Can you spell hiatus?............

Spell it? I can taste it! After around 5 months of filming the Good Doctor, the cast and crew are getting a much deserved one week break.

But first, there was one more week of filming. We started the week outdoors down at Marinaside, on False Creek in Vancouver.

Meanwhile on the show, Dr.'s Browne, Melendez, Andrews and Aoki consult with a patient.

Behind the scenes on that same scene.

Three hours I will never get back on a Saturday night. Those who have had to build their own Ikea furniture know what I'm talking about.

Ta-da!

I went to the remembrance day ceremony at city hall in New Westminster. It was well attended, with around 3,000 people showing up to pay their respects.

Working on the holiday Monday was a lonely job down at the Sutton hotel. Most of the other show filming in town took the day off.

Part of our filming today was under the Cambie St. bridge.

Our base camp was back downtown, in the Roger's arena parking lot.

The sky-train zipping by.

Later in the week we were down in South Burnaby, at what they call, "the backlot."

This set has been used for many shows. Ones I have worked on include Watchmen, Fringe, Wayward Pines, Dead Rising, and now the Good Doctor.

Lots of parking on this fictitious street.

This alley reminded me of the zombie apocalypse when we filmed Dead Rising back in 2014.

A blurry image of a zombie clown running amuck in the very same alley.

Looks like the real thing to me.

We had one night at Surrey City Hall.

Inside Prado Café across from city hall, coffee time!

It was all exterior filming tonight.

Another morning, another different view of Mount Baker from my place.

The caterers nailed this breakfast sandwich they made for me on this morning.

Sunset at Vancouver International Airport as I await a cast pick-up.

Yay! Myah in the camera department made these labels for my radios, thank-you!
Now what kind of trouble can I get into on my days off?

From the web this week, haha!

Who is it?

uh, okay......

The Good Doctor, episodes 210, 211, and 212

Through the car wash I ago, again, it's all a blur, can't remember if this wash was during the filming of episode 210, 211, or 212 of the Good Doctor. (Meanwhile, episode 207, the 7th of season 2 airs tomorrow night.)

Canada’s Remembrance Day ceremonies today will mark 100 years since the signing of the armistice that ended the First World War.
(Those who have served and still serve for our country, my thoughts go out to them today.)

Just before Halloween, the boys added some spooky atmosphere at our base camp at Bridge studios.

We started an early Sunday morning shoot out in Surrey.

In the daytime, a better view of this new condo tower close to Surrey city hall.

A little time to kill near Granville Island before a cast pick-up.

Twas a beautiful morning.

Not the first time I've had to hang out in an alley downtown. (Parking on Beatty St. was non-existent)

Fellow cast driver Jim and I parked stealthy outside of today's shooting at Surrey city hall.

The grim reality of the Whalley  area of Surrey. 

Today, a courtesy pick-up at the residence of one of the cast. The home was very close to Kitsilano beach and pool.

Walking in one of the downtown Vancouver neighbourhoods, some of the people were really getting into the Halloween spirit.

Out at Vancouver International Airport, Jim and I get rock star parking as we wait for cast to arrive from Los Angeles.

Jim's on the look-out at arrivals as I go up to Starbucks for a coffee.

Halloween treats at catering.

My buddy Tim is REALLY getting into the Halloween spirit.

A foggy fall evening in Burnaby

The new stages being built at the Bridge studios are almost complete.

On the floor, hmnnnnn, what could these be for? (I cannot reveal, just keep tuning in to the show.)

Heading down Pender Street, one of my new routes to get to the Sutton Hotel.

An early morning view of Canada Place.

On stage, outside of the hospital doctor's offices. 

Friday night, (not a fraturday, thank goodness.), waiting outside stage 3 for wrap, so I can take the director and writer home. (when the red light is on, they're rolling)

Next day at the Bridge, parked close to stage 4.

Another day, round and round I go. Time for a quick shot of downtown from Fisherman's Wharf.

Working on our second Sunday in a row. This time we were in south Burnaby, bordering on the Fraser River.

Not the selfie king.

Cool to see these log booms on the river.

It was nice to have a chance to walk around the parks that were close by.

Nice of this heron to pose for a pic.

My ride parked outside of our shooting location, an office building.

Later that day, the mighty Teamsters rolled into the Shaughnessy area of Vancouver for our night filming.

One day filming here. (can't say)

Omg! Freddie Highmore, the Good Doctor himself left his water bottle in my car. Should I sell it on E-bay?, lol.

Our next day was at an unnamed amusement park. Here is the shooting gallery.

Bumper cars,

Huge batting cages, this place has it all.

I caught Teamster peeps Bob and Mike playing an old Galaga video game. (very popular game back in the day, I remember it well)

There was two floors of arcade games here as well.

Once again in the film industry the day turns into night.

Early morning shot of Venus and Mount Baker from my balcony.

Then it was off to downtown for a cast pick-up. (a shot looking east beside the convention centre)

..and looking northwest past the sea plane base towards Stanley Park and the North Shore montains.

Really getting to be fall here, but it still looks like summer in Hiroshima if you go by this pic Ritsue sent me. 

From the web this week:

(I don't think I would eat this, hmnnnn………)

NOT worth it!

So much talent spent on something that will turn brown in another minute.

Wow!

Really dude???
