Sure... but like, if you start going up a steep hill, you downshift to a
lower gear. It becomes intuative, like riding a bike. If you're
accelerating up a hill from a standstill you leave it in each gear longer.
Sometimes I skip gears if I accelerate agressivley in town (ie, 1 to about
25 km/h, 2 to 60 km/h, then into 4th to coast along at 60 km/h). I can't
stress how cool Maria is. I really wish I had taken a picture of us in her
ECHO.

Of the 2 calls I got last night I screwed them both up (forwarded to wrong
extension, accidentally hung up). Great. Thankfully one of them was a
customer of mine so I recognised her voice and she laughed at what I had to
do.
