It feels like this year was a catch up year in many ways for some reason, despite the fact there were many opportunities to go places last year.
There were some notable things that happened 1. West Nebraska Hall at UNL got modded. This was something that was seen as inevitable and it has now happened. 2. A freight elevator was modded. The Scott Engineering Center freight elevator at UNL had its motor, inner gates, and button panel replaced and now the doors are fully automatic. 3. I got to travel to some new and unique places and added some new states to my list of places to have filmed, including Oklahoma, Indiana, and Ohio. I didn't stop and film in Illinois for some reason, but I might consider a trip to Chicago at some point. 4. I think I filmed more elevators this year than any other year. 5. Things, especially gas prices, have gotten noticeably more expensive. This has predictably made road tripping for elevators a challenge. While I was able to get in two good quality road trips this year, I foresee the need to cut back. There will be some significant changes coming for 2022: 1. I will be retiring and deleting my Dailymotion channel. I have found myself neglecting it and any of the videos that I have posted have gotten maybe 6 views, most of which were me watching it. There were a few videos that were made specifically for Dailymotion, and I'm not sure what I want to do with them yet. I will probably transfer them to Youtube, but that is still TBD. 2. I have decided to create a channel on Rumble. In the rare case that I should have issues with YouTube, I would like to have somewhere to go and get back up and running immediately. I am NOT leaving YouTube! I am only copying my channel to Rumble. Oh, and I have posted some of my earliest elevator videos on Rumble that have never been posted on YouTube! 3. Due to the rising cost of food and gas, especially gas, there will be no road trips this year. 2022 will most likely be a year here I search deeper into places I have already covered and find new elevators in the cities and states I have made videos in already. I might make one road trip depending on how the chips fall. |
