Artichoke Loev Yoo!

Dal Capo al coda.
Today is a day of days. I'm certain my ancestors would celebrate such a day with a feast, and women, and heavy drinking. Songs would be sung, and merry bravado would infect the entire clan.
For you see, I stuck to my guns. I didn't flinch in my stance. I constantly had to use self restraint and pull back my hand away from my tools-- from my skills and gifts. This wasn't just for me, but for my friends to grow into better people. This was for the betterment for all mankind... .... ...in our house. I can feel a nod of approval from the ages.
The artichoke brothers broke under my will, and fixed the garbage disposal. As I told them from the start, they would have to take it apart, and pull the now over-a-month-old fibers out of the steel mandibles.
"I thought it was going to take all day!" The one brother commented, "But it only took like-- fifteen minutes! It was so much easier than I had thought!"
I nodded in approval as I turned on the switch, and heard the familiar hum. As I continue to live, and accumulate both age and wisdom, it really is the little things in this life that make a difference. The big things you can't control, so don't bother worrying about them.
The boys are finally turning into men... in their really late 20's.... (actually, one is already 30, but I'm a few more months older than him.) :(
BUT, having typed all this out, there is a new lesson one of those artichoke brothers needs to learn next: DON'T TAKE RINDI'S CIGARETTES. GO TO THE STORE AND BUY YOUR OWN. But that, is another story in the making....
AND on a side note, I saw INCEPTION tonight, and that film was just plain awesome!
Smell ya later!

Also, I'm going to see that movie this week. :)
But the way our kitchen counter is set up, it's pretty roomy down there... because our house was designed by nincompoops. Well, it wasn't designed. It's an old building in the industrial area where everything was slapped together. But in this one, RARE case, the garbage disposal is easy to get to. (Everything else is hell to fix!)
....Without a picture I can't tell, but... The entire sink should be able to be lifted up out of the counter, once you disconnect the traps/drains and all on it. (There may be a few little attachments underneath to keep the sink from moving around.) It's kind of the equivalent of pulling an engine out of a car, but at least you might be able to get to the faucet parts without crawling underneath, and spending all your money on a one-use tool, et al....
