Is my Davis Vantage Pro solar panel destroyed?

Hello I have a Davis Vantage Pro II weather station that I’ve been using [mostly] flawlessly for more than a decade.

For the last two years, I needed to replace the battery as the communication would get lost.

Looking at the shape of my solar panel, it looks like it is the culprit. So here are my questions:

* Is 2.35 Volts on the sun the normal output for this solar panel?

* Do I need to replace the solar panel? If yes where could I get a new one? (That doesn’t cost an arm and a leg)

* Am I using the proper battery?

Thank you for your help!!

5k sqft “underwater parcel” for sale in SF for $250: what’s the point?

Found on Zillow. I’m trying to figure out what would justify such a purchase:

* Hoping that it gets landfilled in the future so that you have useable land?

* Use it as is, as a [park free] mooring point for a sailboat?

* Moore a houseboat like in Sausalito?

* Sell it back as is in a few years for a 100% or more profit?

Am I missing something? Anyone interested?
Thanks for reading!

Can’t remove my tub drain linkage assembly

Hello. A few days ago the trip lever broke (it was probably out of use for years). Picture 2.

I opened the overflow plate and try to remove the tub drain linkage but it’s impossible to pull even with pliers (Picture 1).

What would be my next step? Thank you!
