Our old Badger 5, a 1/2 hp garbage disposal, finally gave out two weeks ago and started leaking. So after placing an ice cream bucket under it to get by, I got online and ordered a WasteKing 9980 (1 hp) from one of our favorite stores, Costco. It showed up within a week and I installed it last weekend with Livy’s help.
“The WasteKing 9980: So quiet and powerful it will take your arm off and all they’ll hear is screaming.”
Ha Ha. Aren’t some sales slogans funny. You have to hope that some salesman got a raise for thinking of that one. While they aren’t a related item, it made me think of the nightcrawlers that Galen buys when we have the fishing parties at the pond.
Their slogan is….”Guaranteed to catch fish or die trying!”

P.S. How much help was Livy? Did you giver her the hammer, crawl under the sink, and say, “When I nod my head, you hit it.”
For the record, that isn’t their official slogan. Livy was a pretty good helper giving me tools from the toolbox when I needed them (probably better than Jenny but don’t tell her that). We had to run to Lowes for a piece for the drain and Livy’s help was more like when I was little and we were driving around looking for cattle tracks on the road. She slept the whole trip, including me carrying her around the store.
Holy cow.
1HP? That’s good enough to dispose of… evidence. ;^)
Please don’t encourage him, Karl!
