What happened to Fermis?

 

He's been busy himself.

For me it's the weather. We have a small house with 5 acres in the country for the weekends, about half is field grass that requires mowing, plus space for a large vegetable garden. 30 mile drive one way, plus taking care of the city house and lawn as well, keeps my dance card filled up.

I started a fitness program a few months ago that keeps me "running", then I also attend a class three nights a week, add to that a 60 hr work week and not alot is left for posting, let alone building.  Oh, and my wife is re-landscaping the yard this summer.  

Its not just the last few weeks its been dropping over the last few months. It started with the change last July and then got worse after the recent log in problems. It actually seems to have picked back up in the last few days. We seem to have lost quite a few poeple and many more, my self included, are posting less than usual.

I'll chip in here and agree that the weather is a major factor. With the exceptions of the running surveys and polls I felt the forums getting "stale". I too check almost every forum during the course of the day and follow some of the lengthy WIPs. 

Well the nice weather will naturally draw more people away from the bench. But I will say in my opinion, as opposed to this past Autumn when we had similar weather (say Sept.-Oct) I believe I have actually seen an INCREASE in activity. Might just be me though.

Weather getting better and have to get the winter yard work done, plus other outdoor stuff and getting rid of the cabin fever.

Well, the weather is getting better and folks now spending time outdoors, outdoor chores, home improvements, family vacations, fishing season, and spending time with families. Spring, Summer and Fall tend to pull folks away from building. Seems to me this is a this time of year thing. I haven't done any building of late. Heading out to Florida next week, outdoor chores needs tending when I get back, quality time outside after spending all winter indoors. Yep... life is good now the snow is gone.

I can only speak for myself Don.  I've been heavily involved in the Bass fishin  season. Lots of my time and funds are going into that lately, and  especially fixing up that old boat of mine. My 1/48 Accurate Miniatures TBF Avenger sits on my bench crying for attention, half done LOL but when it gets too hot to fish in Florida, I will get back to modeling.
