Great advice from all. I certainly am approaching it as "when in Rome" to a large degree. At the same time, I'm trying to do certain things "right" as much as possible; like mechanics.
I've made it a point to tell my first two partners, "I'm new. Feel free to talk to me. Give me suggestions or advice." I'm not sure when "I'm new" doesn't apply anymore, but I imagine I can use it for awhile.
