Isn't that the truth. I fear being instrument-rusty quite a bit, and for good reason. I stay current by law but that is barely enough. I set up a desktop sim set up to shoot approaches which helps, but the best practice is launching off into the soup with another pilot and make some cross countries on some cloudy overcast days. This appeals on another dimension kind of like disappearing into the clouds and coming out in another town where the skies are overcast and mysterious.
