Sprained my lower back a little moving some stone and building a border around the rose garden and pepper patch, lower legs a little swollen, but otherwise OK. I got a bottle of that sylvestre leaf you pointed me to - I'll try it a few weeks and monitor my sugar to see if it works. I may not know 100% because the doc put me on Adipex to lose weight and a low carb diet, so that'll knock my A1C down, too, but I can stick myself and check my fasting sugar a few times a week.

Damn it! Just started coals on the grill fifteen minutes ago to cook two small racks of Ray Fieri baby back ribs, and the wife yells for me. The was nothing - NOTHING - on the radar, but it started raining! I just burned two fingers getting the top vent closed to save the coals. Just checked the radar again, and it was some little cloud about the size of my yard overhead that decided to wring itself out on my coals. Nothing else for at least fifty miles in any direction. I don't even think the neighbors' lawns got wet. I think that was God's awy of punishing me for not going to church this morning.

She had the forethought to run out and slam the lid shut first, so I think I may have saved it.
