It depends.......
I often simply open the hangar door, drag the plane outside, do a quick preflight (more or less... check the fuel, oil and tires), look up at the sky, hop in and buzz around the patch.
Now if I am actually going somewhere of any distance, I will call for a weather briefing, check notams etc and will cross check that info with weather on my phone and or computer.
My preflight can vary at times also as I keep my airplane at home in my locked hangar, but if I fly someone elses airplane or leave mine parked unattended, my pre-flight will always be more intensive.
For this type of flight,
pretty much just "kick the tire, light the fire"
(even in my situation above however, I ALWAYS do a thorough check of controls, fuel and ignition prior to pushing the go lever
)
