It's good to be back after a few weeks, I missed you guys and gals. I also appreciate all the emails I received of support from so many of you letting me know much you enjoy the show each week and that you've missed it. I heard from not only those of you in the US but in the UK, Germany, Saudi Arabia and Canada. Now that to me is pretty cool to know that the show reaches such a large audience worldwide. I'll talk a little more about what I've been up to which I hope will help set many of your minds at ease. We've got a $100 Visa Gift Card we're giving away today and have a ton of content to get through so grab a cup of joe or beverage of your choice and enjoy.

Back from Atlanta, and have a full report on the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation Annual General Meeting. Great to see the everyone who attended. While I was only in for the one day meeting I’ve got a general report to give on the important items that you should know. Other than that, we’ve got a good show today with some pretty interesting articles. As always, thanks for tuning in and for sharing the links of the program with your coworkers and friends.

I had a blast presenting and was surprised at what I learned.  I’ll share that on the show today.

Looks as that will be my vacation for the summer.  Stay cool, drink lots of liquids and make sure you take time for vacation before summer runs out!  The kiddies will be headed back to school before you know it!
