WHAT’S HAPPENING FOR THANKSGIVING

As of right now, we are supposed to be going to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving, but at this point, due to lack of discussion about going to LA, I have reasonable cause to believe that we are fortunately not going to Los Angeles this Thanksgiving. Of course, I am NOT excited at ALL to go to Los Angeles after how AC went down back in August 2018. However, if we do end up going to Los Angeles during Thanksgiving weekend, I will continuously monitor the quality of the trip, from the second we are still preparing for the trip while still in Clinton Township , to the time the final day is over & we step foot back home in Clinton Township . If this proposed trip goes better than the July 2017 trip to Atlantic City (which was the best trip within the CRS [Carolina Ranking System]), then I may consider putting Atlantic City or Hartford back on the consideration list for my birthday in February 2019. Filming lifts is NOT REQUIRED for a trip in the CRS to be of high quality. I am signing off ...

Plans for my YouTube Channel during May-June 2019

In History class, a giant movie project for the end of the year has been announced to the curriculum for my advanced Modern American History class. While I am not particularly excited for this project, I am certainly going to make it my full priority to get the highest grade on that project. Therefore, because of this, I may have to leave YouTube for a month & a half in order to concentrate on grades, schoolwork & other graduation requirements. Please note that this is still 7 months away & I still have more than enough time to plan out my time away from YouTube during May 2019. Here are my current plans: May 1st: Make a formal announcement stating I will be leaving YouTube until 6.15.2019 (This does not mean I won’t be filming lifts, though). May 8: Put lift filming career on hold in order to focus fully on any & all final projects May 15: Begin studying for final exams in classes where I do not have A-marks for the entire year (I will devote extra time to the...

October 27 will hold some of the most intriguing revisions to the CCRS!

Over Columbus Day weekend, I have pre-made some PRETTY SIGNIFICANT changes, additions, revisions & improvements to the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System, including adding new cities, new areas & new bands to make trip planning a lot easier. New rules All cities where the name is partially or fully in the area/band on the interactive map are  automatically considered a RANKED CITY   on the CCRS & will hold the SAME RANKING as the name of the highest directly ranked city on the band’s NAME. However, this doesn’t apply to RMT bands, connector bands, or area joints. For example, as of October 27,  LANCASTER will be in the Philadelphia/Pittsburgh band. Because Pittsburgh is the name of the highest ranked city on the band’s name, Lancaster & all other cities, towns & townships which have their displayed name fall partially or fully in the band will hold the same placement as PITTSBURGH does! Anyway, Lancaster has mostly GOOD LIFTS. However, if mult...

Columbus Day weekend POSSIBLE LIFT FILMING ITINERARY, with a possible lift filming itinerary during NJEA

YAIAO FOLKS! This time I am writing to inform y’all about a possible short lift filming itinerary that may possibly take place this weekend in Monmouth County , a to-be new addition to the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System as of October 27. WLB Borough That’s right, I will be going to the WLB Borough on October 7 for a college tour at Monmouth University. Depending on how interested I am or how willing I am to ride the lifts, I may attempt to take a picture of one or two of 1 of the lifts & share it on Google+ (Atlantic City left a bitter taste in my desire to film lifts outside of Clinton Township on non-solo trips anyway). I currently have NO SPECIFIC plans to film lifts anywhere in Monmouth County, I just hope to get one snapshot of ONE of the lifts I encounter if I encounter any lifts during my college tour. NJEA Convention As for NJEA, I have no specific itinerary for filming ANY LIFTS outside of Clinton & Bridgewater Townships. There may be a possibility I will be vi...

List of personal terms used when filming lifts (ON ELEVATORPEDIA)

CRAPCOIZED A term used by several lift enthusiasts to describe a horrible EPCO modernization, preferably on otherwise vintage lifts or when a modernization involves a very bland EPCO fixture, e.g. EPCO SSL CRINGEOVATED A term used by several lift enthusiasts in North America to describe a horrible modernization where Innovation was used to replace original lift buttons TASTEFULLY MODERNISED A term used by multiple lift enthusiasts, including DieselDucy to describe a lift which received a “nice” modernisation in where the original charm was not disturbed during the upgrade. Some examples of tasteful lift modernizations on vintage lift include CJ Anderson VR, GAL VR, Innovation Bruiser, or EPCO WGH halo buttons. The term has been popularized by many lift enthusiasts. HORNRTDISC A term used by a few lift enthusiasts , including tkefan29, Floridan Elevators & AP Lifts of Clinton Township by MagicalLift256, to describe a KONE EcoDisc lift that is either very fast, loud, or cl...
