Clear the Line
Dragged the brass coupling over to the garden hose reel. The vinyl line was kinked into a sharp bend near the spool base. Unacceptable constriction. Planted my boots in the dirt and shoved both fists right into the kink. Rubber resisted. Stiffened my elbows, put all my body weight into the crease, and stomped down hard with my heel against the loop. The vinyl buckled, popped flat, and snapped back straight. Hauled the freed end up and threaded the brass fitting onto the nozzle stem until the metal bit down firm. Line is fully open.
