Who doesn't love....

BBQ and a beer!
One of my few vices!
Last time was at lunchtime on payday about 3 years ago.
That afternoon, my right ankle began to hurt. I hobbled out to the mailbox.....but didn't think I was going to make it back to the house!
I was in "P-A-I-N"!!!! 🤯
I spent the rest of the afternoon in my recliner, but nothing I did eased the pain.
Not ice.
Not heat.
Not even the Lortab I had left over from a surgery!

Finally, at bed time, I told the boss, "Let's go to the ER! I HURT!"

Two hours later, the report came back! GOUT!
Yeppers! Beer and BBQ are too rich for my aged old a$$!
I can still eat BBQ, but DO NOT touch a beer! ☹️🍺
