First Time, I Saw A Rattlesnake (Throwback Thursday Story)

             So this happened many years ago and I believe it was two years in a row where I saw a rattlesnake. To make the story short the first time I saw a snake, it was only a mere baby rattler and the rattle wasn't as loud when it shook the rattle to warn us it was nearby so this way we wouldn't step on it. I don't the baby rattlers had as much venom at that stage then an adult snake but I could be wrong though. That was actually out in the rocks a bit we happened to see the little baby snake but also cool. I believe within the two years in a row we also saw a good size Garner Snake as well which was really cool to see too. 


                Now as for the full grown snake I was the one that heard the rattling and knew there was a snake nearby and I saw it all coined up staring us down even though a snake cannot see while but can sense heat and movement on the ground so it knew we were present and near the snake and obviously we were careful to walk away from the where the snake was and it was slithering away anyways so it would feel safe so to speak.


                 Finally on this shorter blog post it was a fun to actually see a poisonous snake but would never wanna piss it off and end up getting bitten and end up in a hospital to be treated it would probably ruin the holiday or vacation all together. It was once in a life time opportunity and it is truly hard to actually see snakes as you have to be in the right place at the right time to actually see nature at it's best but we were quite lucky to see a snake!

(Throwback Thursday Story) The Night I Left My Church Book In Church

             I have to start today's blog post with I do not usually talk about my religion on here much as I keep that aspect of my life but I am not afraid to say that I am a proud Catholic and I got to church every week and during the week here and there. Now this was during Holy Week, which for those who aren't catholic, it is the week that is lead up to Easter Sunday. I was at the Holy Thursday mass and I left my church book in church. Clumsy? Forgetful? I think I was just forgetful as I had a lot on my mind with Chris B On The Web and in a very busy season for my podcast and my mind was just wondering that's all, I think I just didn't look at the pew before I left and usually I do, once again I had a lot on my mind. 


                Was I mad with myself, yes, as I had prayer cards in the book itself, but it was a blessing in disguise as I got a newer book with a better cover so you see it all worked out in the end, I had to just be a little patient and I just didn't have a book for the rest of March till the May book came in so I just used the book in church. Another factor was my mind was on my back, as I was dealing with back spasms at the time and I was in a lot of pain at the time. I have learned from my mistakes and I am making sure to look that I have the book or have my book in my pocket or in my hand.


                  The book could be in one of my pockets of my jackets I had one at the time so you never know and I will have to look when winter hits again but I am not worries about it right now, I have a new book and it is in the past but if I find it in my coat pocket, I will feel quite silly if that is the cast but time will tell down the road. That is my small Throwback Thursday and hope you enjoyed this little story I have told you guys.

Tobermory: The Rough Boat Ride (Throwback Thursday Story)

          This throwback Thursday Story dates back to a few years ago like 2014 maybe 2015 at the most I was on my trip to Tobermory with my dad, so we decided we're going to do our usual and go to Flower Pot Island. Now going to the island the water wasn't rough whatsoever going there and we had a great time at the island but coming back was not nice feeling as it was so much rougher then usual. Now they originally when we got on going there they gave up ponchos to wear so we wouldn't get wet and on the way home, I wore the poncho to ensure I was to remain dry as I had a camera with me, this could of been in the last many months or year as a YouTuber at the time and I was capturing moments of my holiday for the channel.


               The ride back itself was bumpy as ever can be and a lot of splashing into the boat. I had to hold on with dear life to make sure I didn't go over board but I am sure they didn't let that happen to us and make sure we were safe on the trip back to the main land. I thought we were going to be stuck on the island but we probably would end up on a cruise boat as it is bigger and able to handle the waves more then a little Zephyr Zodiac boat as you can see in the picture above. I wasn't dry, I was wet head to two and even my clothes underneath were damp as well so it wasn't a pleasant feeling of being wet from this but it was an adventure and a half that I will never forget. It was a fun day regardless of the rough water.

Durham Entertainment Today Throwback Thursday Story

           I have been wanting to talk about this for quite some time and probably never really talked about Durham Entertainment Today, but I do have quite the story to tell about that series but a little back story to this, this was actually my first ever original series that never really made it to YouTube, I believe 1 or 2 episodes did but was erased quite quickly after the series was cancelled as I didn't want anything to do with it. However, now you guys know this series did exist back in the day. 


            We were recording our Halloween Episode north of York Durham Railway station in Uxbridge and the smart alic my dad is threw a stone and Eric, Missy and I thought it was a ghost but it wasn't but that was a memorable moment for us in that series. Also recording by the old ghost railway in Port Perry was another memorable moment as well and was one of the locations within that whole slew of locations that day.  The theme was ghost railways as you can tell with this small story and hence the reason why I picked the ghost railway. What else was cool and out of the ordinary was the fact I found a piece of coal on the side of the former rail bed, mind you there is no more rails left or the rail ties that remain on the former railway but the bed is there but it is now all dirt now and the rail bridge is there.


                It was indeed an interesting adventure and was actually neat to talk about the railway north of the station and the history of it but the neat things that occurred during the episode was even cooler. We were even dressed up in costumes for the special even as well which made the filming of this episode even better.
