The FINAL LA VERDICT

I am sorry to break it to you FRIRNDS, but the sad reality is, we are unfortunately not going to LA! I know you guys are definitely extremely devastated, especially the ones looking forward to me filming lifts in one of my favorite Charlotte-like U.S. cities. I know you guys think it's unfair & you're probably disappointed, but the good news is, I could now use this heck of a failure as fuel for plans for future trips to Los Angeles, like the one I'm currently brainstorming for when my high school graduation comes around. You guys are probably very very upset about this & I totally understand your feelings & grieving for it. Here's what you COULD do:

  • Legitimately spam #FRIRND on Google+ with questions about other plans I have in place for this Christmas. I am giving you my permission to flood the hashtag with your questions SO MUCH that I will be able to respond to multiple at once with short, specific answers.
  • Look at YouTube for upcoming advent calendars.
  • Keep one eye on the EleFilm blog daily.
  • Look for any new event page on my main website. This new event page could be customized at ANY TIME between now & December 23rd.
As a result, there will be no more pre-blog posts regarding Los Angeles after this point. This means the December 17 post is canceled as well! My blogging schedule is no longer busy, which is a major plus, since that leaves me more room to focus on academics. The December 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 & 21 update blog posts have all been canceled due to this unfortunate time.

Alternative plans

Although we will not be going to LA this Christmas, I do have some plans for a 2-night road trip to Cromwell. There is a near certain possibility that is still happening to this day. If it does end up happening (which most likely it either will or will not), will most likely take place from December 23rd to December 25. If so, I AM NOT UPLOADING ANY DECEMBER CROMWELL CONTENT TO YOUTUBE UNTIL KWANZAA DAY AROUND 11:00 PM, if I am not filming any lifts whatsoever on Kwanzaa Day though. This is because I most likely will not be filming any lifts on Kwanzaa Day & I don't want to upload too early before the anniversary day.

Also, there is currently a 33 percent probability I might be going to Pittsburgh for one night on December 29 - December 30. If that happens, you will get a brief blog post about it once I start getting details of its happenings, but it may come up the day before the trip at the latest, if so. My plans are to film a Compass destination dispatch lift, a PORT lift, a Gen2 OR 3300 lift & / or a Miconic 10 lift in Pittsburgh. Any other lifts that I could film in Pittsburgh will become bonus treats, especially if I am able to find & film a 5500.

Stay alert

None of the details for anything mentioned above for the Christmas break is concrete until word about there happenings are heard. As for LA, that's no longer on the agenda books. Pout now, but that's the reality & I cannot do anything about it. However, while I will continue trying to make LA a possibility for my graduation trip, I cannot promise anything at the moment either & the probability of me visiting another Charlotte-like city during high school graduation besides Secaucus is at 10% right now.

The Cromwell update blog posts will pop up at random between now & December 22nd, or when new things pop up for it, such as hotel reservations, itineraries & possible times for lift filming.

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...
