An old video from my old camera.  I have often mentioned "The Knackered Pipe", but never showed the video until now.  Murphy's Law states "If something can go wrong, it will".  The more important part is the corollary "If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then".  And that's exactly what happened.

It was St. Emmanuel's Day, and whilst diligently feeding the garbage disposable tons of vegetable scraps, it's throat got parched and everything stopped up.  Apparently the sink didn't deliver water fast enough, or maybe I fed it too many vegetables at one time, but the pipe clogged up, stopping the kitchen sink during a holiday, and the bathroom sink at the same time, since they are connected together.  Usually, filling the sink and running the garbage disposal acts almost as a pressurized pump, which forces stuff down, but this time it was just too much for it.  I even tried plunging while running a full sink and the garbage disposal.  She was blocked solid.

Panic sets in.  Fortunately, I have learned too many times from Murphy's Law, and I am prepared.  That's why there's 2 of everything.  2 washers, 2 dryers, 2 "kitchen" sinks, and 2 dishwashers.  Fortunately I just had to pack up the dirty dishes and deliver them to the downstairs dishwasher and the day was saved.  I diagnosed the problem, now I just had to fix it, and that, unfortunately, had to be left until the next day, after work, when I had time.  You will see that part in the next video.
