Remember FULL rich for takeoffs and landings unless your flying at
Leadville, CO or some other really high altitude airport.

No. Lean above 5000 as a general rule. Some aircraft, like my Bonanza,
has a scale on the fuel flow instrument that tells you where to lean to
for every takeoff regardless of altitude.
