1/2 of 509

A dark early morning wait outside of Fisherman's Wharf in Vancouver. Soon (actually now) the U.S. Thanksgiving hiatus will begin for the Good Doctor and the rest of the gang.

 

What a shock! I was briefly thrown into the cable truck when we were on location in Burnaby. Surprised I still remembered how, lol.

We were very close to this church in Burnaby Heights. Hey, wait a minute, this church looks very familiar to one we were filming at in episode 507.

Right! The sign they were using in episode 507 even fooled me!

On this day of episode 509 of the Good Doctor, I had some down time because they pushed the actor's pick-up time by an hour. I was close to Olympic village, so I had a chance to go for a stroll......

Wow, this tree is facing a similar over-crowding problem that Vancouver is facing with all of the new condo development.

So much more peaceful underneath the Cambie St. bridge then driving over it heading into the traffic madness downtown.

I never said we weren't spoiled on the Good Doctor. (Although most of us felt spoiled when the writer and director of episode 509 surprised us with this lobster truck, wow!)

We stopped by the Royal Canadian Legion in Burnaby on Remembrance Day to share a toast to the veterans who have served and protected our countries.

Ha, an early morning wait for cast by Kits Beach, nice to get out to feel the fresh morning air.......

.......two days later, same place, but I'm not getting out to smell the fresh, wet air this time.

Sunday morning was spent with coffee and our monthly Teamsters Zoom union meeting, something I feel very strongly about.

Crazy weather days, sitting in the rain on Robson Street before I swoop into the Sutton hotel for a episode 509 guest star pick-up.

2 Mondays ago, after being hit hard on the week-end with the atmospheric river that caused so much damage in B.C., I found my own little problem in my underground. I was surprised, as our condo is at the top of the hill in South Burnaby.

Doesn't really show how deep, but enough for me to go back up to change my shoes and socks, lol.

Standing by close to Main St., you see a lot of building murals scattered about Mt. Pleasant.

Look up, look way up. Hanging out on Richards St. downtown waiting to pick-up our beloved Salen.

One this day I was recruited to take a covid rapid test to the Lifelabs facility in Surrey. We are still getting tested 3 times a week.

Well, well, well looks like Dr. Reznick is getting a little chummy with Salen, the new owner of the hospital. Hmnnnnn, stay tuned......

One of our cast drivers, Jesse, took pictures from the mudslides that he and about 100 other cars got stuck in last Sunday. The people did make it out of this wreckage with minor injuries.

They were trapped between 2 slides for over 18 hours. Finally they were all taken out by helicopter, and had to return for their vehicles later in the week.

.....the devastation

Learned a new old word last week, tchotchke. It was used in one of the scripts, huh.

Ritsue has finally posted her handmade slipper creations on Facebook. Get yours for Christmas!

Well, hmnnn, Yippee Ki-Yay to another week on the Good Doctor!

508 slides into 509

 Wow! There he is! Fellow Teamster peep John had the honor of driving the bus for a scene in episode 508.

.......and who is he driving......hmnnnnn......stay tuned......

I finally found out that it is a show called "Fall of the house of Usher" that is building sets next to our stage 12.

Staying close to the Good Doctor in case he needs to get in my cast ride to keep warm. It was a very chilly, not so San Jose day in Burnaby.

......a lot of preparation for a scene that took about 15 minutes to film......

......and there they go......

We spent one long day at Vancouver Community College. I spent a long time waiting and looking at myself in the mirror, lol.

One of my many asap missions. Shawn showed up on set unannounced one day, and the panic was to get his chair back banner to him.

The weather is so topsy-turvy these days, but it did manage to give us a double rainbow at the studio on this day.

Ritsue got a dandy pic from our balcony.

Sometimes you have to see the ugly to get to......

..... a beautiful little coffee shop in Mt. Pleasant. Recommended by the Good Doctor himself!

.....wow, it's been a long time since I've pulled out the mousse! Must be a special occasion.

Look at those hors d'oeuvres!, must be a very special occasion......

Well, it was. An engagement gathering for one of our executive producers.

Looking for a certain picture, I came across this "pretty boy" trucker from many moons ago. What was I thinking?

I never found the exact picture I was looking for, but I did find this picture of my father at a very young age. He was in the Canadian Navy and served in the Korean War. I felt it was important to honor the men and women who fought for their country on Remembrance Day.

This picture brings so many thoughts. The man in the middle is my great uncle Albert, who served in W.W. 1.

507 cont.

Filming episode 507 of the Good Doctor. The striped tomato is back!

 

The fall colors from our balcony, splendid!

Early, early start on this day. I was the only one on Richards street, downtown, waiting to pick-up the beloved? Salen.

Not giving anything away, lol, but we filmed one day at the Minoro Chapel in Richmond.

My view as I waited to take the Good Doctor back to the Bridge Studios in Burnaby.

Day 4 film drives ready for my delivery to the downloading place.

Hanging out at the Bridge, always looking for a new angle, lol.......

Out filming on the streets of Burnaby, what is happening here????

Across the street, have never seen a church named so........

.......and then the rain came pouring down.......again........

Hey wait a minute, where are we? Oh ya, San Jose.

......then this landed on the console of my cast ride...drove me crazy for most of the day. (don't say I don't keep busy waiting to take the cast home....) Turns out it was a screw that dropped out of my laptop.

Well, I know Dr. Murphy is certainly not happy about this, stay tuned.......

....and the rest of the doctors are getting tired of Salen as well......
