I got my private pilots license in Starkville, KSTF.
It's been awhile since I have flown. I kept a plane out there in the hangar for several years.
I had a Piper Cherokee 160 PA-28 and later a Mooney M20C with the manual Johnson bar for retracting the landing gear. I never even got qualified in the Mooney since it was a complex aircraft but it was half again as fast with only 20 more HP. I lost my health card and had to sell my planes.
I loved flying early mornings. Think of how smooth a lake is early in them morning. That applies to the skies as well. That and watch the weather closely.

I am doing the same, but man it has been anything but calm. I am flying in winds I probably wouldn't if I wasn't on a timeline. Nothing unsafe obviously, just not something I would choose to do. In the end it will make me a better pilot though.
I was surprised at all the flights Saturday with a TFR. I was one of the flights, but we had a clearance for ours.
