Holding pattern routine....

 

Here I am, on what has become my early morning walk routine. The sun is sure coming up later these days. Just look at that tall drink of water!

Digging the fall colors.......

......mixed in with the "not so digging" foggy mornings.

Fellow Teamster peep John, donning the Tigers ball cap, bragging on how nice it is in his hood, Ladner.

I reciprocated with my A's cap, not bragging about my neighbourhood.

Out and about......

.....on this day it was Byrne Creek Park.

I love this pic. It's a very short walk from the Edmonds Sky Train station.

Have gone and watched junior a couple of times tearing up the ice with his rec hockey team.

Ritsue's balcony gardening skills are really paying off this year!

On the way home from the Vancouver International Film Festival, where junior and I watched a documentary about the Stanley Cup riots of 2011, a dark day in Vancouver history.

It's going to take a lot of mushrooms.......

.......to feed this crew on Thanksgiving. Great that bro Skip was able to attend.

Ahhhhh, leftovers. I must say, this toasted ham sandwich, well, I nailed it, just sayin.

Looking north from the balcony, that's a lot of cloud action.

Looking east on the morning of the solar eclipse, that's too much cloud action! (Speaking of action, here we sit. The writer's have settled, but the actor's are still on strike. They get back talking with the producers on Tuesday. C'mon, let's make a deal!

So I have a morbid sense of humor. I love this far side!

Shhhhhhhh! They're talking..........

My new favorite, random, water drops on the bathroom mirror, hey!, I can see myself, pic. (The shhh, they're talking refers to the ongoing SAG/AFTRA actor's strike. They are in talks with the productions as I write this. The writer's came to an agreement last week, hopefully meaning we will all be back to work soon.)

 

Had a chance to cruise down to Olympic Village a couple of Thursdays ago. The before pic.......

.....and the after pic of Science World. What a beautiful night to be out.

The producers at Brightlight Pictures thought getting the Good Doctor cast and crew together for an evening would boost morale. A lot of people have been out of work since April. A great pic with Christina, Brightlight Pictures Shawn and his wife Betty, Paige, Freddie and Chuku. It was nice to see everyone, a much needed group counselling session, lol.

Finally got around to going on one of our favourite local walks, Deer Lake in Burnaby. (The last time we went was in the spring of 2022.)

The old man in me loves the traffic on the boardwalk on this day!

A great spot nestled smack dab in the middle of the Burnaby metropolis.

Ahhhh, so peaceful, good for the soul.

The inner child in Ritsue came out when we found this playground on Saturday.

Lovely weather, lovely sunset view of Mt. Baker. ( I wonder how much longer I'll be able to see it. Those two condos on the left are new, and I'm hearing plenty more are coming, ugh.

Well, I get points for cooking the pancakes, but Ritsue gets the bonus points for presentation!

On the week-end one of the cable channels was showing the movie Watchmen. My goodness, who is that handsome doctor putting the straight jacket on Mothman?

Makes me smile.........
