It took me 2.5 hours to change the hydraulic drive belt on me mower.
I'd have been faster if I hadn't tried the method the manual said to use.

I asked on Avvo if I need to go through all the legal loopholes of starting a business. It's been answered twice; One attorney saying I may potentially face fines and fees if I don't, and another saying I don't have to through the formalities. It's not very assuring to have two lawyers give two such largely differing answers.

You meant "hurdles" rather than "loopholes".
Don't talk to lawyers.
Talk to people who run a business.
Once you're up & running, then you'll find lawyers useful.

Yeah, I went to a mentor. He wasn't helpful in anyway. There is one other similar group that I know of that I'll probably contact.
I see them as having to jump through loopholes when I all I want to do is start fixing and building stuff and making money.

I don't know what your mentor is like.
I advise talking to others in business.
You need a circle of friends & associates with whom to shoot the s***.
Jump in & start work, & deal with the problems as they arise.

Common issues.
You'll under-estimate the work.
You'll over-estimate the income.
All of us who start businesses do so with insufficient knowledge.

Well, I got a third reply saying no. I guess I'll sell a few of these boxes I'm making, not to afford an attorney, but to talk to a CPA about the tax situation. Or, had Radioshack not went under (which still angers me), I could just pay cash for everything that I'm having to buy online, sell face to face, and not have to worry about it. Damn these non-nerds and their not supporting nerd businesses!

The stuff to make my gaming/media box has arrived! And now I get to spend a few hours doing boring and potentially frustrating computer work, then a few hours showing off!

This program that I need that I thought I had downloaded a few days ago failed, and I tried to download it again, and it again failed, and I'm trying to download it again. Assuming it doesn't fail again, it should be done within the hour.

The download is done, the image file nearly wrote to the micro-SD card, which means I'm about to get busy with setting up and learning about a new device. And then once I've figured it all out, which includes the games, media streaming, wired and wireless internet connection, and Blutooth, then it's to show it off!

I also found a piece of hair in a piece of breaded chicken I was eating. Legit, bonafide hair, in my chicken, probably having fell into the breading mix either while it was being made or being loaded to add to the chicken. But there it is, here.
