Atlanta-Pittsburgh update 3/11

We are beginning to see nearly certain doubts.

Pittsburgh

Due to my move across Hunterdon County NJ, it is swaying off the possibility of us going to PITTSBURGH Pennsylvania! Other contributing factors to the decline of our likelihood of going to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania include school being extended into spring recess (blame your best friend Mother Nature for this) & other school events going on during April 1 - 5.

Looking back at the past few several since December 31st, I am now having extreme doubts Pittsburgh is happening. I'm starting to see better odds of me just filming some lifts throughout Clinton & Flemington NJ.

The probability of Pittsburgh happening is about as low as the probability of Atlanta happening at this point (1%). Any city ranking high in the Charlotte Kingdom (1 to 8) that is not in NJ or Connecticut is bound to have a downhill trend!

Atlanta

If you ask me to post the verdict right now, I would probably be able to give you a near certain guaranteed verdict at this point. While it certainly doesn't look like we could be going, there is still a slight possibility of 1%. And if I, for say, end up being ABLE to go to Atlanta, I will most likely not be filming the same lifts that most lift photographers generally tend to go for. Instead, I will try to adopt a special technique where I go from lowest to highest, but I will try to hold off on the taller buildings (21 floors or higher) until the end of the trip, if Atlanta happens this year.

Expect our likelihood of going to Atlanta to stay below the 3% threshold until I start getting positive feelings from discussions about it.

Atlantic City

I know I will not be bringing AC updates until June 3rd at 8:45 AM, but it is important for me to note that the probability of us going to AC this summer is slightly above the 45% threshold, meaning that there is a good possibility we might be going to Atlantic City this summer anyway, with our top candidate hotel being the Tropicana at 45% likely to stay there! While these are vague details, the July 1st verdict will bring slightly specific details based my February 2018 trip to Atlantic City, but they will ONLY BE IDEAS, NOT PLANS! When the term "Charlotte" starts being associated with our trip plans, references to past trips are ONLY IDEAS!

The general idea is, expect us not to go to Atlanta or Pittsburgh as these will become possible options for the graduation trip in 2019.

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...
