A scatter plot with an scaleBand for the y-scale to bucket them by day and a scaleTime for the x-scale. The only real fancy part of this plot is modifying the input data to be in "seconds since start of day" and generating the yDomain as every day between the min and max values, not just days for which we have values. This lets us see days in between that have no data.
