John and I got up as soon as the alarm went off at 6:15 a.m. We had to be at the Honda dealer's by 8 a.m. to drop the car off for an alignment. It was going to take a couple of hours before the car would be ready so we got another loaner vehicle. We had an hour before John was due at the surgeon's for his final checkup, and since we didn't take the time to eat before we left home, we headed across the street to Country Kitchen for one of their delicious breakfasts.

John got a good report on his shoulder. Everything has healed up nicely and he has no activity restrictions. The doctor only advised against one thing and that was not to do heavy work above his head--something he will always have to guard against. He mainly needs to use caution and common sense when doing certain things.

Since we were still waiting for a call that the car was done, we headed to Gander Mountain so John could buy his deer hunting license (he finally made the decision to hunt). From there we went to the mall where we did a little shopping and visited with an old friend we saw. We were just getting ready to leave when we got the call that our car was ready. We made one final stop to pick up some milk and then we hit the road to home.

After lunch John went down to the shop to make a few more parts that were needed. While he was busy with that, I took care of some chores around the house. We spent the evening watching Survivor and a couple of other favorite TV shows.
