• Upgraded php from 7.2 to 7.4 and installed imagick (among other extensions) on this wp site. Enabled browser console on the digitalocean droplet.
• Subscribed to a few sites on feedly (web and mobile).
• Checked the RSS feed for Mostly Software (bmahlstedt.com) and got it back up.
• Plants need Carbon/Hydrogen/Oxygen (air provides) and Nitrogen/Phosphorous/Potassium (nutrients provide in hydroponic systems). The other ~10 elements have small requirements and are supplied by the bit of soil.
• Snaked the clogged shower with a drum auger.
• Garbage disposal.
  • Taking out the previous sink flange nut was the most difficult part.
    • I expect it was the original from the post-war building, at least 5 decades.
    • Spray-bottle with vinegar for a couple hours to soak and break down minerals+rust.
    • Clamp on nut, vice on actual sink drain pipe. No budge.
    • Hacksaw to the nut. Too close to the sink to get the diagonal needed.
    • Drilled vertically from the bottom. Finally broke through, a nearly-separated axial split.
  • Installed new mount assembly, rubber gasket on top and fiber on bottom.
  • Installed garbage disposal and aligned.
  • Cut the PVC to meet the p-trap. Installed everything.
  • Turned in on. No leaks, mains worked, James Bond switch worked.
  • BUT during the install, the adapter from the p-trap to the wall become loose at the wall side, slipping off to reveal a huge corroded hole in the wall pipe.
  • Could patch, could putty, could replace. Mostly tired. Calling a plumber tomorrow to perform the final fix.
