A video I shot and edited from a tour of the Yazoo Brewery at their soon to be old location of the Marathon Motorworks building. Can’t wait to check out their new place at 910 Division in the Gulch in Nashville.
I never toured the brewery at Marathon so I am very happy to view and shared this video. I can’t wait to visit their new location. My empty growler needs some love.
I rode my bike this morning but not exactly how I had in the past.
First, I attached my messenger bag on my rack to reduce the stress on my back. Strapping a 15” MacBook Pro, clothes to change into, and other nuggets across my back in a messenger bag not designed for cycling is an unpleasant riding experience. The bag doesn’t stay where I need it to and pulls on my shoulder. Moving it was a great step but I didn’t have the hardware to optimally secure it. I settled hanging it on the side of the rack like a saddle bag. This made my bike lopsided and a I hit it often with my heel. It was an improvement and this weekend I will get it mounted differently.
I also took a different way to work thanks to Google’s new cycling routes. I drove the suggested route this week and was disappointed to see it take me over a huge hill and down an inaccessible alley. I tweaked the route by a few blocks and was able to increase my time on back roads. So much of my energy goes into taking off from a stoplight. The new path less physically and mentally stressful.
I haven’t checked out Google’s suggested return path in my car so the ride home should be interesting.

The travel bug bit me last weekend when Beth & I started talking about travel plans in the next year. What started out as a checking driving times for a few places turned into finding how far we could drive in 8 hours from Nashville in every direction.
I have started another blog, Nashville Skyline, to showcase photos of Nashville’s skyline. I thought about limiting it to photos only taken from the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge, which are the most cliché Nashville photos. But I love unique views of downtown so the range of angles will be wide. I found photos from the 60’s & 80’s that will be making their way out of the queue in a few weeks.
I spent a few hours this afternoon tweaking the Yay, Hooray! theme by rnch. I really like the header & font so I decided to tweak it instead of starting fresh. I’m very pleased with the final product.
Beginning Monday, March 15 (for the Muse concert) and continuing through May 31, 2010, Lot R at LP Field will be open for FREE parking with optional round-trip shuttle service for only $3 per person during every Bridgestone Arena event.
On Wednesday, the company is answering the call, offering biking routes in 150 American cities in Google Maps. Google plans to unveil the service during the National Bike Summit in Washington. The event will be followed by a group ride at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Tex.
I’m so excited to see this. I’m also sad to see the lack of friendly roads in Nashville.
My brother’s high school graduation date has been scheduled on the same day as the Tour de Nash, an event with multiple walking and biking courses. I saw a lot of riders last year and looked forward to participating in 27 mile gran tour this year. Maybe I’ll bring my bike up that weekend and have my own race. Tour de Eff? An Effin’ Bike Ride? I’ll have to think about a similar 27 mile course. Mom & Dad’s to Homewood Grill for a banana milkshake would motivate me. I would need to have another milkshake waiting at home home so I could make it back.
After my bicycle ride and Beth’s pirated vampire movie, we went walking down the Stones River Greenway. It’s a hilly path so two miles was more than enough for a post-ride Tyler and a recuperating Beth.

I’m practicing my CAPTCHA skillz for Brooks & Dunn’s last show together going on sale tomorrow morning.
The snow was supposed to stop around Noon. Four hours later we got a few minutes of large, beautiful flakes. Now the sun is shining.
The circulator bus will run from the Gulch to downtown and north to the Nashville Farmers Market.
This is great news for Nashville. The ‘Noog’s similar, free bus was a real treat.
Beth & I ventured out yesterday for lunch and grocery shopping. The side roads, espcially ours, were still covered in ice/snow. The main roads in town were passable but not as clear as I expected. The biggest surprise while driving was seeing the interstates with stacks of snow and slush on them. I would have thought that they would have been a high priority. It’s possible they were attended afterwards but I’m doubting it after hearing the traffic report this morning.
Davidson and Williamson county schools are closed. Beth’s school opened 2 hours hate which I thought was a good move. But they are also closing early which boggles my mind.
I need to buy a shovel and make a shit load of money when the next big snow falls in 7 years. I saw a handful of people trying to shovel ice away this morning. If they had moved the slush before it refreezed then they wouldn’t look like a fool on the sidewalks. Don’t get me started on the dumbasses spreading salt on top of inches of ice under the Renaissance.
