Smoky Mountain Brewery in Gatlinburg, TN. I didn't bother with anywhere else. Perfect place for craft beer and atmosphere after riding all day

Connie's Shoes
I have put 1500 miles on my new Michelin Pilot Road 3's... including a trip to the Smokies/The Dragon/Cherohala Skyway. They seem to be wearing very well so far.

New Shoes for Connie
New Michelin Road Pilot 3's for the bike! Here's the front tire close-up. They are excellent! The bike turns really fast! A much more confident feel - though I am re-learning Connie's manners.. The tread pattern goes the opposite direction than I would have thought! If I were putting these tires on myself - I would have put them on backwards. :-P

Towercam Venus Transit (WBRC-TV Fox6)
I caught an awesome view at sunset. Only enough room for the sun and Venus between the clouds and horizon. 6-12-2012
This is a frame grab of video recorded on the station's weather computer...

Back Yard Rose
This rose is especially vibrant! I am glad I took this photo... these roses have been historically delicate and a cloudburst this afternoon has knocked a couple of them out already...
Back Yard Rose
I am amazed to see this kind of production from this rose bush. I bought it a few years ago and this is the first time I have seen a lot of flowers... with more on the way.
