Got some odds and ends here. I have been doing some reorganizing or in some cases, finally organizing, and I ran across this…     This is a little metal model kit from Metal Earth. I put together a Millennium Falcon and it was difficult but alot of fun. This R2 was a pain in the butt. I started working on it over two years ago but gave up after several hours of work. Luckily I packaged everything up together so I still had the instructions and all the small pieces. Just for clarification, this model is about 2 1/2″ tall. I finally finished putting it together. I was once fascinated by these metal models but I think I’ve had my fill.   The other thing I decided to do was start listing some of the things I make for sale. Mostly just by offering Venmo purchases but I have to start somewhere. I stayed up way too late making magnets but I finished a...

  Started work on some Halloween stuff. My measurements were a bit off but it worked as a proof of concept. My wife decided she wanted to go as Coraline for Halloween. I think it was just an excuse to get that nice yellow raincoat she has been talking about for the last two months.     She went back and forth on wether or not she was going as Hermione or Coraline so she originally bought a cheap Griffindor costume that came with some glasses.

So I have to resize them and take another run at it tomorrow. All is not...

  Nashville Hot Chicken drives me crazy. I want to go to Nashville for the sole purpose to feast on their chicken. At this point, the only thing I am sure of is that it includes chicken, pickles and some kind of spicy sauce. I have read that it is an oily sauce that is somewhat like but definitely not buffalo wing sauce. I have tried it at 5 or 6 different restaurants and every time it is different and never like what I have read. I’ve tried it at high end restaurants and chains, only to be given what is essentially a buffalo chicken sandwich…until now. There is a new place that opened called The Hot House Tavern. My nephew agreed to watch the kids so my wife and I had a date night. Any date night is generally a good night but this one turned out really great. The place was trendy, awash with 20-somethings clad in skinny jeans and floppy beanies, luckily, we dined on...
