Over a decade ago I bought a thin text on weather forecasting and started carrying that on my canoe and kayak trips. Most of those trips have at least one unplanned day where we are stuck on shore due to high winds, one trip four years ago I was stuck in the same campsite for four consecutive days.
I have started reading that text many times on those trips, but have not yet finished it. But each time I start reading it, some of what I had previously known and forgotten becomes a permanent memory. And I am much better at looking at weather maps than I used to be.
