A) Rescue a system.
B) Refamiliarize myself with bringing up zfs pools and datasets.
C) I have dozens of sdcards.  It's been 12 months since I even touched
    one.
D) Not least, learn how to attach/detach physical zfs drives.

To really grasp the awfulness of my crime, consider that I only put
about 100MB on a 64GB (nominal) sdcard.  It's now back on the pile.

I will try to empathize with my sdcard population more, I promise :-)

Cheers,
Russell
