Use em all the time, mans brain has problems, might not be up to scratch, might have a cold,might have anything, but reading from a weather proof list is not a sign of lost manlyness, more a sign of a pilot who wants to ensure everything is checked that should be, especially if you are one of the many non-pro pilots who may only fly intermitantly.
Nothing lost in checking things twice, but always DIP your tanks at the very end before flight switch on and after landing!
