Soo, a lot has happened since the last time I updated. I haven't been taking pictures that often, either. My camera has been collecting dust for the most part... but anyway. So, I switched barns. I've been mulling over this for a while, but about three weeks ago, we finally acted upon it. I just wasn't getting anywhere.

So, hopefully, we can sort out this little issue before the show, or otherwise, we're counter-cantering for the left lead segments
