WTF So I just dick'd my butt

Wait I must be missing something. How do I offer 85 an hour when I can't find anything offering near that for what I do.
On Guru, you can quote whatever the fuck you want. On more than one occasion, I've gotten a reply that I was significantly more than everyone else. Once I explained why, they hired me.

Just fucking do it already.

Stop looking for what people are offering to pay and tell them if they want a quality job, it's going to cost $85 an hour.
So if I see a bunch of jobs at $25 an hour, I should pick one of them and just tell them they need me at triple that rate because I'm better?

That would never work. Maybe for a bit more, say 40 or 45 and hour over 25 an hour, but not 80 to 90. And I'm only interested in doing jobs that I can work on for an hour or two each evening. If someone were to agree to such a higher rate, they'd more than likely want the work done as quickly as possible.

If I can find that right jobs that will accept the right rate, I will.

You're assuming way too much what the customer wants. They don't know what they want, you have to tell them.
