My main reason for not finishing up my instrument training has been a lack
of time. A close second, however, is the fact that I have been tracking my
"weather vs. flight" ratio for several years, and it is indeed a rare VFR
flight that is cancelled because of conditions that I would feel comfortable
with flying IFR.

In addition to that, there is the need to keep current. That basically means that a
few hours of the flying you do for fun every year becomes a bit more like work.
Probably the only IFR flights I would ever make would be taken within 6 months of
getting the rating.

At least you have Mary to serve as a safety pilot.
