They have a well planned route they drive for several hundred miles. They stop at various towns with the caravan of camero. They get to spend the day talking about their cameros! Matt and Brett had a great day.

Matt has been putting on some weight. He is in the high 130's. Officially we do not see the Doctor until November. He is eating an he can now drink a soda from the refrig. It still is just a tad cold but nothing like before where he would have to have his drinks at room temperature. He said that food still dose not taste yet. He is hoping that comes back soon.
