Getting a little sick of it all

Man, no offense, but that's kinda warped.

I hope flying never gets that way for me.

Most kinds of days are good for flying, but there's nothing like slipping the
surly bonds on a miserable overcast rainy day and flying in the sunshine.

Some of us enjoy both kinds of weather!

Besides, you really ought to experience of shooting an approach
to near minimums. You either really like it, or really hate it.

It takes some of the fun out of flying on a perfect, windless, sunny
Saturday that's neither too hot nor too cold. That's when the real
goobers come out. It can be fun listening to ATC dealing with them,
though.

You said it. Any time we have a couple of weeks of lousy weather that
end up with a sunny Saturday, I either stay home and go the next day,
or hang out at the hangar and listen in to the pandemonium for a while
to see if I feel like venturing up there.

Well, if you don't feel comfortable sharing with me, then stay on the ground.

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.

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.

Partly, but we had storms early in January, and the temperature didn't get
above freezing all month. The plane was encased in ice for over three weeks.
