Ahh gotcha. I've had similar. We do not bill our client hourly for the work we do in NJ however I'm told to only put 40 hours on my timesheet. I'm clearly doing more than 40 hours and would like it to be shown.

Sounds like you need to get some friends together to help organize/post stuff up for sale. I've never seen the amount of parts you have but I imagine it is significant.

Case in point: My wife's exploder was on the verge of exploding. While unexploded, it has some value, so... Out I go to trade it (and cash) in for another lower mileage used Explorer. The timing of the thing sucks, and has now slowed down my financial plans for paying off all debt and preparing to retire in about 4.5 years.
I swear whenever I get a good deal of cash at one time, someone sends a message out and an unexpected expense comes up.

GGGrrrrrrrrrr
25% of my time during the week is meetings. Another 15% is prepping for a meeting lol. Management is good and bad.

Now instead of passing the lead truck you have 2 trucks side by side doing 50-55 for the next 2 miles. Over and over. GRINDS MY GEARS
2 miles isn't too bad but with a ride like that, I can understand the frustration.
