What are some of your other hobbies?

I love running and going to Ocean City, Maryland. Just an hour away for me. You guys should check it out, there are a few awesome car shows each year. People sit along the sidewalks all night looking and listening to some really nice cars, suvs, etc. Oh, and I am 51 and have a 4 year old, so it will be some time before I venture into other hobbies.

Cars had just spectacular beautiful body lines back in the day. Detroit had the most creative designers in the world. Somehow they lost their way. Do not even get me started on how "Butt Ass Ugly" Teslas are. LOL
I have lots of interests and hobbies. Sometimes I wish there was only one specific hobby or interest. I instruct with the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) for fun. I'm currently using my 2019 C7 Z06 for track duty. It does very well.
I also build custom pc's. My latest water-cooled office computer.
I'm what I would consider an amateur audiophile. Built all my own wiring and connectors.
Father and son engine building project for my son's right hand drive 180SX. Fully built/forged SR20DET. He's learning a lot.
I use to build mountain bikes a long time ago (I'm 56). Just recently built a new one for myself. Custom carbon fiber Felt bike I built from the frame up. I picked every piece/component I wanted.
I also designed our backyard pool and deck project. Picked out all the plants/trees, etc. Me and two buddies built the TimberTech composite1200 square foot deck attached to the house. That was a pain but we like the results.

Your house is gorgeous. Truly beautiful. I live in South Florida and that house would be $10 million on the intercoastal in Fort Lauderdale or Miami. The ZO6 speaks for itself.
Too Funny.. I have the same Dell Monitor (U3818DW ? ) and the same chair from Office Max. (Super Comfy isn't it?)
Any luck finding a RTX3080 or RTX3090 at a normal price?
I have been going back and forth about building my next water cooled donation in this desk/case hybrid. I love it and I bet it will fetch $30,000 for charity at auction.

This dude is the best fabricator in the world. His work is off the charts.

Thanks for the compliment. I have a Lian Li type computer desk from like 15-20 years ago. It was only partially done as I was making it into a water cooled desk. I may have to break it out and build a new pc with it.
Ironically, the wife and I are going to start looking into a house in Florida. My last kid is almost out of the house and we don't need so much home anymore. Plus, I wouldn't have to cut 3 acres anymore.

Dude.... That f*&*king house is huge. How many kids did you have? 50? lol. My heart is racing just looking at it. 6000 Sq. ft. ?... (10 Million at least in South Florida. LOL) I worked at Little Creek and NOB for years when I Automated, Retrofitted and maintained the Military Sealift Command Fleet Tugs, TAOs and Supply Vessels.(T-ATF, TAOs and TAFS Class vessels). The weather sucks in VA. The damp air over the bay is unforgiving. I fell in love with South Florida when I came down for Spring Break and it took me 20 years to get here. Once my contracts moved my to Saudi , Bahrain and Dubai, I got acclimated to the hot weather and that was it. I sold my 1800 Sq. ft. house in New York for 1.2 million and purchased a 3200 sq. ft. in South Florida for $210,000. Big difference huh? hahah. For you, it would be the opposite, you want a mansion like that in South Florida... get ready to dig really deep. LOL.
Last thing: Where are your neighbors? It must be pitch black at night.

Watches. It's a very fun hobby but also very annoying and can be very expensive. I've bought and sold countless Rolexes, Omegas, and Grand Seikos (for example).
After culling my collection down to 2 (and using a lot of the sales to fund house repairs and our upcoming 3rd floor), I am down to an Omega Seamaster Pro (white) and a Grand Seiko SBGA211 (Snowflake).

"There is always a bigger fish.. or house" in this case. It looks like he just purchased a large piece of land and built the biggest house he could fit on it. hahaha. I sitting here laughing to myself.
