That's a wrap (for now)

That's a wrap! Not on the Good Doctor, but on Ritsue's PR application. After many months, and many hoops to jump through, we finally sent it off to Immigration Canada in Mississauga. Now another long wait begins......
 

............in the meantime, time for a little eggplant and lotus root!
Oh boy!, tempura time!
Complete with buckwheat noodles, yum-yum!
Fixing a broken plastic hook, another Superglue fail!
There's the cabbage........
......and there's the bacon.........that must mean..........
Okonomiyaki time! Sooooooooooooo goooooooooood!
While the Good Doctor season 4 was still on Christmas hiatus, I went and spent a week helping out on Upload, season 2, which is just starting prep. (had so much fun working on season 1, the cast were hilarious!) Still intact was this lodge set at the studio in Coquitlam.
Ran into an old acquaintance while I was there, lol.
Ahhhh, the faux lake, nice!
It was a different couple of days for myself. Started with this office driving ride...........
........moved to this 8 passenger transit van. I spent a couple of days bringing crew to and from crew park and the stages.
I even got to play Teamster truck driver! First I hauled the craft service (snack truck) trailer from the Mighty Ducks studio in Burnaby to Upload in Coquitlam.
Then it was the all important washroom trailer, good thing it's behind me!
Our at home reality. Seems like my plumbing in the ensuite bathroom was leaking down into the unit below me. The plumber came to investigate, and, well, now I have no walls around our shower. (I decided if they were fixing the pipes they might as well replace the 35 year old tub as well. May as well do the tile while they're at it, not looking forward to the bill!
......and there it is, my new shower regulator, whoo..............hoooo........
The ominous fog rolled in outside on this early, early morning........
.....but when the daylight came, another stunning view of Mt. Baker..........
.....followed by a gorgeous sunrise...... what a start to the day!
Back at my post, hanging out on the studio's "Main Street".
..........made for happy feet after I got the pair I had on wet in the heavy rain......
The late night talk shows were having a heyday as Trump's presidency finally came to an end.
Looking for tile for my bathroom at a store in Vancouver. I had no idea this train yard was so close to my normal route to and from downtown.
The showroom was looking across towards Olympic village....
.....and yet another spectacular sunrise above Mt. Baker looking out from our condo.
My first time in 2021 hanging out by Kits beach as I waited to pick-up Dr. Reznick.
Later on that day, I babysat Dr. Reznick's lunch as I waited at the studio to take her back home.
I wonder what they are going to do with this moon buggy now that Lost in Space has wrapped their season.
The advantage to working late, I get the high-way to myself, lol.
Another famous (in my mind) bored, contrast between the stage and the sky, pic.
The last couple of weeks we have enjoyed a lot of sunshine in the Lower Mainland, and I took full advantage as I stood by at the studio.
On this night it was stand-by by the dumpsters in Yaletown, as I waited to pick-up the executive producer and his wife, who were out for dinner.
The Midnight Mass stage is now empty, wonder what's coming next. Over 40 shows in prep, shoot and wrap in the Vancouver area.
 Next door is stage 12, which has a bunch of the Good Doctor sets inside.
Another late night. Clear sailing again as I head through the Cassiar tunnel.
The ultimate in covid fashion!
Ritsue posing once again, this time outside of Vassilis Souvlaki Greek Taverna on Kingsway near my place.
I have wanted to check this place out since I moved to the area 5 years ago.
The atmosphere was very warm and comfortable........
........and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back!
