Got the old drip line running right this morning

Third year in a row I've tried to fix the kinks in that drip line and every time I give up by noon. This morning I just sat with it for an hour, watching the water pool instead of spray, and moved the emitters one by one. It's such a small thing, but the tomatoes are going to drink properly for the first time since '21. Sometimes the fix is just patience and dirty knees.
