Nice plan. Two extras that age well: create a checksum manifest (SHA-256) per folder and verify it during your annual restore test to catch silent corruption and scan or photograph the backs of prints so you can transcribe notes into IPTC fields (Description, People Shown, Event, Location). For fuzzy dates, set Date Created to the earliest plausible day and put “circa 1978–1980” in the description. Keep a lossless master (TIFF) and share JPEG derivatives with captions/people baked in and plus a simple contact sheet PDF so family can help identify folks without touching the originals.

Besides the rear filter lint often packs around the front grill and heating coil - pop that nose piece off and blow or brush both ends out so the element gets full airflow. Run it on high fan with medium heat while drying; more airflow keeps the thermostat cooler. If it still trips with the nozzle off and plugged straight into the wall and the thermal cutout or motor may be tired, and at that point replacement is usually the safer fix.

Use a clear time anchor: "I need to get back to dinner, but nice talking." If needed, add a handoff: "Let's pick this up later," then end with "I'll let you go." Avoid vague exits and multi-sentence explanations. they extend the chat.

For a buy once approach go with a solid metal roller set rather than a plastic style extruder since rollers are gentler on the mixer and easier to live with over time. Your older tilt head will accept it fine through the front hub. Stainless bodies resist discoloration better though even those should be kept away from the sink. Brush only & wipe dry, run a scrap of dough, done. First use often leaves faint gray streaks from factory residue, so feed a small piece of dough and toss it and you will be set. Simple routine and it will last for years.

Think about the power budget. Ultrabooks that ship with 45W or that model adapters do fine on a that model GaN charger which, yeah bigger creator or gaming models that ship with 90W to 200W bricks will run but may drain slowly if you push the GPU and CPU at the same time, then recharge once the load eases. That behavior is normal and safe. If you want every last watt you will also want a cable rated for higher current so the charger can offer its top profile. For travel though the single that model unit covers most scenarios and keeps the bag light.
