What to expect for the 2nd half of the year

The first half of 2018 has definitely been an interesting half of the year. During the first quarter of 2018 alone, I managed to start the year right by filming epic lifts with character! My takeaway favorites from 2018 so far was the entrance lift at the IKEA home furnishings store in Elizabeth & the 50-story Montgomery lifts at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. With that being said, let's take a look at what the 2nd half of the year could look like.

Expect 1 or more visits to Secaucus in the fall

I have not been aBLE TO to get perfect takes of the lifts in the Embassy Suites hotel SINCE December 2016, on my first visit to Secaucus. This Autumn, I want to pick a day where the lifts will theoretically be less busy, and if worst comes to worst, I hope I can get the opportunity to film the staff only lift for the first time to avoid the traffic on the glass lift. If I go to Elizabeth, PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO GO TO THE HILTON! I AM NOT FILMING A LIFT WITH EPCO SSL FIXTURES WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF IT IS IN THE CHARLOTTE KINGDOM! If I ever face a situation where I'm in a set of lifts where some lifts have Monitor TR and others have EPCO SSL, I will ONLY film the lifts that have Monitor TR! It's that simple!

If I like Elizabeth, expect me to visit 1 or 2 more times in the fall to re-film lifts

It is no secret that I've already been riding lifts in that town more than six times in my life & have been equally impressed with any encounter. Of course, I will not film the lifts at the Hilton hotel because their lifts are Dover traction with EPCO SSL, making them the WORST LIFTS IN THE TOWN! I expect to have ridden at least ONE KONE MRL before 2018 is out! This means I SHOULD visit the Embassy Suites hotel in Newark Airport. You will not know in advance my plans for filming lifts.

What are my hopes for winter 2018?

For winter recess, I am hoping to visit 1 or 2 of the following that I didn't visit in the summer (to film lifts):
  • Hartford
  • Stamford
  • Atlantic City
  • Fort Lauderdale
  • LA
  • Pittsburgh
On December 16, a journal post containing plans for the first half of 2019 will be discussed, including a proposed 18th birthday weekend trip to Atlantic City. I do NOT want to stay in the Borgata hotel. I am perfectly fine with Harrah's as they have a slew of varieties of lifts to film. I am perfectly fine with Caesar's as they have a pretty neat selection of different kinds of lifts to film, including some MRL's from the 1990s. I am happy to go to the Tropicana, Showboat and Bally's anyday as they have EPIC selections of lifts to film!

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...
