Looks about right for a wood shed - Done. Now on to the next project ...

I agree with you that it is a woodshed, not the presidential bunker, so this is not a criticism. I just didn't see anyone answer your question about the tie plate fasteners.
At least here (can't say for your area), it would be the screws you used instead of nails. Since nails, generally, have a much higher shear strength than screws, most codes require nails (or engineered screws) to be used for all plate fasteners.

Am I seeing correctly in the pictures and the post of the shed roof are resting on top of the concrete blocks ? If so what holds the roof down in a wind ? I probably am missing something.

You mean side-to-side? Look under the "Posted" sign and above the RTV. You'll see two 2x4x12 that go from the pole barn structure at a 45 degree angle to the joist header board. Makes the structure very solid side to side, unlike the gussets at each vertical column.

Yes, just like the first woodshed, except the concrete blocks are half buried. There is nothing holding the vertical 4x4 columns other than the weight of the structure. And of course, the horizontal 2x4s and 2x6s which are currently installed. In addition, each bay will be separated by horizontal 2x6's like the original woodshed, and then the firewood stacked against it.
