It’s nice to be back in the saddle again after a chilly wet vacation in the Northwood’s of Wisconsin.  The trouble with taking a week off is that the number of news stories that are online are too many to go through, still 94 in my inbox to review for next weeks show. Some very important stories on the show which will surprise the heck out of you! Plus we’re giving away a coffee pack from the Backroads Coffee Shop in Hayward Wisconsin where they roast their own coffee beans.  I ran on a pot of this a day last week on my vacation.  Enjoy the show everyone!

Thanks to the following companies who have donated goodies to our end of the month prize pack! Fujitec America, GAL, The National Association of Elevator Contractors, The National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities, The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, COMPANY SRL, Peelle, C.J. Anderson, Truxes, EMS Group, Elevator Bob’s Elevator Pictures, Minnesota Elevator, ElevatorGear.com, ElevatorShack.com, ElevatorU.org & Elevator World Magazine.
