A two-Kolb get together this morning at 8NK4. Light breeze directly
down a beautifully manicured and WIDE runway.
Thom's new toy is extremely well made. Life is good at peak oil.

Capedavis,
Ditto what BB said. Attached are two photos taken on St. Patrick's Day of 2004. Note for the holiday challenged that this is March 17, not January  . One photo is of my back yard. The other is looking out my bedroom window on the second floor.
This is not a flying friendly place in the winter. BUT the summers generally make up for it. We haven't had temps reach 90F in two years.

Fran,
I moved from Atlanta to Buffalo when I retired to get away from the hot and humid summers that begin in March and end in November, not to mention the horrible traffic and air pollution of a big city.
To each his own, different strokes for different folks and all that.

No doubt summers are brutally hot in the South. We do enjoy Winter though. Still have my roots around Geneseo, we visit family a couple of times a year.
Still a Bill's fan, still a Saber's fan....doubt I will ever change.
Take care.

I'm with Thom on this one. The gulf coast is like the arctic in reverse - one of the most brutal climates on the planet but in the hot direction and one of the hardest places to escape from (took me nearly 30 years to get the $$$$ out of there).
The flying season there for light a/c is very short, a brief period in the middle of the rainy season starting in mid October and ends pretty much end of Jan to mid Feb. After that the wind picks up 15G25 out of the SE and stays that way until the next Oct. The rare events when the wind isn't howling, it's too hot and polluted to fly. There's a layer of yellow smog from the cities (San Antonio generally) from about 800 to 2000 AGL at almost all times, that completely ruins flying. You're pretty much grounded one way or the other from med Feb to the next Oct.
Gulf coast is a terrible place to live or fly - don't listen to the hype  .
PS: what really saves it is the folks. You won't meet any finer people anywhere. Always amazed me how such wonderful people and pilots can live in such a horrible, nasty place.
Here in northern NM we still have the troublesome spring and summer, but we get a lot more breaks here and there. towards end of summer you can start getting off the ground more regularly. Fall is magical and winter is great flying wx tho good cold weather gear is a necessity .
But the air is clean and the climate is far less harsh on your body, plane and mental/emotional condition. Life on the ground when you are grounded is night-and-day better than the filthy, mold-choked oven that is the gulf coast.
ok, rant over. The TX PTSD is still with me a bit

I am envious of the West, I go there on business from time to time, and truly it is a mystical land of God's creations, beauty everywhere. A few years ago I flew a PA28 from Boca Raton to Anchorage and back, the West was absolutely the scenic highlight of the trip.
Sounds like you are right where you should be...life is good!

Last winter, I flew the titan to Taos, NM and back. Pretty short xcountry of only about 60 miles and it was probably about 10F inside the plane the whole time, due to being near the SP limit of 10,000' MSL for most of the trip.
but the scenery of the mountains out there is nothing short of spectacular even on a pretty much local flight. The mountains in CO were still clearly visible nearly 100 miles away as I approached taos.
Friend of mine and I went to pagosa springs and then again recently to grand junction in his RV6. Visibility in the RV isn't as good of course, so I'm going to try to repeat the pagosa springs trip this year in my plane. Taos is on the plate too.
The atmosphere calms down somewhat in the winter and you can make fairly comfortable flights in the mountains. Spring and summer just has too much wind and convective activity for my tastes, but the reward really comes in fall/winter.......

When you are retired you don't have to shovel. Life is good when you no longer have to crawl undera disabled car in the cold. Now I can turn up my water source heat pump and relax. (unlimited water supply)
When the sun comes back I head out for a delightful hike. Very comfortable with insulated long johns.
I paid my dues plus some. Split wood for the kitchen woodstove in the dark after work. Fixed the kid's cars
in the basement. It was tough at times but I don't regret a wonderful past.
