inQuestion about the 8 mile Little River Trail loop in GSMNP, turns out I had the mileage way off
Man, the Little River Trail gets slept on hard and I don't get why. That stretch along the water with all those old hemlocks and the mossy rocks is unreal, way better than a lot of the crowded overlooks people kill themselves hiking to. If you want another easy one, hit the Middle Prong Trail off Tremont, it's a old railroad grade too and follows the river the whole way with waterfalls popping up every mile or so. Meigs Creek Trail is another sleeper, not flat the whole time but nothing crazy and you get to the sinks swimming hole halfway. Just watch the creek crossings after rain, that water comes up quick.

inWhy does nobody warn you about those cheap USB floppy drives on eBay
I once bought two of those cheap drives thinking I was being smart, and both died before I finished one box of old AOL disks. A $5 junk shop Teac is worth more than a whole case of the new ones.

inPunched down my first 40 drops with a Klein punch tool and a cheap one from the supply house, the cheap one slipped on 12 of them
Those cheap punches are usually soft metal so the tip mushrooms and walks off center after a few hits. Grab a Greenlee or Klein replacement tip, a shot of cutting oil on the tip, and dead center punch marks each time, mine quit slipping after that.
