Like the title says, here in Michigan the weather is warming up, and yard, garden, paintball and fishing start calling my name.
I have not tweeked an army list, or worked on any models for the last two weeks, and just can't motiviate myself to even play on a sunny day. Do the rest of you guys have the same problem?? I love playing 40K, but it tends to go on hiatus, until fall for me.
I hope for a rainy wet day on my weekend just to have an excuse to play

I am looking forward to the demon codex and tweeking my current demons to that. But its a minor thing. Summer and life abound.

We're lucky here in the UK, we don't usually have to worry about this sort of thing, we never have real summers away

I feel the same way but, due to school I have become more and more sedentary. It's harder to get up and go do things when you're on a limited budget, and the nearest large metropolitan area with any tournament sized gaming community is at least 4 hours away :(
Oh well!

I live in Florida, where summer is the "indoor" season.
That reminds me, I need to get all my priming done before the Rain starts.

Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k. Rule #1 - BBAP

Here in Los Angeles, its sunny almost all the time so summer isn't all that different from fall or spring (although winter tends to be a bit cloudy) so I can't say I've ever really had that problem. Regardless, sometimes getting out and getting some fresh air and maybe even a bit of *gasp* sunlight might do you (and me and a lot of other people) some good. If that has to be done at the expense of 40k, so be it. Edit: I love how the dakka glossary (something I love by the way) makes it look like the name of my city is Line Of Sight Angeles

I live in So Cal where the weather is almost always great. I spend a ton of time outdoors exercising and relaxing regularly regardless of the season.
@Iorek, this last December we actually had alot of rain and I learned that rain and priming do not mix.

Snow is a substance of legend, so rare in fact that many in the southern states believe it to be a fake term. Made by the yankees during the civil war to demoralize and ultimately seal the fate of the CSA.

Yea, I am feeling kind of guilty that I am not getting the amount of painting and modeling I am accustomed to done. All of this planting and fighting is killing my productivity.
Ahh well, it will be cold and miserable, or hot, humid and miserable, in Pa before I know it.
