Just went back out and manually started front yard zone. Everything looks great now. I did walk down the street this AM before I posted to see how many houses were watering and did not see any, but who knows where the trunk comes from.

This is a bit disconcerting as I water once per week. If half the time I do not have enough pressure on my scheduled day, it explains why my lawn has some dry spots. Last year I spent quite a bit of time adjusting and moving heads, replacing nozzles, etc. Of course all my adjustments and tests were during the day when I had water pressure.

Maybe my issue has not been with my system, but the delivery of water at my time to water. This would explain why I struggled to get uniform coverage (tuna can test). I am lucky I got up this AM to see this, now I can put together a plan to resolve.
