This dance is performed by MacKenna who is a friend of mine. I think she did a great job! I hope you all get a blessing out of this.

Thank You for 6 Million Views Dedicated to Diesel Ducy
Today, my YT channel went over the 6 million views mark. Thank you to all of my viewers and subscribers for this milestone. I would like to dedicate this video to Diesel Ducy because he is the one that got me to start my own YT Channel back in 2009 and he also recently sent me a 16th birthday package that had something in it that means a lot to me and I am so thankful that the Lord brought Andrew into my life. I first got to meet him in 2010 and through out the years we have become great friends and so I hope you enjoy this video special that celebrates that friendship. First we will take a trip down memory lane to 2009 of how my YT channel came to be and then we will end with the unboxing of the 16th birthday gift from Diesel Ducy. The iPhone vertical/horizontal sensor got stuck while filming that unboxing video and we didn't realize it until I started to edit it into this video celebration. The unboxing was filmed horizontally but the first part of it shows it vertical then eventually goes horizontally but when that happens the screen size gets kinda small but is still viewable. I know we could of have done a retake on unboxing but I wanted to include original unboxing video so I just went with what we had. I hope you all enjoy this video & thanks again to Diesel Ducy for just being you and to all my viewers and subscribers. You all are the best!2016-02-15 02:15:06

10 Year Dream Coming True: Foggy Point Light
This is a book that my dad has had the idea for about 10 years but didn't do anything with it until about 3 years ago when he sat down and started writing. It is finished and will be released this coming Wednesday, January 27th, 2016. Be sure to go to the ā€ˇFoggy Point Light Facebook & Twitter pages at https://www.facebook.com/FoggyPoint-L... https://twitter.com/foggypointlight so you can get all the latest details about this new book. You can also download the first chapter for free from the website at http://www.foggypointlight.com/ Foggy Point Light - Where the past is about to catch up with the future.
The lighthouse has stood on the south end of Green Island for almost a century and a half. It's been vacant for the last 8 decades, with few that know it's history even wanting to venture there. The entire south end of the island, including the lighthouse, has been virtually untouched for the past 20 years since the US Coast Guard sealed it off. And the island has had a peaceful existence for that time, almost forgetting the disappearances that occurred there almost 40 years ago. The island's tourists come and go each year, and the residents don't talk much about the mysteries surrounding the lighthouse anymore. It stands almost forgotten, covered over by time. Many feel that it's best left alone.
But the peace and tranquility that the island has enjoyed for so many years is all about to end. Dan Nelson, a technology executive from Cincinnati, has just purchased the lighthouse from the government, and is planning to restore it and live there with his family. He's read of the unexplained events that occurred around the lighthouse, and even heard warnings from local residents. Still, with several of his closest friends, and his family, he's determined to embark on this adventure and solve the mysteries surrounding the lighthouse. Will he discover the secrets that have been locked away for decades, or will he or his family become the next unexplained disappearance? Will he heed the warnings that he's been given? "Whatever you do, DON'T GO INTO THE FOG".

This video is for Jim Li Elevators who I was going to finally get to meet up with at the Hampton Inn Tunnel Road over my Christmas break but Jim got sick the night before our meet up so he didn't make it up to Asheville this time but maybe one day we will get a chance to meet.

A Dollywood Dream More Resort Christmas
Merry Christmas Everyone. Dollywood Dream More Resort is celebrating their very first Christmas season this year. We started off our Christmas week with a mini get away to TN to enjoy a Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood & DreamMore. This video has a photo slide show of the Christmas decorations at Dream More Resort plus a video tour of our suite which was slightly different than the one we had back in the fall. For a full hotel tour of DW's DMR (which was filmed on my fall break) you can click on this link https://youtu.be/AU8kUad4ioA For more Christmas photos we took at Dollywood plus Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, you can click on FB photo album https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...2015-12-25 00:49:40

Comfort Inn & Suites in Pigeon Forge, TN
For my subscribers this Christmas Eve, I decided to upload several videos of the hotels we stopped at on our way out of Pigeon Forge, TN from our little mini Christmas get away. On Christmas day, I will be uploading some video footage from Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas highlights as well as the suite tour of the suite we stayed in this time at Dollywood's Dream More Resort, It's kind of similar but different than the one we stayed in October for fall break which that one is featured in the video of the full hotel tour of Dream More already uploaded to my YT channel so stay tuned for more uploads today and tomorrow. My way of saying thanks for watching and I wish each and every one of you a blessed Christmas celebration with your family and friends. Take a moment to remember the ones that might be hurting this Christmas season from losing a loved one, are sick or serving our country elsewhere in the world. Christmas can be a hard time for some so please take a moment to say a prayer for these.2015-12-24 00:49:39

My YouTube Channel's 6th Anniversary Video Celebration
To celebrate my YT Channel 6th's Anniversary, I put together this video celebration which includes a mini recap of some memory lane moments from this hobby of mine plus an ecoshine car wash video and a Tesseract Adventure power point presentation project that a friend & I worked on together from our reading novel of A Wrinkle In Time at school this unit and I end off this video celebration with a ride on the Dover Elevator located in The Huntersville Inn and Suites Hotel (aka the former Sleep Inn hotel in Huntersville, NC) which this elevator may be in danger of being modded as they are renovating a lot of the hotel. Thanks to all my viewers and subscribers for joining me on this journey and I hope you enjoy this video celebration special. Special note: on power point presentation segment, there may be sometimes when you will need to pause the video to read the wording in a particular frame and then sometimes the power point video converter tended to move it slow but for the most part I think it came out alright in this video version. Our original project was in power point and my dad helped me find a video converter program to convert PP into video format so I could include it in this video celebration for ya'll. Again, thanks for watching!2015-11-30 00:49:38

Requested Video: Private Trolley Ride from Dollywood to Dream More Resort
Back in August, I had uploaded the Dream More Trolley Ride to Dollywood which was taken on opening day of the resort. Someone had emailed me on Facebook and asked if I had any footage of the trolley from Dollywood to DreamMore so on my fall break when we stayed at Dream More, we filmed the trolley ride from DW to DM. I also added a bonus beginning of our arrival at the Dollywood VIP entrance for Dream More Resort guests. On our trip back to Dream More we got a private ride back which I thought that was kind of neat. You also get a great view of the resort coming in the gates. Hope you enjoy it Todd.

Room Safe Reprogrammed After Being Locked Out
This is a bonus clip from my full hotel tour at Dollywood's Dream More Resort video but thought I would upload it as a single video also because some who are interested in safes might not be interested in watching a hotel tour. The previous occupants of the King Junior Suite we stayed in had not undone their safe combination so we had to get customer service to come and use his master reset tool to unlock the safe for us to use.2015-11-04 00:49:36

Full Hotel Tour of Dolly Parton's Dollywood's DreamMore Resort
Here is a full hotel tour of Dream More Resort located just next door to Dollywood and Splash Country in Pigeon Forge, TN which just opened this past summer. We have already uploaded several videos of it from opening day and now since we stayed here during my fall break, here is my complete full hotel tour of the resort which also includes a look at the hotel's restaurant, Song & Hearth which we ate there twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. Plus the DM Pantry, Game Room, Fitness Center, Indoor and outdoor pool areas. Also, enjoy both daytime and nighttime views of the resort. The hotel has an upper lobby and a lower lobby plus a whole wing of conference & meeting rooms. Dolly Parton's Time Capsule was put into it's special spotlight place in the resort while we were staying there so that is another highlight that is also included in this tour. A collection of photos we took of the resort can be found at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...

Halloween Special: What a Hotel Looks Like When Power Goes Out
On one of my recent stays at a local Hampton Inn when my Pop-Pop flew in from Utah, there was a power outage which was a unique experience for me because that's never happen to me while I've stayed at a hotel before so we decided to film what the hotel looked like with just the emergency lights on. The outage lasted roughly about an hour give or take a few minutes I believe, not sure what caused it but it affected everyone for about a block down the street from what I heard. Special thanks to JP, John & Alex along with the Hampton Inns both in Cornelius and Huntersville for everything! You really know how to spread the Hamptonality! :)2015-10-31 00:49:35

Hampton Inn & Suites Full Hotel Tour Dobson, NC
This Hampton & Suites full hotel tour video is dedicated to Jonathan Mayse which the dedication is mentioned towards the end of the video. Jonathan, thanks for following me on Facebook and I hope you like the video. This video features some of the pictures we took of this hotel back a couple of years ago and then video has footage of newer renovations done to the hotel. We stayed at this hotel when we attended Mayberry Days this year in Mt. Airy, NC. My dad had won tickets (on a Facebook Contest) to the Jeff & Sheri Easter (with Easter Brothers) concert at the Mount Airy High School during Mayberry Days so I put a few photos of that occasion within the video also (when we start the room tour) to commemorate that fact. This Hampton is a Connie Award Winner Hampton Inn & Suites which is pretty impressive! If you like Barney Fife on Andy Griffith Show, towards the end of the video there's a little preview of the talking Hallmark Christmas Ornament of Barney which I had in my pocket and accidentally had hit the play button so thanks for watching and hope you enjoy this hotel tour in Dobson, NC.

For Wyatt: Keep Up The Good Work & Enjoy A Blast From The Past
I wanted to dedicate this video to Wyatt who's been recovering from an extensive surgery and he's been working really hard getting back on his feet. Wyatt, I'm thankful that you are doing so great and I just wanted to say keep up the great work little buddy! This is a blast from the past video compilation of some videos I found on a card the other day which I believe these were from 2012 and some of them are individually already uploaded to YT but some of my newer subscribers may have not seen them yet and I thought it would be neat to make a collage video of these old videos which highlight different brands of elevators and there's even an escalator in the bunch.2015-08-29 19:51:33

Otis Elevators at Comfort Suites in Kodak, TN
Corrected version of this video. Previous version which I just deleted had the wrong Comfort Suites picture. When I was editing the video, I had put the CS in Strawberry Plains with this video but then after I uploaded the video, I realized I had the wrong photo. Only thing changed was the actual photo at the start of the video. This was one of our stops on our recent trip to TN. Overall, very nice elevator although it did have a pretty loud fan in this one. The decor of the wall and panel matched up real well together. For more info on this hotel, check out their website at http://kodakcomfortsuites.com/2015-08-15 19:51:29

Dover Elevator in Parking Deck of Marriott Downtown Knoxville
This had a vintage vertical floor indicator on the ground level outside the elevator but didn't see it working. This elevator really didn't have a Dover buzz but it did chime at least once or twice. The directional indicators were working. We did a quiet ride on our 2nd trip up. If you look you can tell that the inside vertical indicator had been taken out in this one. I think it's interesting that the parking deck which is located right to the side of the hotel has a Dover and inside the hotel itself with the service elevator having series Otis 1 fixtures & I believe modded Otis Lobby elevators.

Great Downtown Views of Knoxville from Scenic Elevators at Marriott
These give a great view of downtown Knoxville, TN & the atrium of the Marriott hotel. They also have a unique shape to them. I believe these are modded Otis Elevators. An extra bonus is we actually got to ride the service elevator down from the 11th floor & it is a Otis Series 1, we didn't really get a cab view of the service elevator due to the service cart but that was OK we did get views of the floor indicator and the fixtures & it was a neat ride down so thanks for the invitation to ride down together in that one.

Happy Birthday to My Mom
Today is my mom's birthday so this is a birthday video card for her. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you! The church is something that we came across at The Depot at Gibson Mill this past weekend when we were out celebrating her birthday early by spending the day together with family doing things she likes to do which we had gone to eat lunch at an old fashion diner (Punchy's) and then exploring all afternoon at The Depot. She likes to collects country churches, so it made for the perfect gift for me to give her. The Depot at Gibson Mill is a neat place to explore. I have done a video of the Westbrook freight elevator they have there which you can find here at this link https://youtu.be/lPG6UCGuxmM For more info on the Depot, check out their website at http://www.depotgibsonmill.com/

We were curious to see if this would have a Dover Impulse elevator and we were right. The file for this video got corrupted or something because it wasn't playing right at the point of the ride going down from 3 to 1 when I was in the process of putting it together so you may see a glitch or two at that point in the video but for the most part it seems like it processed ok.

Dover Impulse Elevator at Hampton Inn Oak Ridge, TN
I remember seeing a tweet on twitter sometime ago from this Hampton Inn that said they were a cozy 60 room Hampton Inn & I had replied back asking what kind of elevator they have to which they tweeted back saying great ones, come by & check them out so that is what we did when we were in the area and I have to agree with them, they do have great elevators. They also have something in their fitness center that I have not seen in other fitness centers before which you will see what that is in the video. :) For more info on this nice Hampton Inn in the Secret City, check out their links below: http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hote...

TKE Elevators at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Island Hotel Pigeon Forge, TN
This video shows 3 of the ThyssenKrupp elevators at this hotel. We didn't really get a tour as this place was a bit busy but we do show a little bit of the lobby and hallways. It's an interesting hotel to explore. It has long hallways with turns that just never seem to end. Each room has a balcony that either overlooks the village of shops that they have built at the Island or the river.

Full Hotel Tour After Lobby Renovations of Hampton Inn & Suites
On our recent trip to TN, we kind of did a hotel hop stay. The first one we stayed at is the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Knoxville. We had visited this hotel on one of our previous visits & met the GM Anita Lane & got a full hotel tour at that time but since then they have renovated the lobby & redid the fitness center so we decided to do an updated hotel tour for ya'll. Special thanks to Anita, Cody & all the fine staff at this Hampton Inn & Suites which I must say is on my list of all time favorite Hamptons.

Classic Talking Dover Elevator with Vertical Floor Indicator
This was a neat find. The hotel seems to be under renovations in parts. Not sure if there are plans to mod these or not. Kind of interesting because hotel seems to be two buildings merged into one and lobby is at entrance but elevators to get to the room floors are in the very back. You walk through a long hallway and come to conference area then pool and fitness center then continue walking through more of a hallway before coming to the elevators. http://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/...2015-08-01 00:42:17

Otis Series 7 Gen2 Elevator with ReGen Drives at Home2
A brand new Home2 in Knoxville, West has the really nice Otis Series 7 Gen2 Elevators. Special thanks to GM Bobby Howard for letting us come and tour his newest hotel. I first met Bobby up in Huntington, WV when he was the manager of the Hampton Inn that I had the honor of being a guest speaker at their Grand Opening ceremony. Bobby also has actually asked me to be at the Home2's Grand Opening coming up very soon but due to my High School orientation schedule conflict, I will not be able to attend that ceremony but we will be featuring this Home2 on my website for Bobby & his Home2 team. Here is the first of several videos that we made during our recent stay at this great new hotel.

Interstate Inn in Roland, Oklahoma I-40 Exit 325
My former preschool teacher is on a cross country road trip and she has been sharing photos of that trip. They stayed at a very nice American owned motel in OK and she gave me permission to share her photos with ya'll. This motel kind of has a neat feature that most hotels have gotten away from...Thanks Mrs. Ellen for sharing. It's neat to see places like this. Her statement about this place "Wish there were more than one of these - wonderful, homey, vintage place to stay, complete with actual keys kept in cubbyholes behind the front desk, the world's strongest shower, and the sweetest, friendliest staff you'd ever want to see. If you are ever in the area, stay here." Their info is located below & at end of video.

Schindler Elevator at Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine
Here is the very nice and quiet Schindler elevator at the office where my VP Shunt doctor is at. We were there for a yearly check up of my VP Shunt that I have and they used to have this elevator locked off for only staff to use but now they have changed departments around in the building & now the elevator is open for the public to ride as well so we took a ride on it today after my appointment. We had a little boy ride with us but then decided he had changed his mind about riding the elevator.2015-06-23 23:13:06

For Ryan Okpych: NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC
For Father's Day, I took my dad & grandfather to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. We got the High Octane tour that along with your admission to the museum exhibits, you get lunch at the Pit Stop Cafe & one simulator ride plus a NASCAR Hall of Fame Lanyard. It was a fun but tiring day. My Papa is the main one who loves the sport of racing but both my dad & I found the museum to be rather interesting and would highly recommend it if you are ever in Charlotte.

A Tour on Top of the Roof of Biltmore Estate ( Specialty: Roof Tour )
Best viewed in theater mode. We were in Asheville this week & were given 3 free passes to Biltmore Estate which had come from a Hampton Inn guest who had purchased three 2 day passes & something came up that they needed to get home & wouldn't be able to use the tickets for the 2nd day as planned. We decided to take the roof top tour while we were at Biltmore which the nice thing about this tour is that while you are outside up on the roof, you can take pictures and video. One of the neat things we saw on the roof besides the great views was the top of the elevator shaft of the historic Otis elevator! There is still no video or picture taking allowed actually inside the house which part of the roof top tour takes place on the top floor inside the house (which is not part of the regular house tour) which was really neat to see. We even had to climb a small tricky spiral staircase in the observatory room to go to the windows where we exit out onto the roof. This video is a combination of pictures & videos we took while out on the roof. After our tour, we decided to get an early dinner at the Stable Cafe which even though it was near closing time, the staff were very friendly & the food was tasty as always. Bonus footage of a close up view of the exterior elevator shaft windows which if you look carefully, you can see the cables inside :) For more info on the tours offered at Biltmore Estate, check out their website at http://www.biltmore.com/visit/things-...2015-06-17 23:13:05
