Ash tree replacement

I live on a farm with a lot of ash trees that are dead or in the process of dying from EAB.
This since the weather has been nice this past few weeks we are taking down about 20 trees in our grove- next year will probably be the rest from around the rest of the yard.
I was wondering what we are going to replace these trees with. I would like something that is relatively fast growing for a hardwood tree, low maintenance, and is not really “dirty” once grown.
I an 43 and would like to enjoy these new trees at some point fully grown, or is that a pipe dream?

On That Note: Nobody Does It Better

One of the longest and most successful movie franchises has been James Bond 007 series. Most have been recently available on Prime and I've been getting caught up and filling in the gaps.

This week's OTN is asking for your favorite 007 movie feature/theme song. And if it coincides with your favorite film let us know. Otherwise you may add which ever one is.

Lastly, another optional item; List your prefered Bond actors 1 through 5.

We are allowing multiple of the same, so go ahead and post even if your favorite(s) have already been posted.

Your OTN team are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Full Court (Im)Press: Restaurant Group Crushing It in Tough Times

I thought this was an interesting story by Andy Fales on the Full Court Press guys...e.g....Royal Mile, Fong's. El Bait Shop, etc. etc.etc. They have definitely made their mark on the metro DSM restaurant/bar scene.

I can remember when they opened the Royal Mile at the time when 4th St just off of Court Avenue was a sleepy, sketchy downtown street. It was definitely a risk.

At that time, the majority of people would got out west to hit bars for the weekend (e.g....86th St in Clive). These guys played a big part in turning the tide to people gravitating towards spending entertainment dollars downtown. .

Here is link to his story (with video):

2023 Football Senior Class

Thanks for sticking with it after 4-8 last year, the 1-2 non-conference start this year and the loss of starters due to the gambling fiasco. Going 5-2 in the conference and being in this position with 2 games left is due to your leadership and hard work these past several years. After the Ohio game, this program could have gone the wrong direction but you stuck with it and here you are. Who knows what the next two weeks have in store but your last two games will be played in sold out stadiums in relevant games and you and we fans have been rewarded. You deserve a thank-you and respect for your dedication to ISU football.

By my count, there are 13 seniors on the roster, 11 who signed as HS incoming. 3 defense starters and 2 offense starters. This is a small group who have stuck it out. The foundation has been set and with numerous returning starters, the future looks bright. And don't forget, this group forced this young team to earn their way as starters on the practice field.

You have beaten UT and K State in your careers and you can do it again. Go Cyclones!
