From left to right: bright nickel, dull nickel, bright chrome, dull chrome.
If I were a better photographer, I could probably get a better representation of the actual finish on these, but here's a brief description to help visualize the different finishes. The bright chrome is the shiny-est silvery finish--just like the chrome parts you'd see on a motorcycle. The bright nickel is similarly shiny, but it's a darker finish. It almost looks like it has a brownish tinge compared to the chrome. The dull chrome has a satin finish that looks light blue compared to the others. The dull nickel is most similar to titanium, but still a little more silver than grey.
The chrome is actually a second layer over the nickel. The platers say that the chrome is the most durable. The nickel will tarnish over time in a way that the chrome won't.

This is a photo of the former Superchrome Plating in Los Angeles, CA. Superchrome specialized in plating industrial parts primarily for the aerospace industry. I don't know when this picture was taken or who took it. Based on the vehicles just barely visible on the right hand side of the building I would guess it was taken in the 1950's or earlier. The building and tower were demolished around 1995 as part of a CERCLA Superfund removal by the U.S. EPA. I was a Response Manager for the contractor that conducted the cleanup and demolition of the buildings. I don't remember where I got this photo, it may have been salvaged from the office in the building before we demolished it.
The 100' tower was used to hoist long parts that were dipped into a 45' deep chrome vat below it. Unfortunately that vat as well as others leaked chromium contamination into the ground. We had to excavate a lot of soil that was then treated and disposed of at a hazardous waste landfill. You can see the bank of 3 large transformers just over the right side of the Superchrome sign, these plating shops used a lot of electricity in their process.
On a side note, one of my laborers rescued a kitten from inside the building before we demolished it. It followed my crew around the site for a while walking through the chromium contamination. I remember its paws were yellow from the chromium. I told my wife about the kitten and she said "don't come home without it". I live near Seattle so that meant taking it to the vet, getting a pet carrier and putting it on a plane. The cat (Hank) lived to be 16 years old and had a very good life.

Plating from a British WW1 Torpedo boat destroyer, Lelant, Cornwall.
Grid Reference: SW 5500 3777
see multimap
also google maps (aerial view)
looking in "Lost Ships of the West Country" by Martin Langley and Edwina Small, published by "Stanford Maritime" in 1988
This is a Torpedo Boat Destroyer, parts of the port side and superstructure built into the bank around 1920, at that time TW Ward (based in Essex) had a shipbreaking yard here (they had another 12 nationwide) and were breaking redundent vessels from WW1. The identity of this ship is unknown.
the book suggests this ship could be a veteren of Jutland.

in the photographs where the plating has collapsed you can see the fill of material behind, this includes a lot of reinforced concrete lamp posts, which I think are post 1945, it is suggested that these plates were built in the bank in 1920 to help reduce erosion, which makes me wonder why there is a later fill. I think it possible, although I have no evidence, that it could be the side of a wharf with a wooden floor on the top built to quickly expand the size of the wharfs here where they were ship breaking, these later became unsafe and some time after the second world war the space behind the plates was backfilled -all in my imagination unless someone can find some evidence.

This was a special trip for us. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and my wife's 10th anniversary in remission from breast cancer.
We had very nice dinners every night. We ate at Tidepools on Thursday. For our last night on Kauai we reserved a private dinner at Share the Stars.
It was very special. The experience and memories are definitely worth the cost. We have had better dinners, but this was still special and worth the price.
The young waiter was attentive but not the most experienced waiter we have had. The food was prepared and served from the Tidepools kitchen. The chef spent special time and attention preparing and plating the food.
Seeing the stars is special. This is one of the few places where you can see the stars of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

With all the holes in the cab floor filled. I have now started fitting extra plating to beef up the floor. Two plates cover the offside of the cab and has brought the dodge floor level. As you can see I have done away with all the holes in the cab floor. I did however have to retain some for the driver's seat and handbrake. The locations for these were carefully measured and cut into the steel as you can see they line up so I am happy with the job. Two possibly three plates will be needed on the nearside then paint at long last.

A Healthy Breakfast
Pan Seared Flounder, Apple, Tomato, Cucumber, Pan Seared Zuccini. All drizzled with Flax Seed oil.
it was a lovely morning;s light on the patio. These tomatoes are amazing. Not only are they a vivid deep red, they are sweet and delicious. And, they are grown nearby in Wilcox, Arizona. I bought a few more packs to last through the weekend!!
Euro Fresh Farms owns a gigantic tomato hothouse farming operation in the desert north of Wilcox, Arizona. www.eurofresh.com/ I don't see these "Large Cherry Tomatoes" on their page.
This diet is all in Ann Louise Gittleman's book "The Fat Flush Plan"
It does work when i stick to it. Really, a half pound to a pound a day. That's a 1/4 to 1/2 kilo a day for my metric aficionados ;) And, it is sooo delicious!!
