How long did you keep your mare in that set up? @casey719 that makes so much sense, it's like their brain gets too busy figuring out the new feeling to fully freak out. I had a super reactive gelding who would spin at plastic bags, and my farrier suggested a similar trick with pads on just one side. It wasn't a magic fix for everything, but for those random scary moments, it cut his reaction time in half. It really does seem to reset their focus.

James Hoffmann's video on espresso explained bitterness usually means over-extraction. He said shots pulling longer than 30 seconds often taste harsh. I adjusted my grinder coarser and the bitterness faded, but then the coffee turned sour. It's a balancing act... your tamp pressure and bean freshness matter too. Dark roast beans naturally have more bitter notes, so a fine grind might work there. Sometimes the fix isn't just one thing, it's checking several factors at once.

What kind of paper is in that planner anyway? Some of them use paper that's basically glorified tissue paper and bleeds if you look at it funny. Was it a fancy pen with wet ink, or is the paper just that bad?

That contour gauge to trace the shape sounds handy, but how do you transfer the traced shape to the laminate?

Hmm, but sometimes the official site has drivers from like 2015. Ended up on the actual chip maker's page for a fix.
