Aw man! We've just hit our first good weather of a couple of weeks, and I'd planning on grabbing a courthouse tomorrow.
Nice grab and new tag. Could I just get a picture of my bike and my .44 Magnum?
I know -- that's not big enough

We're looking for something over .50 cal. If you've got a 20mm rifle lying around, that would do it. But the cannon or big gun can be any vintage. Old ship cannons, salute cannons, modern artillery, anti-aircraft, what ever.

I wouldn't have thought so either. It is cold here, but if I knew where I big gun is, I'd go get it.

Weather's bound to be an impediment to this little game this winter, but we southern guys will try to keep it going for you.
OC's post this morning inspired me to find a cannon. I'd Googled for "big guns near little rock" and found every gun store in the area -- there's a lot of 'em. So I tried "cannons near little rock" and found everyone named Cannon. This morning I decided to try for "Civil war cannons near little rock" and found Lady Baxter about 20 miles from my home.
It was low 40s here this morning and threatening rain, but I decided to go for it. I told my wife I was going out on the bike for a little while, and she said "Huh?" I put about 50 miles on the bike hoping for no rain. it was good.

Right now my area has temps in the single digits with wind chills in the -8 to -15 range. Roads are covered in that deadly white stuff and the salt that Pennsylvania thinks fixes it. I'll be playing in spirit and spirits for awhile! Suffering from PMS. Parked Motorcycle Syndrome..
Just as an FYI, wind chill numbers from the weatherman are meaningless on a bike. We generate our own wind which is always significantly greater than the ambient wind.
Unfortunately... When it is a true -10 degrees F and you add a 65 mph road speed wind to that you get -48F. Even heated gear isn't gonna work that low for very long. I can tolerate about +10 - +15F (-10 - -20F w/ road wind)

Nicely done. But how am I gonna find Fs with Google?

Google FYYFF, that's three Fs right there.
Just need the sticker/t-shirt
You could try a google search of local businesses for your area too. Or schools.
And actually, if your google fu is really good, you've already figured out that if you search on 'F F F in (your city, town or state)', you may find quite a few hits. Hint, the spaces between the Fs are important.

I was just searching for a new plate for my Jeep. It seems that FYYFF has not been taken yet, but I don't think I could slip it by the state without a good explanation.

Alright, I found a sign with FFF and I found a new tag. Problem is I can't get them to link from Photobucket. WTF? Any help? I've been playing this for awhile and I've done it before. What changed or what am I doing wrong?
