ARC trooper Frost stood on docking platform 717 waiting alongside ARC Flare and Sargent Wake for their newly formed TTitanium squad. Part 1itanium squad, consisting of fifteen troopers. Frost: "I thought they were sending us fully grown troops, not just a bunch of inexperienced boys," showing his disapproval. Flare: "Give 'em a break Frost, some of these 'boys' as you call them, have as much experience as you and me, and the shiny ones are top of their class." Frost: "Well, I still don't think they'll watch our backs for us." Just as those words flew out of Frost's mouth, the clone without his helmet on said, "Heh, who does that gray ARC trooper think he is calling 'a shiny'?" Sargent Wake, who had been keeping quiet, shouted at the trooper asking his nickname and number. The clone rolled his eyes and said his name was Buzzard. Sargent Wake replied "I repeat what is your number, your conduct could get you court marshaled for insubordination!" Buzzard retorted, "how would you like it if all of a sudden some Sargent started yelling at you? I have sixty-seven combat missions under my belt and I've destroyed 90 clankers and 12 destroyer
Droids, I DESERVE MORE RESPECT!!!!!! Meanwhile the other troopers looked on in amazement as this veteran trooper openly defied his superior. Frost, quickly dismissed the two troopers before anything big started. He raised his voice and said, "Well what a way to start a mission, I hope you all know what you're doing here, but just in case I'll say it again so listen up! The droid factory on Ringo Vinda, is manufacturing thousands of battle droids a rotation. Also it is rumored to be a research hub with new weapons appearing often, If the power reactors can be shut down and key installations destroyed, it will save the lives of hundreds, even thousands of our brothers" After this all the men were silent. Frost said their shuttle would arrive very soon, so every clone should triple check his weapons and gear. An ARF trooper from the 501st who called himself Grinder nervously asked Frost what were the odds of them surviving and Frost was just about to answer when one of the pilots from their shuttle arrived to say it was time to move out. "All right then boys, you heard the pilot lets get rid of those clankers! Frost said.
My first story mission of many to come!
I thought maybe some of you guys might want to make up multiple story lines to go along with this one it might be fun! Hope you enjoyed my build!
Sincerely,
ARC trooper Frost a.k.a Sir Henry of Wickware.
Looking for titanium oxide can be really fun ;)
I´ve been very busy guys. I promise to catch up soon =)
Macro of a titanium drillbit. They are a huge improvement over the normal ones, as they cut through stuff like butter. As I am not that strong this is important to me, as the drill is already pretty heavy.

My 2013.5MY Ford Mondeo Titanium X Hackney Carriage Taxi getting fettled at the hand car wash on Sipson Road right next door to London Heathrow Airport in London (UK).
A very thorough wash was conducted here as expected. Much cheaper to than my usual local hand car wash too. This place is AxeAdvisor recommended.
Note the option fitted at extra cost (when new) 18 inch '5x Y spoke' alloy wheel(s).

At last! I have had this on order for ages - well 6 weeks anyway.
So now I'll be able to ride my road bike again. I have taken my road bike out once since getting the Brooks Team Pro for my tourer. The gel saddle on it just doesn't work for me anymore since experiencing a Brooks.
I bought it from Bicycle Doctor in Manchester who gave excellent service - they had a great selection of Brooks saddles in stock - it was only by feeling the difference between a saddle with titanium rails vs one with steel rails that convinced me to go with the titanium.

In 1994, Contax introduced an apparent oddity: a new line of interchangeable-lens rangefinder cameras that did not use the established Leica-M or Leica-screw lens mounts.
The new camera, the Contax G1, used the "G"-mount, an electronic autofocus mount. Critics were quick to accuse the camera of not being a "true" (mechanical) rangefinder, since it used autofocus and electronically-linked mechanisms. But the AF mechanism in the G1 does indeed use a twin-window system much like that of the older mechanical rangefinders—only in electronic form.
The lenses made by Zeiss for the G-series quickly established it as a camera of worth: the original 45mm f/2 Planar was joined by a 28mm f/2.8 Biogon and a 90mm f/2.8 Sonnar; a 21 f/2.8 Biogon, 16mm f/8 Hologon and a 35mm f/2 Planar were added later. The 45mm Planar in particular gained renown as the sharpest 35mm camera lens ever tested by the Swedish test site Photodo — outclassing even the illustrious Leica50mm Summicron.
With its titanium clad body, sophisticated electronic rangefinder and superb lenses, the G system has not been equalled in the years since its introduction.

Olympus digital camera. This is the Motherland statue, which is at The National Museum of The History of Ukraine in the Second World War. When I visited in 2003, I was very moved by the exhibits. In particular photos of smart young servicemen in their formal uniforms who had subsequently been killed during the war, and a table laid for a meal; again commemorating the dead.
