Being here in South Carolina, it is virtually unlimited flying. There are times, like the past couple weeks, when rain prohibits (does not stop, as you could fly in the rain) flying, but we only have about 6-8 weeks a year where it is too cold or too hot to fly. I keep about 20 flyable on hand as well, and I take one plane per battery size or type to the field with me. I fly 6S 5K, 6S 4K, 8S 5K, 4S 2200, and 3S 2200. So 5 planes come each week. I do try to rotate them, and they never usually sit for more than a few weeks without flying, but we all have favorites that we hate to leave at home.

Consider your self very lucky. :)
All of 2018 was brutal flying in my area. Nothing but snow rain and wind. It was nothing to go 2 to 3 weeks without flying because of the weather.
That makes it very hard to dial in a new plane, and still get back to your old favorites.
Hopefully 2019 brings me a heck of lot more flying time, so I can get back to some of my old friends

My Dad died instantly last year from a massive heart attack. I was so mad, hurt and so sad but through it all I never forgot that God is still in charge and He does what He does for His reasons and not always ours. I still cannot understand why my Dad is gone but I still remain faithful that God has things in control. If I didn't have that I would not be able to deal with my Dad passing. Me and Dad were best buddies and it still hurts but God gives me what I need and when I need it. This applies to you too! It applies to all believers.
fieldofdreamsflyer...........Keep the faith and pursue God, He will always help you one way or another!

Well I have been feeling better, still no job but back hanging out at the field watching and talking. I have a few friends giving me a 800mm P-51 and another friend giving me his 2 Freewing jets , the F-105 and F-8. I still have my charger and Flysky i10 but cant fly them until I find money to buy the lipos for it . I do take donations if you have things that you dont need or plan to throw away . I have sold most stuff just to pay bills. These 3 planes will be nice to have. I have a Easysky P-38 for sale in the classifieds. To small for me
