Was lucky that the centerline for both transits were within 6 miles of my house, and on a weekend, and with clear skies. I've discovered that the centerline from CalSky was a little bit off on both, but the time was perfect. Ed Morana's ISS Prediction software's centerline was perfect, but the time was about 2s off.
This is a page I made that I use for predictions... Unfortunately it's not that useful for people more than 100 miles of Bowling Green, KY.

Fourth of July transit was spot on. Couldn't ask for better sunspots too.

2014-07-04_ISS_Solar_Transit by DoubleACR, on FlickrThis was the first time I've tried to shoot the ISS during the day and settings were 1/2000, F/10, ISO 400 ... and it seemed to work ok... but not as good as I would like... might want to try a faster shutter speed next time. Also I was a split second late in starting and missed the transit of the visible disk. I'll get it next time.
