The Jack Harlow tweet was epic cringe. Just horrible.

-Looks like we are losing some shrubs as well. Our landscaper (Mr. Jeff, who Is awesome. H/t to @B Rax again on that rec years ago) is doing maintenance this week and figuring out what can be cut back and what has to be replaced. The nandina's are starting to bud so that's good. But our tall boxwoods under the basketball goal are brown as can be. That's not gonna be fun to replace.
-Did everyone see Mrs.‘s Cal’s post the other day with video of John walking Palmer in the doggie stroller? Wish I had been jogging by at that time and I would have gotten a selfie for you all.
-As @anthonys735 said the other day, vacation was nice, but it’s really just a trip when it’s with small kiddos. Everyone had fun though and we are already planning next year.
-First Communion coming up for G. My Southern Baptist grandmother may be rolling over in her grave, but she’ll be alright. This scrapbook he has to complete is quite the task.
-Our 16 year old dog, Clyde, went to the rainbow bridge last month. He really was the best dog. It’s so strange not having him around. He was having so many mobility issues at the end… couldn’t walk on the hardwoods (so we had a mashup of cheap washable Amazon rugs all over the house) or get up and down the steps without help. He was in PT twice a week, got acupuncture, did the hyperbaric chamber. It all helped him last 16 years until he was just too tired. I only made one social media post about it though. Feeling like I'm cheating him out by not posting each day like @PTI (pti) 's cat parent friend.
-I found out I am on call for 6+ months for US district court jury duty. If I didn’t have young kids and a job, I think I would like jury duty or at least find it interesting. And I recognize I'm lucky to live in the same city as the court. But geez... 6+ months. I got kids! I got the initial notice when Clyde was still alive and was trying to figure out how to get it postponed because I was his primary caretaker and couldn't be gone for more than a couple hours or else he'd be stuck on the floor or have had an accident that required a bath. Do judges like dogs?
-Condolences to all of you who knew someone in the tragedy on Monday. How awful. I can’t bring myself to watch the body cam. Prayers to that young officer and his recovery. And to everyone. It’s just so overwhelming. My sis works right around the corner and was down there Monday morning.

Just finished up the landscaping proposal for our new build - hopefully the last overage of this god forsaken house I’m going to build. LOL. Pretty sure no one would even believe the price WITHOUT GRASS. That will need to be seeded by 5 different breeds due to the conditions of my property (mature trees are in the back). I’m not even a yard guy either, good grief. Don’t build a house.
RIP to Clyde, a real one.
Dogs are the best. If I ever run for office (lol) my ads are just gonna have dogs in them.

RIP, Clyde. A true GYERODOG.
We lost our nandinas, but our boxwoods made it. We don't have any, but apparently the laurels were massacred. Thousands of them in Norton Commons will need to be replaced.
I generally like mature trees, but two mature maples have turned our front yard into nothing but roots. Might as well put down gravel. If it were up to me, I'd probably rip them out, but Mrs. CMD likes the shade.

Clyde, named after Billy Clyde. It's really been that long since we hired that doofus. Clyde the dog > Clyde the coach.
Clyde was basically the last of the OG Gyero dogs.

Related but my pet sea monkey Shaedon isn’t doing so hot either.
Don't forget @B.B.d.K. still has Gillie and my cat Harry Harrison is still kicking.
We had "Purry" Stevenson, in honor of Tubby's accent.

Every single laurel in the neighborhood is dead. I had like 25 of them - and other than the cost of new landscaping I couldn't be happier that they're gone. Those plants suck. We're replacing them now with some plants that actually look good.
Mr. Jeff is the GOAT - I still stay in touch with him. Super guy. It’s been 9 years since I gave y’all that Rec 🤯 time absolutely flies.
I’m still sick over that guy digging up my crape myrtles. One was an absolute specimen. Don’t usually see them in that good of shape in this climate. I treated that thing better than I treat my dog.
The house I bought had a small crape and it appears to be dead. I was planning on replacing it with a few Natchez anyway.
I’ve yet to see a Laurel in good condition after the December cold snap. Those things are right on the line for our hort zone but they usually survive our winters. Sad!
(4) middle school baseball games this week and a tourney this weekend + actual spring weather = time for a snuscation. Might even finally break out the Weber this weekend and have a couple ice cold beers. It’s been a while.

-wife and daughter want a cat. As wife is very allergic to normal cats...we're looking at the little hairless ****ers. I was skeptical as they are creepy looking as all get out... went to a dinner party where the host had 2, they were great cats.
^told them that if we get one I'm calling it Chris Rodriguez, they think I'm kidding.

So the college football portal will reopen from April 15-30?
Is this something new? Are we targeting anyone? TIA.

The only good thing about a modern house cat is that they’re soft and pleasant to pet. A hairless one seems to defeat the purpose.
From Drum's Notebook: 
* As he’s walking away and spots someone in a Masters hat, Stoops notes that he’s playing Augusta National soon. Asked if his doctor has approved that coming off his shoulder surgery, Stoops says, “I don’t care.” LOL He’s getting that round in at the Mecca of Golf.

Our neighbors (not Ray) have a hairless cat and that thing always creeps me out when it's looking out the window.
Braxton (Kelley) is still kicking...getting up there, though.
We lost our older pup in December 2021. Just adopted a shepherd mix puppy from a rescue last week. Buckley, or Sir Buckley if you want to be formal.
Can't imagine life without doggos.

One of our rescues, Ralph (named after Hacker), turned 11 recently and he loves eating and napping.
Good for Matt calling out Cameron today. Question I have is why though… does he think he has it in the bag already or bc of something else?
I’m not sure what grates on my nerves more, a grown ass man using the word “kiddo’s” or “doggo’s”.
-Lawn guys are just stoned at least, coming from a guy that worked for a lawn service in the summer one year.
-Has walk in closet but no mature trees. 😢
-I basically just need a weed eater for my front yard. #poorANDuglyandstupid
Backyard is basically sage (I think, the oriole stuff blooming now), have a dog as did the people before me. Fenced in backyard and don’t care what it looks like.

Current annoyances:
~ People who insist on posting "that's a feature, not a bug"
~ People talking louldy, in their car alone and using their hands. Who in the hell are you talking to at 8:15AM that you haven't already talked to? (it's always their mother, by the way)
~ People who can loop a conversation into hot topics no matter the current conversation (sex, politics, religion, etc.)
~ People trying to FAAFO but never actually finding out. It's rude out there these days.
Current enjoyances:
~ Righteous Gemstones
~ Yard season is upon us
~ Gummy/beer screen porch season is upon us
~ Boat season is on the periphery
~ Starting jiu jitsu with my 9 year old

- Oldest finally found her college home after a long process. An absolute roller coaster for the past year or so, but she has found a place she loves, a great school, and will be able to go there debt-free. Can't ask for more than that. Felt weird buying the whole family some new school merch, but seeing her excitement was a real thrill for ol' Dad here. Pretty proud.
- There will never be an NBA player like Udonis Haslem again. Undrafted, signs with his hometown team, spends TWENTY YEARS with that same team, and yet never an All-Star. Just an amazing story, and speaks so much to the culture that Riley/Spoelstra have created.

I drive a lot for work and actually prefer to be on the phone at all times. If I don’t have a work-related call I find a baseball friend and call them up to gossip about travel baseball. Podcasts as a last resort. Only listen to music in the evenings. Idk why.
Also do most of my talking in the truck driving. Lost time otherwise.
Only FaceTime my kids.
I used to love texting, but EVERYONE prefers machine gun texts it seems so I literally only text if it’s like an email situation and your response triggers me to remember something, or I know you can respond in a short and concise way.

As a guy who commutes 70 miles a day, the driver talking to someone at 6:30 in the morning always perplexed me. I need coffee, music or news, and no one bothering me as I gird for the Bataan Death March of the day to begin.
Back in to parking space guy is moving up the charts.
The McDonalds menu has not changed in 50 years. You should know your order the minute you arrive at the intercom.
Consulting gal. Value proposition. I stop her and say, we don't talk like that here. In English please.
