I here ya! I just started 3 summers ago. AWESOME summer... flew about 3 or 4 days a week. Tons of great weather, and I worked a job that got me home by 4pm every day.

But, the last two summers have sucked. Flew more in one month my first year than I did all summer the last two years. Crappy weather, working two jobs, the house, etc. Now I have a job that keeps me till about 6pm. Half hour drive home, eat, load planes, half hour drive to the field... lucky to get an hour in beore dark... IF it's not raining or wind blowing. Weekends are raining and/or too windy 90% of the time.

Maybe I should take up RC cars/trucks? Weather doesn't matter and I don't have to load tons of gear and drive across town to use 'em?
