Left a flake’s worth of OGS to dry a little bit last night and promptly forgot it. Just know realized this. When I get home after work it will have been 24 hours or so. Think it might still be salvageable or do I toss it?

Absolutely smoke that! This is a series question right? Cause it'll just be crispy crumbly, but should smoke great.
Smoke it. It'll be a good experiment in determining what dryness level works best.
Actually it should be perfect to smoke now.
Yeh... just toss it. I mean, I would smoke it. That's my about how I love my tobaccos, but you probably wouldn't like it. I'm just guessing. I'm not sure I know you well enough. 
Smoke it and intentionally do that to more of your other tobaccos...some will be way better
I’m in a similar position. I put a flake of 8 year old FVF into my Vesz billiard two days ago. I’m not going to get to it until tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed it’ll be dry enough to light, that is. Haha, but I am interested to see if I’ve ruined it or not.

Smoke it. What's the worst that could happen?
Smoke it for sure. I just smoked a flake of GH Brown Flake that was in a paper towel for 32-38 hrs (like you not on purpose). Delicious although a little crispy. You'll just ask yourself, relight... what's a relight? so no problem.
Smoke it, you'll get to experience how perfectly dried tobacco should smoke.
Sometimes I'll leave tobacco out for a week or more before smoking it.
You got your answer my friend.
There are so many techniques to smoking a pipe, that it seems complex. Actually, it is fairly easy. Put tobacco in pipe, light it, re-light, re-light until it stays lit. When done, dump the ash and clean your pipe.
BUT! Remember the most important step! When you tamp the pipe, you have to be standing on one foot and facing your favorite tobacco shop! This does not apply on Tuesdays.

Just fart on it for some humidity and light it up. It will be perfect.
I am finishing this bowl of three-day dried FVF. It still took a few lights to get it going, but smoked admirably.
There are several tobacco blends I didn’t like when dried too much, but this FVF stuff seems immortal. Were I going on a months long sea voyage, I would take a plug of this stuff.
I have smoked out of tins, opened for several years, which got hidden when we moved and later some years ago, when I bought a late collector's tobacco cellar (and a lot of his pipes). The toppings had faded some but otherwise I recognized the taste of Early Moning Pipe and University Flake. Rehydration is also a non-nuclear science, if you don't like dry tobacco.
