I think this might be a first on the show that we’re actually recording on Halloween. Lots to cover as we talk news, ebay and give away a home brewing beer kit! What more could you ask for….maybe a bag full of candy if you were a kid. Anyway, have a great Halloween and thanks for tuning in to the show today!

Lots and lots of news to talk about today everyone. As much as I could use a week off from the world that just isn’t going to happen. We have some good news stories on the show today worthy of talking about. Plus a funny or not so funny story about the weekend concerning a mouse that got into our house. Some good advice for those of you who have mouse problems. NAESA is in Chicago (Northbrook) this week and has an excellent training workshop scheduled!

Is there a full moon this week? This is the first show out of ninety that reports of three people have fallen down elevator shafts….one with a tragic ending. As Elevator Escalator Safety Week approaches think of ways that you can promote it in your neck of the woods. It could be as easy as including a brochure with your invoices, offering to educate your customers on proper elevator and escalator usage, or you could make a donation to the EESF. Start thinking now about how you can make a difference. The bottom line is that if you have anything to do with elevators in your name, then please step up to the plate and do your part to promote education. Okay, now off my soap box. We’ve got great news this week everyone. Stay tuned here it comes!

A nice news story filled show today everyone. I got back from the Northwoods of Wisconsin this past Sunday after a quick trip….and yes I enjoyed my fill of beer, brats and cheese…thanks for asking. I also had a run in with the law over on the way up which was not a big deal but one I’d like to share. Two stories worth reading about and I’ll cover them on the show. I forgot to mention the upcoming MESA Safety Seminar that’s being held next week. Please click here for more information. If you are interested in attending, going or donating goodies do so today!

I hope everyone likes the new website. We spent much of the weekend transferring all the data to the new layout and really like it. I apologize for the small print but it’s part of the design. Take a look around and enjoy. If you’ve got an issue or think something should be added just let me know. What’s great about the site is that you all can leave comments regarding shows or stories or whatever. Plus this new site is a blogging site which makes comments from the peanut gallery (me) easier to post. We’ve got a good show for you today so stay tuned here it comes!
