My Ferry Ride To Pelee Island... (Throwback Thursday Story)

             This was years and years ago since I went on the ferry to Pelee Island, I am talking about when I was still a kid at the time in the late 90's at the most. But my dad and I took a trip down to Leamington, Ontario for a vacation even though it was only a couple of days but that was OK with me and it's sort of hard to remember that far back as I was younger then and it was a long time ago, we're talking like 20 odd years ago when this all happened. Anyways we got down there and got a campsite and got setup. I remember there was a Detroit Red Wings player that is from that town actually, Darren McCarty whom grew up in Leamington. So yes I know a bit of history of Detroit even though I'm technically more of a Leaf fan then anything else during the Hockey Season. 


               Anyways, we got our ferry tickets and we were actually on 2 different ferries going there and the first ferry we got was the Pelee Islander and it was an interesting trip say to the least as my dad has his coffee on the boat on the floor and a we hit a wave to a point his coffee spilled all over the floor. So the rest of the boat ride, all you can see is coffee going from one side to another which was sort of funny in a way. However coming home we were on the bigger ferry the Jiimaan Ferry on our way back to the main land. I was fairly young and unable to do any of the wine taste testing but would now as I am now older and able to drink, I would definitely indulge in testing out different wines. We walked around the island a bit too and I know there are snakes on the island, nothing poisonous but I believe  it is the Blue Racer Snake which has been known to be a bit of a nuscience on the island. 



             However it was a fun trip, my dad almost got pulled over for speeding but the police warned us with his lights so we got away with it that time. I would definitely go back and we are planning to go back next year in the summer for a visit and maybe bring home some wine from Pelee Island in the process. Also forgot to say We even saw and Eastern Fox Snake while staying at the Wheatley Provincial Park and I got the picture off Google.com.  Mind you the snake was massive and slow as a tortoise but really neat to see what it looks like in person. We all watched the snake slowly make it;s way across the road and back into the woods where it belongs. Overall it was a fun trip all together.

The Binding of Isaac Progress Update

          I can say, it has been an interesting runs the last little while with playing The Binding of Isaac. i have found myself getting closer and closer to the end and achieving more accomplishments on the game. Right now I am in the 40's for completion to get Golden God status in the game. It is a very long process to get 100% but I am now at 47% so I am soooo close to the half way mark to the end. I need to follow the steam accomplishments list so I need to look at it and decide which one to complete. As for the challenges I am 5 from completion and mind you I have been close time and time again from finishing up these challenges and actually it's not that bad. I have gotten to Mom's Heart but ended up dead before I got to her actually. However I am getting closer to winning every time and one of these days I will come out with the big "W" and one step closer to finishing this game finally. I have player over 1000 hours of the game, which is insane! I have been trying so hard to finish this and get into The Binding of Isaac Rebirth which I have already bought already and waiting to be installed onto my computer. 


           It is about time I finish this and I am excited to get to the end game finally and ready to complete this game. I have had this game for a good 2 - 3 years now and it has taken me a long time, however, I have gotten the knack to playing some good nifty long and deep runs within the game. I have even tried brimstone and honestly I love brimstone but it is rare to get from time to time, I haven't had it for a while and never know when it will pop up whether it is in the item room or a devil deal. It does depend if I have enough hearts or don't wanna gamble then I won't, but I do gamble quite a lot in the game. You can say got gambling in my blood, game wise not money wise if you know what I mean. I am really excited to see and how long it will take, I am going to work hard on my extra time to finish and finally complete this game so I can move on to Rebirth and the next game. I know I can do it, I have faith in myself and I know I can definitely can do it.

Had My Wisdom Tooth Pulled Today & Update!

              Today I originally had a plan for a blog post but I need to hold off as things kind of ended up changing due to the fact I had Oral surgery or in English my Wisdom tooth was pulled out as it was kind of long gone with a cavity if they fixed the tooth again, it'll come back again so the best bet was to remove it and I ended up going there for no reason the first time around but came back there today and got the tooth removed why didn't even hurt as he froze my mouth properly so it was an easy time to get the tooth out. One less tooth I gotta deal with honestly. I am happy it's gone but the pain is on and off today and taken some Tylenol for the pain which has helped and only have taken it once today and once again tonight it is aching a bit but not as much as this afternoon so I am slowly on the mend but as I said on Twitter and Instagram, will not be too active with podcasts  this week and I will get into that part soon. I was very much happy with the dentist as it wasn't my usual dentist as he is now semi retired from practice which is fine with me. The dentist I had, he was very nice and really cool. I told my mom if he takes over, I am fine with staying with this dentist as it is closer to us to go to the appointments each and every 6 months.


                So with the news of me going through with the oral surgery, I need to take a couple of days off to re-cooperate and I feel like if I was to record The CBOTW Show Podcast episodes I would be straining my mouth as I got a tooth missing now and re opening the now hole in the mouth from where the tooth once use to be. I need to take care of this first and ensure it doesn't get infected whatsoever and I know you understand and it doesn't really affect the scheduling for both "Everything About Reality TV" & "The CBOTW Show" Podcasts. It is just The CBOTW Show I need to catch up with and get back into as I have to catch up on Last Man Standing so I am ready for a week Friday when the show is back on the air once again and ready to go for another recap of the show. Give me the rest of this week to get caught up start recording, edited it then I will do a post of the schedule when it goes up and what not. Hope you all understand the position I'm in right now with this dental work I just got done and appreciate the continuing love and support of Chris B On The Web!

I Am Starting To Understand The All In The Family Storylines

              I finally understand the story line later on in the series when both Meathead and Gloria's fighting started to get more and more towards the 6th, 7th 8th and finally the 9th season. It does build up throughout the seasons and I understand how things went during the latter half of the seasons. I know you can cut tensions with a butter knife as you can notice the bickering was building up and I think after they moved to California that is when all hell broke loose but we as fans will never know what the heck happened as it wasn't part of the story arch or timeline of the show. I say it all happens for a reason and I really liked the story line and the introduction of Stephanie after Gloria and Mike left the show as they put it they moved out west. Anyways. I now understand the story line especially what I said above and especially the timeline of the Jefferson's, George and Weasy (Louise) Jefferson.  Especially the start of the series as well when George isn't present for a couple of season then he shows up once Henry, his brother leaves then George comes in but not for not a very long time as for those who have seen the entire series like I have, the Jefferson's move on up and they end up with their own spin off series called The Jefferson's which also ran a very long time. Also it we saw the birth of little Joey as well.


               So you can see I made a bit of a point at some of the major events and it shows I know some of the major events that has gone on within the show and I truly understand the timeline of events during the series and least I know and understand everything going on, like for example, presidents of the United States changed from Nixon to Ford as one other primary example within the series so there is another example right there. No matter what I love this show and now that I have completed the series I need to finish collecting Archie Bunker's Place as I got season 1 and I believe it runs 4 seasons in total if I remember what I read online as well. Either way it is one of my favorite older shows and yes i am in my 30's and only reason I got into these was cause of my parents who introduced me to TV Land channel and Deja Vu as well so that is how I got into this show.

I Got A Media Pass For The Royal Winter Fair

          I just found out this week, I was accepted into getting a Media Pass so I can do my blogging around The Fair part of the Royal Winter Fair on November 3rd which gives me all the permission in the world to take as many pictures as I want. I have had the media pass before, 2014, 2017 & this year, 2018 so 3 times in almost 4 years since Chris B On The Web existed or began it's long journey to success as you now see it to this very day. I was worried when I got home from Minneapolis that I wouldn't be getting the pass at all as I was extremely late submitting my application for it, but it wasn't too late and hey I got the media pass and I worried over it for nothing, like honestly.  I seem to worry about the small things when it comes to these things and I'm sure if I was able to explain I would but I didn't have to, I guess applications can be in within October instead.


             However I am very excited to be going to The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair 2018 and cannot wait to see both the show and the horse show and what amazing things are going to happen. I will be on and off Instagram and Twitter throughout the day and I will have my mobile battery charger for my phone with me in case of emergencies. I was suppose to have Dave come with me but that is all up in the air right now and I am feeling a bit nervous having him with me as he's not been through what I experienced so if he does come along for this adventure with me, then I will be giving him a crash course on this entire adventure and what to do and what pictures to take as for those who didn't know he was my camera man once upon a time so he has to learn what pictures I need so I guess direct him like I did when I was still on YouTube. Either way this will be a fun trip and day and looking forward to even sharing it with one of my former team members if he decides to come along for the trip, it will be once again another great year at The Royal Winter Fair!

Android Vs. IPhone.... Which One Do I Prefer?

              First of all crap hit the fan when my mouse stopped working and I had Larry over and had to go get another mouse for my computer at Canada Computers which I love the fact they are nearby and easy to get at. Anyways, we were looking at the protection cases for phones while we waited to check out my mouse and that is when I got this entire idea for Android vs IPhone which one is better? First of all, I have had both Android & IPhone, currently with IPhone at his current moment.. What the heck I said IPhone 3 times, dang it 4 now... smh. Anyways this blog post i getting so derailed now, but the question of the day is which one is better. Well I can say first of all Android it is easier to get a virus compare to IOS as I never got a virus warning sign whatsoever so Android I like but certain phones I didn't like, such as Samsung being one of them. The LG G3 wasn't bad either and I actually was hoping to get he LG G5 or the G6 which are more the latest as those phones which I really liked it. IPhone at the start I found it really hard to figure out how the heck to use it but however, I managed to figured it out how to use it minus Facetime which I still gotta figure out hopefully around my birthday I will get to do that with family if they wish to do so.


                Now the million dollar question is which one do I prefer, it is the IPhone. Why? Because I like the fact I got a lot other apps I can use, such as the podcasts app, which are hooked up to the ITunes Podcast and yes Mine is in there as well as I have subscribed to myself as sometimes I do tune into my own podcast from time to time but I will talk about it in a later time. Also ITunes are on there but I think you can get them onto a android but I could be wrong about it but you never really know as I never really tried downloading it onto my android when I had android. But I do prefer the IPhone as I said before it sure has a lot more features then android but that is only one man's opinion.
