I think he's been lurking there for years.

He almost never gets to fly solo :-). He rarely gets to fly both ways,
we usually split the trips unless one of us is sick. Now I guess I
should fly all the time, in case it's IFR on the way back so he gets
that leg ... Nah, I don't think I can manage to make that even close to
believable :-).

You fly first leg - then he flies the return trip under the hood for practice.

That's actually a good idea. That way I can learn more of the
instrument stuff and he keeps current.

It sounds like a good argument to me.
The day I picked up the Deb, a final check with FSS predicted only a
small area of isolated *small* cumulus. We did go IFR from here to
Muncie and could have easily done it VFR a bit lower. However on the
way back those little things were growing up *fast* and my first real
flight in the Deb was over an hour actual getting the snot beat out of
me (along with an instructor). So you never know. I think you better
persevere on that line of reasoning. After all it will be true on
occasion and then you can happily say...see... I told you so! :-))
