Are some of those local tiles chipped, or are those just "clean" spots on the tiles? Note: I realize that if they are chipped, it really does not matter.
They are a bit chipped, in fact, I saw a tiny piece float away right under the right most pin. If you look at the two pictures Zachstar posted above your question, you can see the difference.
Yeah, I thought I saw him kind of flick a flaked piece away.

I feel bad for the poor technician that has to pull all of those out in the OPF. Get your leather gloves and wire cutters ready!

2:57 Min EVA so far.
I think out of 6-7 Hours max.
So Plenty of time for solar panel retract and maybe the launch restraints.

Wow. Terrific work in those gloves, especially in not letting any of the pins get away!

STSPLUS? Never heard of it. I'm sure it's a neat tool.... Anyway keep up the good updates for us all.
C.
Charlie, yes it is neat, it is a DOS program that I am running under Windows inside a program called DOSBOX, it was made by the late David Ransom and I have been using for the past 10 years or so, it is available as shareware/freeware on the internet. Here is a screen shot of it, the iss/shuttle complex is the white mark on the orbit trace in the middle of the screen.

Mission: STS-117 - 21st International Space Station Flight (13A) -
S3/S4 Truss Segment Solar Arrays
Vehicle: Atlantis (OV-104)
Official Launch Date: June 8, 2007
Expected KSC Landing Date/Time: June 21, 2007, 1:52 p.m. EDT
Crew: Sturckow, Archambault, Reilly, Swanson, Forrester, Olivas and
Anderson
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Today is Flight Day 8 for STS-117 and Atlantis is docked to the
International Space Station. Crew members Jim Reilly and John Olivas
are preparing for the week's third spacewalk, a 6.5-hour excursion to
repair a thermal blanket on the orbiter and assist in folding up a
solar array on the station. On Tuesday, the crew unfurled the solar
array attached to the newly installed S3/S4 truss segment, which was
transported to the station on Atlantis. On Monday, Reilly and Olivas
conducted the first spacewalk to connect S1/S3 power cables, release
launch restraints and solar array blanket box restraints, and install
solar alpha rotary joint drive lock assemblies. On Wednesday, crew
members Patrick Forrester and Steve Swanson conducted the second
spacewalk, during which they helped to retract the 2B solar array
wing and prepared the solar alpha rotary joint between the S3 and S4
truss segments for rotation.
