I had three sessions all told, I Kneed :-} more but will try and get back in a few weeks. The stress dissipated immediately after the fist session, pain was gone also after each session but returned next morning. Will better able to tell the results in a day or two.
The better news [for me and many others] is that the chiropractor [Keating Family Chiropractic] and his family are committed to staying in Goose Bay. They have built up the business over the last two years where it is viable, plus they like the ‘country’ life style. Double better news would be if he was able to travel into the coastal communities on periodic visits, this he is still working on but lots of variables come into play. Mean time one has to pay ten times the treatment fees just to get there and back.
I took some pictures while out in Goose Bay. No intention to paint in bad light, but it is not the prettiest time there for sure. Large dirty snow banks that are being cut away at by either the sun of big machinery. Lot of sand all over the roads and parking spaces.
Stayed at the Hotel North, nice inside, plus since I last stayed there they have an annex including the Mariners Restaurant that is popular not only for their all you can eat sea food buffet once a week [I missed it, it’s on Fridays]. I went in for a quick bite after my arrival Wednesday, jigs dinner plus pasta was on, one guy scuttled up three times in the short time I was there. I figured that since not many people there he did not want the food to spoil.
The air port terminal and apron was as busy as I have seen it for non military craft and people. Place was a hive of coastal people and smoozers of the business and commercial world. The premier was in town briefly, did not see him but noticed plenty of periphery folk doing the smoozing and flannel mouthing. A number of us cynical people sat around talking and taking in the smooze fest.
The trip home left almost on time, it was smooth and just above broken cloud all the way.
Twelve people on board, these are some shot from the business class section forward on a De Havilland Twin Otter of unknown vintage.

The windows are scratched and pitted and the cloud was in the way but managed these taken about 20 to 30 minutes south of home. Still plenty of ice and snow around sure, could not make out any open water, but should not be long coming in.

We took a flight from Lukla to Kathmandu in Nepal last year on a Twin Otter. Check this out and this. one
One thing about all the twin otters I have flown on, no shortage of air conditioning of various intensity.
Most have gapes where the doors/door hinges are, the one on Friday had a gap [not visible] around the rear escape door, it was cooling my ribs the entire trip.
I’m sure I have seen one almost as bad as your picture, but as a rule I feel comfortable on these planes, especially in Canada. Usually the pilots are very good, though the co pilot who landed us Friday needs some work, hard hit on the starboard wheel had everybody hum-haring.
A few years back a Ken Boric Air twin otter flew all the way from Western Canada down to South America, on to the South Pole just to rescue a sick American doctor. The co pilot on that trip was from Newfoundland.
