You fly just 2 hours per month?
I flew 4 hours in October. Flew 3.4 in November. Put 2.7 on it in
February.
Didn't see the plane at all in December or January, so, yeah.
Sounds to me like the infamous Maule "heater" syndrome?

Here in the upper left corner, it's the infamous "precipitation" syndrome.
I got ~2 hours in January, part due to rain and the other part being
downtime while I was installing a new transponder.
I fly ~40 hours/year, so I'm just a bit more than 3 hours/month average.
It does tend to peak in the summer months, though.
When I quit flying for a number of years, the instructor gave me 1.5 hours
of dual (in my new 150) before signing off my BFR and sending me on my
merry way. When I first started flying the club Fly Baby, I got 1 hour of
taildragger refresher (no TD time for about ten years) and the instructor
said I was good to go.
