The Good Doctor, episode 108

Heading downtown Vancouver as we continue filming episode 108 (8th episode of season 1) of the Good Doctor.

I won paycheque poker this week! You use the last three numbers of the cheque serial number and the cents amount of your cheque to make a poker hand. My three eights was good enough to win a cool $540

after attending the Teamster union meeting I randomly ran into my daughter's friend, Lisa down on Commercial Drive. Her and Teala have been friends since they were babies. So good to see her!

Have you heard about the lonesome loser? (to steal a line from the Little River Band song). Actually, that was fellow Teamster Tracey, he and I were sharing a beverage on the Drive after the meeting.

I think I'm going to make a calendar of the different views I see of Mount Baker from my balcony.

and early cast pick-up down by Coal Harbour.

all is quiet at the St. Bonaventure hospital emergency, at least for now..

Filming this week on location, today we were at the Ticky Poo Coin Laundry which doubled as a convenience store.

Later in the evening we filmed at one of the local high school's running tracks.

I'm not allowed to take pictures of the actors, but at least I can take a picture of Beau Garrett and Richard Schiff's cast chairs. 

The at least once a week trip to the car wash to keep my cast vehicle shiny.

and then the rain came, and man did it pour. I was outside on the street by our Burnaby stages, and I got to watch little lakes forming all around me.

bored, trying to find a creative pic of my car dash, pic.

The caterers rocked this tuna dish!

Our Friday ended in a neighbourhood in Coquitlam. (not a true Fraturday, though, we managed to get out by a respectable 2 a.m.!

Had some time to follow the baseball play-offs on my phone, I love this app.

Our  main cast, left to right, Chuku Modo, Antonia Thomas, Beau Garrett, Hill Harper, Freddie Highmore, Richard Schiff, Tamlyn Tomita, and Nicholas Gonzalez. 

clever

sh***y

how hot was it?

that is because Canadians are so damn nice!

Hot dog!

not how I want to spend my time..

I bet there is no regulation against this. 

Hunker down...

Hunker down, could mean get ready for winter, cuz this was the first snowfall on the season on the North Shore mountains. (another shot from Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver)  Or it could mean that we are settling in for another 11 episodes of our ABC successful new drama series, "The Good Doctor."

Before starting my work week on episode 107 of the Good Doctor, junior and I had a chance to see a stunning view of the lower mainland from the top of Dog Mountain, one of the many hiking trails at Mount Seymour provincial park in North Vancouver. (in the distance you can see Mount Baker)

"Hey junior, wait for me!". It was about an hour to the top, with, as you can see, there  were many challenging sections.

Much to see on the way to the top.

It was a hazy day, but the view of Vancouver and Burrard Inlet was still breath-

One of many Stellar's Jays on top of the mountain looking for a hand out. 

Okay junior, that's close enough...

It was a good day

put it in the memory bank, time to head down the mountain

if you get a chance, it's worth it

Well, it wasn't home cooking, but a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving with the kids is something to be thank-ful for, even if it was at an Earl's restaurant.

Another sign of the changing seasons. This shot at Coal Harbour at around 6 a.m. would of been a bright, bright sunrise pic less than two months ago.

on my second trip downtown to pick-up cast, the day was getting a whole lot brighter.

but alas, as the week went on, the typical fall weather was rearing it's ugly head, it was a day of rain at the Good Doctor studio.

hmnnnn, seems to be quite an emergency at the Saint Bonaventure Hospital....

an asap trip to Panavision for the camera department, not just a mid zoom lens, but a wide zoom as well? (I actually do not know much a bout my cargo..)

Meanwhile, back in Hiroshima, Ritsue sent a pic of a spider outside of her house that I am glad does not hang around my neck of the woods.

She also sent a pic of her late night trip to the bathroom surprise. (If I was half asleep, I probably would not of handled it well)

That is awesome!

I get it.

How great would this be, especially if you were the only one that knew about it.

When your in the right place at the right time.

I'm convinced, bottoms up!

c'mon, really?

Randolph needs a new career, maybe something like paper-clip quality control.

Omg, I'm so surprised by this news. 

My opinion, is it about the tattoo, or the attention seeking owner?

could of invested that humongous waste of do-re-mi.

I respect people on a mission..........

whatever gets you out of the house

and the week ends with Dr. Shaun Murphy, and Doctor Claire Browne waiting for a police escort on episode 103 of the Good Doctor.
