How It’s Made … Scissor lifts

Posted on by Ian C.

On US television there’s a program called How It’s Made – actually the program is made in Canada! Anyway, they did a “how it’s made” on Scissor Lift vehicles a while ago, and the filming is at Skyjack which is near Toronto in Canada, and is one of PG Trionic’s customers (where I work, in case you didn’t know!)

The video is available online, and interesting to watch if you’ve always wondered what I do … unfortunately none of the products I work on are featured, but we create the electronic systems that control these vehicles:

Back to Seaworld and Disney

We had another trip to Disney … we returned to Seaworld and WOW it was busy! We also spent a day in Magic Kingdom with our neighbours Joanne & Earle, who happened to be down for the same week …

Pictures from Seaworld:

 

Then another day, we headed over to Space Mountain (in Disney Magic Kingdom) for a ride; it’s a roller coaster in the dark and Margaret doesn’t like it! Joanne wanted to ride Space Mountain but not on her own, and Earle doesn’t like it either. So Joanne and I rode the scary ride 🙂

We also did Splash Mountain (with Joanne well wrapped to keep her dry while the rest of us got soaked!); the Thunder Mountain roller coaster, and another performance of the Gloucester Docksiders:

Also from Gloucester …

On our recent weekend in Florida, we were “joined” by neighbours Joanne and Earle, who happened to be down there this weekend too! They visited our new house and shared the pool, we also met them at Downtown Disney and in Magic Kingdom.
In both places, there were a number of other “Gloucester’ites” too – the local school band The Docksiders performed twice (Monday evening at Downtown Disney, and Tuesday lunchtime in TomorrowLand in Magic Kingdom!) … a few pics, not great because I left my “real” camera in the car so used my cellphone!
