I will be going to our cottage on Lake Erie soon for vacation. My lovely wife has put her foot down and said that I cannot pull my 4 X 8 layout out of the basement and haul it across the Ohio Turnpike so that I can work on it while we are there. For God sake, I put casters on it.
So I am looking for a good read while I sit on the beach and drown some worms waiting for some perch or sheephead to bend the fishing pole. Anyone have any good reading suggestions?
By the way...I hate fiction. I love anything to do with history. I was born in Youngstown, Ohio so I like to read anything I can about railroads and the steel industry. After the sun is high in the sky and the aformentioned fish go deep and laugh at my efforts that morning.... I love to make the short drive to Ashtabula, Ohio and watch the coal trains roll in from West Virginia. The lake freighters pull into the harbor and load up for ports unknown on the upper Great Lakes. It is a neat operation to watch.
I hope everyone is having a great start to their summer.
