The nice thing about here is that in the summer if it is windy it will calm down by morning. If I have a need to fly I will get up at 2:00 AM and fly for a while before work. The initial getting up and out part is VERY hard to do but once I make it to the field you're good to go.

But yes I do look at flags even though I have no intention of flying. If they are calm then I am mad at myself for not bringing an airplane, And as always if I bring an airplane then it is windy. I have a new theory this year. I am going to pack a kite with my airplane and pretend I have every intention of flying the kite and it will be whisper calm every time.
