“Cloud surfing” i.e. flying a minimum 1000ft above the clouds or flying an IFR vector at a fixed altitude lol. Rules are written in blood but damn can they suck the fun out of something that would be incredible otherwise.

Being that I'm in a GA plane I don't usually have a lot of conflicting traffic so ATC usually gives me a requested altitude if I ask to go up or down a little provided it lines up with the direction I'm traveling. Otherwise yeah I'll get a vfr on top clearance and stay high enough above.
