I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was an enjoyable one! My family and I enjoyed our trip to Fort Meyers, Florida and more importantly are thankful for everything we have, health, family and friends. Things can change so quickly that you really need to live each day as it's your last. Some sad news here in Chicago as our industry losses a great man, Rory Dolan passed away this past Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rory was the kind of guy who really cared about the elevator industry and you could tell. He will be missed by many. Please consider signing his guest book through this link. I’m certain the Dolan Family would appreciate it.

As we head into an extended Thanksgiving Weekend this show by far has the most number of elevator related accidents that I've ever talked about. The accident in China where a lift plunged 34 floors killing 11 has to be one of the worst in the past two years while doing the show. As the news stories point out we have so much to be thankful for. For those of you out in the field please practice safety every day of the year and for the rest of us let's all take a moment to be thankful for what we have. On a more update note next week is our prize pack giveaway so listen to that show as you could be our November Prize Pack Winner! Have a nice Holiday everyone and safe travels to those who will be away from home. Give an extra hug to each one of your family members this Thanksgiving weekend. Calendar Links

vdayWow, I can't believe it's already November. Next week is Elevator Escalator Safety Week! If you're like me and love elevators and escalators make sure you're doing your part to ensure that kids and older adults are educated in riding them. There are many ways you can help, visit www.eesf.org today to learn about them. I want to thank all of you who have purchased items from our online store.  Your support helped us raise $500.00 which was sent to the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation last week!  We've got a great show for you today with some pretty important stories that you'll be the first to learn about, some of which just posted moments ago.  Also remember that this Sunday is Veterans Day. If you know a Veteran please thank them for serving our country.

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 this Fall. NAESAI 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 an elevator shaft....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 train 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!

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 short show for you everyone. Stay tuned here it comes!

Many of us are gearing up for the NAEC Convention next week in Atlantic City. I'm excited about it and look forward to seeing many of you at the show. This week there are two stories...one about Crocs and one about an elevator death in Canada that makes me wonder why we here in the United States or as an industry can't make improvements to how we learn from and prevent future elevator and escalator accidents from a occuring. That's my soapbox talk for the day. That and much more on today's program.

It's great to be back everyone! This show is very short due to an electrical storm that knocked out our DSL line just before the show was about to record. Thank goodness I clicked the save button before the storm came. On today's show there are 3-4 worth printing out. I wish I could have shared the e-mail comments and ebay stuff this week but it will have to wait until next week when we get back on line. Sorry for the technical difficulties. It's amazing how much this show needs the Internet. This is the second time in close to 2 years that our DSL has gone down on a Wednesday. Not too shabby if you ask me! Next weeks show will be more action packed than a G.I. Joe.

I need your help everyone! No not with a new computer...even though I do need this but I really need your help. I'll explain on the show today. Lots to talk about today as we skip over the ebay stuff this week to get caught up on the news of two weeks.  I need your help everyone!!! Please send Jessica Packard an e-mail at the Crocs Company and let her know that you read the article in the Washington Post about soft soled shoes. Ask her when the Crocs Company plans on supporting the EESF! Her contact information is as follows: Jessica Packard, 303-848-7197 jpackard@crocs.com  - If you have kids or grand kids they most likely are wearing these shoes. Crocs has a wonderful opportunity to support Escalator Safety!

Wow, lots of great feed back on last weeks interview with Joe Morrissey. I'll cover those in the front of the show and encourage more feed back from those who might not have had the chance to listen to the show. What do you think about elevator accidents? Can you relate the interview with what's happening in your state/city?  Back to our news format of the program everyone with elevator items on ebay for sale. If you've got vacations coming up have a great time. Thanks for tuning in everyone.

Great show today everyone. We'll be covering the weeks news stories relating to elevators and as a special treat have an interview to share. Special guest Joe Morrissey of Elevator Consulting Associates joins me on the show to talk about elevator accidents and what our industry needs to prevent future ones from happening. It's a topic that's been swept under the rug for a long time. We'd love to hear from you on this topic whether you're a mechanic, contractor, supplier or inspector.  Listen to the show and please share your comments with us via e-mail or voice mail, 206-666-2835! Calendar Links

We had a great time on the EESF Cruise last Wednesday and enjoyed seeing everyone at the NAEC Regional Seminar in Chicago.  The presenters did a great job and provided an excellent opportunity to ask real world questions from a technicians point of view.  Tomorrow is the 4th of July and a day off, which I can't wait for. For everyone listening in the USA have a safe and happy 4th! Remember next week I'll share interview with Joe Morrissey, the topic being Elevator Accidents. It's a show you won't want to miss. I'd like to take this time to thank everyone for listening and supporting the show by spreading the word to your industry friends and family. We also appreciate those of you out there who have purchased items from our on-line store. Every dollar of the profits for each item sold ($5) goes directly back to the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation.  Calendar Links

In the last two weeks we've had more accidents than we have had all year. This is an excellent time to look at how we investigate elevator accidents and the steps we need to take to make elevators safer. This will air the week after next and will be one you don't want to miss! Calendar Links

We're on the road this week at the Elevator U Conference at the University of Maryland. I'm having a great time and learning a lot. I'll share more about the event during next weeks show. Washington DC is a great place to visit and I recommend that if you haven't made the trip that you do sometime in your life. You can spend a week just visiting the Smithsonian alone. Due to a low signal WiFi connection here at the hotel I needed to put a shorter show out tonight that just includes the news. Next week we'll be back on track with comments, news and Ebay. I'll also talk a little more about this weeks Elevator U Conference and recap the event. I learned so much valuable information, it scared me. One quick note, keep an eye on your inbox. We have a special interview with an elevator consultant regarding elevator accidents. While you may not be surprised to hear what most of us feel, you will be surprised at what it's felt the immediate action should be. I'll keep everyone posted as to when that show will air. So much to talk about so little time. Thanks for tuning in everyone!Calendar Links

Lots to talk about on the show today everyone. Elevator News, Marketing Information and some great e-mails. There's one article that pretty much sets me off during the show which demands some attention. You'll have to listen to find out which one it is.  Next week we'll be at the Elevator U Conference and will attempt to put a regular show out if the Internet connection is speedy enough. If not we'll shorten the show so we can get it uploaded. June is here and it's busy. Those of you in the Midwestern Area if you haven't already signed up for the NAEC CEA Regional Education Seminar and EESF Cruise in Chicago it's right around the corner. Get your registration in today and don't wait till the last minute.  Thanks for tuning in everyone!

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the last two shows. You slammed our server with a record number of one day download totals, way to go! What this tells me is that I need to incorporate more interviews into the show.  I want to thank John O'Donohue and Terri Emmons for the their time in putting together both interviews. The feed back was very positive for both.  Some important news stories on the program today which you'll want to hear about plus we'll get back to elevator items and ebay this week. Next week we'll feature our marketing segment which will cover marketing materials and your business. Enjoy the show everyone.

On the show today we've got elevator news and an author. I had the opportunity to interview John O’Donoghue, coauthor of the new book, Elevator and Escalator Rescue a Comprehensive Guide. Not only a great book for firefighters it also is a great reference for any elevator professional. It truly provides a unique firefighters perspective on elevators and escalators. I was surprised at how much I learned from it. I’ll be giving a way a copy of it in Mays prize pack giveaway along with an emergency radio. Please take the time this Memorial Day to remember those soldiers who have lost their lives to defend our freedom. Also take the time to thank a veteran for serving. Calendar Links

Back from Atlanta I learn quite a bit from the speakers at NAVTP. Very enlightening stuff.  It was very enjoyable trip and I enjoyed talking with everyone. As with any trip the best part about going is coming home to family. I hope you like the new layout shown below. I've had many people mention that it's difficult to read the show links when they are all grouped together. Have a great rest of the week everyone. Thanks for tuning in.

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was an enjoyable one! My family and I enjoyed our trip to Fort Meyers, Florida and more importantly are thankful for everything we have, health, family and friends. Things can change so quickly that you really need to live each day as it's your last. Some sad news here in Chicago as our industry losses a great man, Rory Dolan passed away this past Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rory was the kind of guy who really cared about the elevator industry and you could tell. He will be missed by many. Please consider signing his guest book through this link. I’m certain the Dolan Family would appreciate it.

As we head into an extended Thanksgiving Weekend this show by far has the most number of elevator related accidents that I've ever talked about. The accident in China where a lift plunged 34 floors killing 11 has to be one of the worst in the past two years while doing the show. As the news stories point out we have so much to be thankful for. For those of you out in the field please practice safety every day of the year and for the rest of us let's all take a moment to be thankful for what we have. On a more update note next week is our prize pack giveaway so listen to that show as you could be our November Prize Pack Winner! Have a nice Holiday everyone and safe travels to those who will be away from home. Give an extra hug to each one of your family members this Thanksgiving weekend. Calendar Links

vdayWow, I can't believe it's already November. Next week is Elevator Escalator Safety Week! If you're like me and love elevators and escalators make sure you're doing your part to ensure that kids and older adults are educated in riding them. There are many ways you can help, visit www.eesf.org today to learn about them. I want to thank all of you who have purchased items from our online store.  Your support helped us raise $500.00 which was sent to the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation last week!  We've got a great show for you today with some pretty important stories that you'll be the first to learn about, some of which just posted moments ago.  Also remember that this Sunday is Veterans Day. If you know a Veteran please thank them for serving our country.

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 this Fall. NAESAI 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 an elevator shaft....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 train 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!

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 short show for you everyone. Stay tuned here it comes!

In this case the rule that there's no bad press fly's right out the window. We've got this, some great listener links and a winner in our monthly prize pack giveaway! That and much more on the show today!

Many of us are gearing up for the NAEC Convention next week in Atlantic City. I'm excited about it and look forward to seeing many of you at the show. This week there are two stories...one about Crocs and one about an elevator death in Canada that makes me wonder why we here in the United States or as an industry can't make improvements to how we learn from and prevent future elevator and escalator accidents from a occuring. That's my soapbox talk for the day. That and much more on today's program.

It's great to be back everyone! This show is very short due to an electrical storm that knocked out our DSL line just before the show was about to record. Thank goodness I clicked the save button before the storm came. On today's show there are 3-4 worth printing out. I wish I could have shared the e-mail comments and ebay stuff this week but it will have to wait until next week when we get back on line. Sorry for the technical difficulties. It's amazing how much this show needs the Internet. This is the second time in close to 2 years that our DSL has gone down on a Wednesday. Not too shabby if you ask me! Next weeks show will be more action packed than a G.I. Joe.

I need your help everyone! No not with a new computer...even though I do need this but I really need your help. I'll explain on the show today. Lots to talk about today as we skip over the ebay stuff this week to get caught up on the news of two weeks.  I need your help everyone!!! Please send Jessica Packard an e-mail at the Crocs Company and let her know that you read the article in the Washington Post about soft soled shoes. Ask her when the Crocs Company plans on supporting the EESF! Her contact information is as follows: Jessica Packard, 303-848-7197 jpackard@crocs.com  - If you have kids or grand kids they most likely are wearing these shoes. Crocs has a wonderful opportunity to support Escalator Safety!

Wow, lots of great feed back on last weeks interview with Joe Morrissey. I'll cover those in the front of the show and encourage more feed back from those who might not have had the chance to listen to the show. What do you think about elevator accidents? Can you relate the interview with what's happening in your state/city?  Back to our news format of the program everyone with elevator items on ebay for sale. If you've got vacations coming up have a great time. Thanks for tuning in everyone.

Great show today everyone. We'll be covering the weeks news stories relating to elevators and as a special treat have an interview to share. Special guest Joe Morrissey of Elevator Consulting Associates joins me on the show to talk about elevator accidents and what our industry needs to prevent future ones from happening. It's a topic that's been swept under the rug for a long time. We'd love to hear from you on this topic whether you're a mechanic, contractor, supplier or inspector.  Listen to the show and please share your comments with us via e-mail or voice mail, 206-666-2835! Calendar Links

We had a great time on the EESF Cruise last Wednesday and enjoyed seeing everyone at the NAEC Regional Seminar in Chicago.  The presenters did a great job and provided an excellent opportunity to ask real world questions from a technicians point of view.  Tomorrow is the 4th of July and a day off, which I can't wait for. For everyone listening in the USA have a safe and happy 4th! Remember next week I'll share interview with Joe Morrissey, the topic being Elevator Accidents. It's a show you won't want to miss. I'd like to take this time to thank everyone for listening and supporting the show by spreading the word to your industry friends and family. We also appreciate those of you out there who have purchased items from our on-line store. Every dollar of the profits for each item sold ($5) goes directly back to the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation.  Calendar Links

In the last two weeks we've had more accidents than we have had all year. This is an excellent time to look at how we investigate elevator accidents and the steps we need to take to make elevators safer.

We're on the road this week at the Elevator U Conference at the University of Maryland. I'm having a great time and learning a lot. I'll share more about the event during next weeks show. Washington DC is a great place to visit and I recommend that if you haven't made the trip that you do sometime in your life. You can spend a week just visiting the Smithsonian alone. Due to a low signal WiFi connection here at the hotel I needed to put a shorter show out tonight that just includes the news. Next week we'll be back on track with comments, news and Ebay. I'll also talk a little more about this weeks Elevator U Conference and recap the event. I learned so much valuable information, it scared me. One quick note, keep an eye on your inbox. We have a special interview with an elevator consultant regarding elevator accidents. While you may not be surprised to hear what most of us feel, you will be surprised at what it's felt the immediate action should be. I'll keep everyone posted as to when that show will air. So much to talk about so little time. Thanks for tuning in everyone!Calendar Links

Lots to talk about on the show today everyone. Elevator News, Marketing Information and some great e-mails. There's one article that pretty much sets me off during the show which demands some attention. You'll have to listen to find out which one it is.  Next week we'll be at the Elevator U Conference and will attempt to put a regular show out if the Internet connection is speedy enough. If not we'll shorten the show so we can get it uploaded. June is here and it's busy. Those of you in the Midwestern Area if you haven't already signed up for the NAEC CEA Regional Education Seminar and EESF Cruise in Chicago it's right around the corner. Get your registration in today and don't wait till the last minute.  Thanks for tuning in everyone!

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the last two shows. You slammed our server with a record number of one day download totals, way to go! What this tells me is that I need to incorporate more interviews into the show.  I want to thank John O'Donohue and Terri Emmons for the their time in putting together both interviews. The feed back was very positive for both.  Some important news stories on the program today which you'll want to hear about plus we'll get back to elevator items and ebay this week. Next week we'll feature our marketing segment which will cover marketing materials and your business. Enjoy the show everyone.

On the show today we've got elevator news and an author. I had the opportunity to interview John O’Donoghue, coauthor of the new book, Elevator and Escalator Rescue a Comprehensive Guide. Not only a great book for firefighters it also is a great reference for any elevator professional. It truly provides a unique firefighters perspective on elevators and escalators. I was surprised at how much I learned from it. I’ll be giving a way a copy of it in Mays prize pack giveaway along with an emergency radio. Please take the time this Memorial Day to remember those soldiers who have lost their lives to defend our freedom. Also take the time to thank a veteran for serving. Calendar Links

Back from Atlanta I learn quite a bit from the speakers at NAVTP. Very enlightening stuff.  It was very enjoyable trip and I enjoyed talking with everyone. As with any trip the best part about going is coming home to family. I hope you like the new layout shown below. I've had many people mention that it's difficult to read the show links when they are all grouped together. Have a great rest of the week everyone. Thanks for tuning in.

Happy Wednesday everyone. It is cold here in Chicago, my thermometer over the weekend went down to -8 and with a wind chill of -22. I feel bad for complaining as there are much colder places in the world than here.  Last week I got a call from a news reporter needing information on a product that could have saved a life. I share with you what we talked about and link the story in the show notes. Also, two tragic accidents in NY are in the spot light as elevator safety is questioned. Lots to cover today folks, thanks for tuning in.

Go Bears, I was able to watch the game from the 3rd Quarter and from my chair didn't see a Superbowl Team. However they were able to take the game over in the fourth and press on to a win. I hope they have that same type of conviction in Miami.  The city of Chicago is very excited this week! 20 Years later and we're back eyeing for a Superbowl Championship Title. Oh yea, elevator news, lots of it today. Got Lift?
