ALARM!!! TRULY HORRIFIC FORECAST FOR PITTSBURGH

Could Pittsburgh end up being a failure like Los Angeles?

Due to rising suspicion of pretty dangerous weather patterns for much of western Pennsylvania, the likelihood of us going to Pittsburgh this upcoming Friday & Saturday has been swayed so low that if the trendline continues going down at the same rate as the trendline for Los Angeles did on the morning of December 7, we might not be going to Pittsburgh at all tomorrow! While that will suck, at least I was able to introduce new angelical cities in Connecticut to the Charlotte Kingdom, so this Christmas week wouldn't be meaningless after all.

Bottom line is, if a trip is brainstormed for any city of the Charlotte Kingdom, expect it to most likely NOT work out, unless it's Hartford or Secaucus.

What happens, if I still end up going to Pittsburgh?

If that is to happen (I still highly doubt it will though), I don't have specific plans for what hotel I am staying at or what lifts I would like to film, but I would at least like to film one Schindler PORT (Westin downtown probably) or one OTIS CompassPlus (Cathedral of Learning). While I CANNOT be certain about this, that's the minimum I am hoping to film if I am able to manage to go to Pittsburgh.

What happens if I am UNABLE to go to Pittsburgh?

If that happens (most likely it almost definitely WILL), then I could save Pittsburgh for the summer at the worst case scenario, if I also CAN'T GO DURING SPRING WEEK. However, I do have some backup plans which are slightly more likely of happening as of right now:

New York City (high rise buildings with better lifts ONLY):

  • Marriott Marquis
  • 1 WTC
  • Millennium by Hilton Hotel
  • W Times Square
  • Westin Times Square

Meadowlands area:

  • Courtyard by Marriott Secaucus Meadowlands
  • Courtyard by Marriott Lyndhurst Meadowlands
  • Residence Inn by Marriott Secaucus Meadowlands
  • La Quinta Inn Secaucus Meadowlands
  • Renaissance Newark Airport
  • Renaissance Lyndhurst Meadowlands
  • Meadowlands View Hotel

New Brunswick / Piscataway:

  • Embassy Suites Piscataway
Please note that I cannot promise anything; however, #FRIRND posts will be flying onto #FRIRND on Google+, so be sure to take a look at those when new updates are available.

As for Pittsburgh, I am grinding my teeth hoping it happens, if it doesn't, at least I made a big accomplishment this past weekend.

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
