Increased interest in my Audio system during the fall

i get more interested in my rig between 130 and 345 pm

The only time I am not interested in music is when I'm depressed which in me is not seasonal. I have to send myself somewhere else usually by book. The last episode I must have read 200 books and I did not touch the Hi Fi for about a year. The system runs every day when I get home from work till bedtime. Serious listening is from 7 to 9 PM weekdays and variable on the weekends. I have systems in the garage and workshop but that is not serious listening. In order to avoid depression I have to keep busy. Between Hi Fi, two 911's and the workshop I manage pretty well. My wife can tell when I'm getting into trouble. I start reading.

Same for me, just like my automobile interest kicks in every April

Yes. During spring and summer I tend to feel guilty if I spend evening/sunset hours inside listening when I could be outside. Winter, when it gets dark at 5, is impetus to do a lot more guilt free listening while I grade essays.
