    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

  2. Deb Carrigan ·

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

  3. Ben Clark Instructor ·

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

  4. Ray Dunphy ·

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.
