I get around this by making up some excuse about why we're going to land
hard. I usually say something about practicing a landing on a specific
point, or how the bounces will help clean the airplane, or some such.

That's a keeper! And of course, I'll use it as my own when I get around to
shaking off 20+ years of rust--I may need all of the excuses that I can
find.

If my landing is "firmer" than I anticipate, I mention how in certain
conditions it's better to get the plane firmly seated on the pavement
than to float along to a greaser. I then use whatever means necessary
to justify how we were currently in those conditions. G
