That 14 hour shift on the Mississippi last Tuesday was brutal
We were clearing a clog near the intake pipe and the suction just died on us around 2pm. Spent 4 hours pulling mud and debris by hand because the pump was shot. Found an old tire and what looked like a shredded dock line wrapped around the impeller. Has anyone else had a pump fail like that mid-job and had to finish with hand tools?

Did you try asking the fish for a hand?

That "ask the fish for a hand" comment got me thinking, but your story reminds me how often things just decide to break right in the middle of the worst possible time. It's like life has a way of testing if you have a backup plan.
