I published a new YouTube video this morning. My previous video was about the delivery of the "Tracy's Tables" Quilters Workstation, and I had promised that the next would be a more detailed look at the sewing room and the workstation, but I decided that since we are still waiting on the new sewing chair to be delivered, this would be a good time to publish a prayer shawl video, as they are done, and ready to go to church. Figured I better get the end of this video, showing the shawls, done while I still have them at home.
Here is the link to the video:

Is BLOGGER really easy to use?
I wish I could answer that question. Maybe if I keep playing with it, maybe if I continue to use it on a regular basis. But as of now the answer is - not really.
Yes, I can easily post a comment (like this one) to my blog.
But try changing the "theme", or adding another blog that I want to follow to my profile, or changing the color of the text. (my text looks fine when I'm on a computer using a browser, but when I'm on my tablet using the blogger app, the text seems to disappear into the background of my site.)😕
So I'm going to try playing with this some more, and maybe I will get the hang of it.
I tried using "WordPress", but that is even more confusing, I understand that it is much more powerful, but wow is it overly complex. I have a background in programming (AS/400 systems from IBM) but that doesn't seem to help me with WordPress. So for now I am sticking with Blogger (a Google product). I also don't fully understand the difference between "Blogger" and "Blogspot", I thought (probably incorrectly) when I signed up for this site back in the dark ages, that Blogger and Blogspot were the same thing, obviously they are not, but who knew.
Well enough ramblings for today.

First attempt to post a link to a sharable WIF file
OK here I go with an attempt to create a blogger post that will contain a link to a sharable google drive file which is really an *.wif file which should be loadable into any weaving software.
The file is set up for sharing with anyone who has the link, so someone else should be able to click on this and then down load the wif file
Here is the link:
sample wif file
and now I m gonna publish this and see if I can download it using a different gmail address.

69
Just a few random thoughts on my 69th birthday.
James is at MEPS in Milwaukee today, enlisting in the Navy, with hopes to go to nuke school for an electronics technician rating.
It's still early morning and Judi is sleeping.
But I'm wide awake, why?
Another year! I hope it turns out to be a good one.

Thoughts on Trainz
Features that I want:
- The ability to search by subject
- The ability to include small pictures or diagrams in any posting
- A means of having a content list, almost like a table of content or a book index of various "articles" that I might write.
- I don't want this to be organized by date, as the standard "Blog" is organized.
Need to think on this and try stuff.
