This year’s Pirate Viking Summer Festival will boast 10 food and drink vendors and dozens of craft merchants. If you’ve never tried mead and are curious, there will be plenty of opportunities to try the honey-based wine as well. “The whole premise behind mead is it was easier to ferment and keep and you can make plenty of it, as long as you had honey,” says Vigil.

The Pirate Viking Summer Festival is happening August 19 and 20 at the Wildlife West Nature Park at 87 N Frontage Rd. in Edgewood, NM. Gates open at 10:00 a.m. on both days. Saturday festivities wrap up at 6:00 p.m. and the festival ends at 5:00 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are $25 at the gate.

Firstly I am still rather new to iPhones. I have an iPhone 14 pro with the newest release version of iOS and use maps for navigation and Spotify for music over Bluetooth in my wife’s car. The onboard navigation lowers the music before giving a prompt, however with maps the volume of the music is most times louder than the directions.

I am looking to get tickets to come up and see gwar at isletta tomorrow but will not be able to leave to be there at doors. And as usual Isletta is very tight lipped with everything. Would hate to buy tickets and drive 80 miles just to miss the only band I want to see.

My son was at the flea market Friday and someone had a box of kittens. He texted to ask if he could have one and while waiting for a reply he was holding one. The guy with the box walked off leaving my son and someone else with a kitten. Vet says he is 4 weeks old, not even fully weaned.

How come you cannot send out two squads at the same time? I realize i cannot fight them both at the same time, but i could do one mission and then the next and the game test it as if they both happened at the same time.

BELEN, N.M. (AP) — President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he’s open to granting assistance for people sickened by exposure to radiation during nuclear weapons testing, including in New Mexico, where the world’s first atomic bomb was tested in 1945.

Biden brought up the issue while speaking Wednesday in Belen at a factory that produces wind towers.

“I’m prepared to help in terms of making sure that those folks are taken care of,” he said.

I am currently getting my '63 Ghia back onto the road, once I finish with that my '63 Transporter is next.

Repeatedly oiling and heating a cast-iron skillet gives it a nonstick surface due to a chemical process called polymerization. In the context of seasoning a cast-iron skillet, polymerization occurs when the oil is exposed to high temperatures, subsequently breaks down, and forms a bond with the metal. This process is more successful if the oil you use is high in unsaturated fat. There are many vegetable oils that are rich in both mono and polyunsaturated fats, but avocado oil outperforms others due to its higher smoke point.

The smoke point of refined or regular avocado oil falls between 500 and 520 degrees Fahrenheit. By contrast, grapeseed oil, a more commonly recommended seasoning oil, is 420 degrees Fahrenheit. That's high, but it's still significantly lower than the smoke point of unrefined or extra virgin avocado oil, which is 482 degrees. 

A higher smoke point causes polymerization to occur at a much slower rate, which is precisely what yields a more solid nonstick coating. As a result, your cast iron will stay seasoned for far longer.

I have always used peanut or vegetable oil on my cast iron.

Sometimes when I open GoodNotes the tab screen closes and it goes to the document screen, but when I open a file all of my tabs are still open. Is there a way I can always have the tabs open? Or go from the documents to the tabs without having to open a document?

ETA: This is mostly regarding GoodNotes on iPad.

I use an iPad as my cash register for my business, I am looking for a way to change the Auto-Lock timer while the shop is open to keep the screen from sleeping, then when I close change it to allow it to sleep again.

I am on Chapter 5 of Season 1 and am almost done, but cannot get credit for opening a tortured gift for boon in the tide. Today alone I claimed 3 in tier 3 and 1 in tier 4.

I collected enough for a mystery gift, but was unable to find one in time so I had to settle for a smaller one.

Has anyone else had this happen? Any luck with it?
