    My life just isn’t supporting biking right now. I think I’d like to withdraw from FS23 so my team can get someone more reliable. Can someone help me?

    1/1/2023 – Fire

    Took a quick evening ride to the West Springfield Fire Station. I was a bit disappointed that it only says fire in very small letters on the main sign.[ATTACH=CONFIG]29211[/ATTACH]

    3/16 ‐ Arts and crafts

    Our friend Dave has a absolutely stunning house that is normally completely secluded within their wooded lot. Their house was custom-built to complement these woods and both reflect and look out upon the beauty, a key component of the Arts and Crafts movement. Dave also happens to be a master Azalea gardener and visiting when the blooms are at their peak is simply out of this world.

    Dave is also an all-around good guy and tonight I had a great excuse to sit down for a beer with him!

    Had to stop by my daughter’s school today to drop off her laptop. I made it before the bus so I had time to notice the LFL at Keene Mill elementary school and snap a picture!

    3/11 – Comic book store

    I love taking my kids to Tosche Station in Springfield (Huntsman and Fairfax County Parkway) where we normally pick up Magic cards and sometimes gifts for friends. They have a decent selection of comic books and other collectibles. Glad to have them in the neighborhood! [ATTACH=CONFIG]28751[/ATTACH]

    As usual, I am late to the party. What does your stock look like right now?

    Today I got a three-for-one shot while searching for the ScavHunt and found this LFL and a Monument bonus!

    This is the LFL at the Historic Sydenstricker schoolhouse at 8511 Hooes Road in Springfield.

    2/17 – Church Steeple

    As others have mentioned, I was surprised at how challenging it was to find a church with a steeple. However, when I found it I was able to get a three-for-one shot with a LFL and a Monument bonus! This is Sydenstricker UMC in Springfield across the street from the Historic Sydenstricker schoolhouse and attendant Little Free Library.

    2/16 – historic house

    Silas Burke house in Fairfax County, VA

    Here lived Lt. Col. Silas Burke (b.1796–d.1854) and his wife, Hannah Coffer. Burke, for whom Burke’s Station on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad was named, served as a director of the railroad and the Fairfax Turnpike Company. An innkeeper and farmer, Burke was elected president of the Fairfax Agricultural Society in 1850. He held many county offices with distinction, including road surveyor, commissioner of public buildings and schools, county court justice, presiding justice, and sheriff.[ATTACH=CONFIG]28020[/ATTACH]

    1/22 ‐ Airport

    I know this is a picture of the Burke train station, but if the plan at the link below came to fruition, this would have been the middle of the Washington DC Airport!

    lol, ewwww! Coffee ice cream is the worst ice cream (in my opinion. I don’t like coffee or mocha). Mint Chocolate Chip (not that bogus green stuff) is the best!!

    For shame!

    I’m a fan of most ice cream including coffee.

    I certainly wouldn’t say that coffee ice cream is the best coffee, so there’s that…
