out here working on projects. Last night after I finished rebuilding the carb on my old Honda CB750 I looked down and noticed I crossed 200 hours total since January. That number just hit me. Two hundred hours of just me and my tools and my messes. Its more than I spent watching TV all year probably. And the thing is I only finished two actual projects. The rest was just learning, making mistakes, redoing stuff, cleaning up. But I dont even care. That 200 hours felt like 40 because I was actually into it. Anyone else track their garage time or am I the only weirdo keeping count?

Man I do the same thing, just a tally on a whiteboard by the door. Those hours where you're just messing around and learning are the ones that really add up, even if you don't have a shiny finished project to show for it.

Respectfully disagree, those 200 hours sound more like spinning your wheels than actual progress.
