may. the 5th month of christmas

i have to say, may was pretty slow considering the past few months. but fun none the less. the short story of the month was work and play.

"the reed"

work. i started work at walter reed army medical center on a
general medicine/ortho ward. no real big story here. 

some quick army news.

out with the old, in with the older!

i know what you're all thinking. "i love those things!"
yeah well try wearing one. they give you weird tan lines. they're hot
they don't block the sun. they fly off in the wind. and worst
of all, people who don't take the time to wear them in properly
make them look horrible.

so the they finally ditched them for this! 

back to the PC!

the patrol cap. practical. fits in a pocket. comfortable. bullet proof.
light weight. invisible to radar.
liked by everybody in the army....

and that was your army modern happenings lesson for the day

in other news, i've been continuing to make my way around the area... 

another miranda lambert show. always fun,

the beach!

on the east coast. 

i made my way out to ocean city and for the
first time in my life set foot into atlantic ocean.
pretty cool

but not as cool as the ferris wheel, the airplane
flying adds by on a streamer, 

or the boardwalk full of awesome fair food

and lastly, i caught a crab. 

i like doing stuff like this. i'm not sure what it is, but when i
got here i decided i needed to catch and eat a crab. so nate
and i set out on a youtube/google adventure and found out
all we needed. so we got it. fishing/crab licenses. a crab pot.
some string. chicken wings. the K-bar...obviously.

a beer. a book.
so we set out for the bay, found a little pier, and went to work.
it took forever. we had barely anything to show, but finally, when
we pulled up one of our lines, this little guy popped out.
and thats a wrap. some old bay, a pot full of water,
 and dinner is served!
served
