easiest way to check the breaker when it's tripping like that is to disconnect the wires. without the wires connected, it should reset and stay on.
Working fine now. Still keeping it off till I inspect outlets.

So to test a breaker that keeps tripping, cut main power, and it should stay on..

You called it. Kitchen sink is against an outside wall. Circuit is the outlets on each side of the sink, and one outside. I didn't think they were allowed to do that in 1988? It has been raining this week. I think that's where I'll start. A more modern outdoor outlet cover for starters.
