I found that as I gained experience, I found it easier to stay current
and took less effort. After taking a 4 year hiatus and returning just
recently to flying, I'm feeling again like you are now. A month or two
between approaches makes a lot of difference. When I was flying 100
hours a year, I could take a two month break and hardly notice it.


Damn!! I flew nearly 400 hours last year and find I get rusty if there's
a
long period without AMC thrown in. And As I mentioned, nearly all my
flight
plans are IFR.



Yes, IFR doesn't mean IMC. I was talking about IMC (the between
approaches) comment as flying IFR in VMC is trivial.

I file IFR to keep those skills sharp since letting them deteriorate would
make the time gaps for IMC even harder to handle. That way all I have to
concentrate on is my claustrophobia instead of adding the mechanical skills
to the mix. :~)
