Excerpt from last Wednesday’s journal post:

If all circumstances play in my favor, then my next lift filming days will be May 25 and 26 (but not May 27). This will happen if I either get no homework for the weekend or I finish all my potential weekend homework on May 24, in addition to studying for any pre-planned tests for the week after and finishing all weekend project tasks on May 24. It will be a NO-STUDYING weekend for final exams. In order for it to happen, ALL of the following circumstances must apply:

Circumstance A: I must have FEWER THAN 2 pre-planned tests that are NO MORE than 50 POINTS EACH with a difficulty of no higher than 3 taking place the next week, in addition to having at most ONE project worth at most 100 points and with a difficulty of at most 3.

Circumstance B: I must have a 93.20 OR HIGHER (or an A in general) for at least four classes that I have CONSISTENTLY been scoring “A” marks on the report cards for the previous 3 marking periods in a row.

Circumstance C: I must currently be exempt from at least four final exams by that point as of that date, with at least TWO of those classes being graduation requirements.

Circumstance D: My worst grade as of that date for a graduation requirement must be a “B”.

Which circumstances have I achieved between last Wednesday and this Wednesday?

Between last week and now, I have achieved circumstances B, C and D. Circumstance A will be unknown until the weekend of May 24.

Am I in ship-shape to go lift filming?

As of now, I am in ship-shape, but I may not be by the time May 24 looms around.

The weekend of June 1

So far, it doesn’t look like I will be filming any lifts throughout that weekend.

And as for the likelihood of graduating, there is only a 50% chance of it happening and that’s only assuming the best case scenario. So as of right now, the final marking period report card will tell me if I have graduated from high school or not. I am hoping to receive a verdict on that between June 13 at 3:30 PM and June 17 at 6:45 AM. Y FRIRD? I have no idea.

Other plans

A countdown timer will be up on either one of the websites as well.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

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...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
