Seems TW has twice the titanium screws that I do in my legs, mine are just in my left shin in both the tibia and in the fibula, His are in both legs, 3 months and his legs should be healed as that is how long it took for my leg to heal up.

His ankle? I've no idea how long that will take to heal up, though they're using screws there too.

He should be fitted for 2 boots that He'll wear for 3 months.

Titanium is a compatible metal for the human body, don't know if it pings or not, but they're part of me and not removable.

He'll also have to go into the Doctors office to have any stainless steel staples in his skin inspected and soon enough removed.

Posting while enjoying a coffee break as I wait for the dish washing water to cool down just enough to get my hands into it.

They are talking about some rain latter this week. Not much of it if it does happen.

Hey, I like the windy symbol! :-)

Well, we seem to have monsoon type conditions here: clear skies in the morning, quickly turning to ever more fluffy bits as the sun rises, then developing to ever more wet stuff as the sun progresses across the sky...

Must check to see how the Atlantic spanning low pressure is meandering...

And as for the kinks in the jet stream?!

I did find one weather report from Mars:

The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquires a global view of the red planet and its weather patterns every day.

Martian weather between May 14, 2018 and May 20, 2018:

The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquires a global view of the red planet and its weather patterns every day.

Between May 14 and May 20, 2018 on Mars, weather patterns were fairly typical for this time of martian year. A large dust storm was observed over Cimmeria and Sirenum at the beginning of the week. In the following sols, the dust lifting quickly abated but a residual dust haze was observed spreading eastward over Aonia. Looking to the northern plains, a number of dust storm and water-ice clouds were spotted propagating east from Arcadia to Utopia. Dust lifting along the equatorial latitudes was rather uneventful apart from a tiny spiral storm near the caldera of Pavonis Mons at the start of the week. For most afternoons, condensate water-ice clouds continued to linger over Tempe landforms, Tharsis Montes slopes, and plateaus near Valles Marineris. Both rovers, Opportunity in Endeavour Crater and Curiosity in Gale Crater explored under storm-free conditions throughout the week.

Things have a funny pattern in them. Just heard some news about my stepsister.
I just started listening to a audiobook “Reaper Man” by Terry Pratchet yesterday. Called my stepmom today and she sounded down in the dumps. She was sad about hearing her daughter had passed away yesterday. FYI IMHO my stepsister lived the “evil” lifestyle. She burned the candle at both ends and in the middle. She finally ended up on kidney dialysis and her liver wasn’t fairing well. She had a couple of other health problems to boot. I might not cry about it maybe just a moist eye over her passing. I like how they said in the movie “Little Nicky”. She went “South. Really Deep South.”

Edit: (So as not to be due drinks...)

Reaper Man was very cleverly written for some very good anthropomorphic morphing, all to very good thoughtful and sometimes hilarious and sometimes goodly sentimental effect. Terry Pratchett was a genius!

Condolences and it is always good to enjoy your time, at all whichever ends.

Best wishes,
Martin

I rather prefer Terry Pratchett's take on "pushing back the event horizon of ignorance"...
