It's the Governor Mario M. Cuomo bridge now. Early plans also called for Metro-North Railroad commuter rail service on the bridge, but ultimately the span was built without commuter rail tracks.

I believe mine came from Micro Mark. I haven't used it a whole lot, but it seems like it will hold up. I don't see looking at the website the exact one I purchased. It has been a number of years since purchase. It came with the bits and I don't see it listed, but found a few they offer. I purchase this one after I bought a set from Amazon and it was junk. The handle was OK (still have it) but the bits were sketchy!

I've been looking at some and I want one that uses a chuck instead of collets. The one I have is worn so bad that it won't keep bits tight any more. It's a cheap one don't even remember where I got from.
Looking at ones like this (see picture). Anyone use something like this before or has one?

Sheer coincidence. They're the first three appropriate ones that I picked out of the stash.

And their all wearing tight pants is that a coincidence too.

i have something like this at home yes. but in red 
works fine for small drillings, and i use it from time to time.
i had also a cheap version of this, but it broke when i did try to tighten a drill bit in
i can recommend this product.

Good morning all!
Currently 45F with a pretty moderate rain falling. Supposed to let up early this morning, but return this afternoon.
Plus is, it will be 51F.
Picked my car up at the dealers yesterday afternoon after getting tires and an allotment. It was expensive, but I
noticed the difference right away. They must of worn out so gradually I never noticed.
Not much else going on yet, we shall see what the day brings.
Have a safe day everyone!

What, me worry?
Morning all,
51° and cloudy going for a high later of 60° before we get a short winter blast this evening. High wind warnings for gusts to 70mph are up through tomorrow. They're expecting us to get just about 1" of snow on the high side, but with it blowing, expecting a couple of hours of white-out conditions. Expect snow on grassy surfaces and bridges\overpasses, but otherwise roads to only be wet. We'll see how right they are on this one.
I got my Veteran pass yesterday. Only needed my driver's license as my state will put veteran status on it. It's a plastic card similar to a credit card. So ID, sign the back and have a nice trip. Although I'm not sure what it does for me on Federal Reservoirs. We have many Federal lakes in the state and I've never had to show anything but a state park pass to get into them.

It looks like I may be playing golf in a few days. Snow should be all gone by then. I have already paid my golf membership, so I don't use the free golf for veterans NY offers on its courses much at all. Veterans get the free golf; migrants get the free everything here.

Good morning from Wisconsin. My section is at 41f degrees heading to high 50’s.
I purchased some Scaletrains Rivet Counter brand Ethanol tank cars online last week. I was concerned as they were only $20 each, so I got 6. Owner claimed he just needed the $$$! Opened them up yesterday and it looks like I got a deal. Thought it was 2 good 2 b true but proven wrong. I guess sometimes it pays to take a chance. Somewhere down the tracks I will weather and try to sell them.
Enjoy the day

I know a few of you have posted my package is arriving late messages here. My package arrived only 29 miles from here 5 days ago and is still not out for delivery. Anyone here know what's going on with that?
