Looking for paakai, any connects? Mahalo!
Aloha, my parents live in Princeville and I'm wondering if there are any meal kit services that deliver to Kauai? I've checked Hello Fresh, Every Plate, and Fresh Box and they do not, but perhaps there is something more local or another company doing this that someone knows of? Mahalo.
I figure I could start searching from here instead of cold calling restaurants, but that's my next step. I'm in search of a support kitchen for some BBQ pop-ups. A support kitchen is required by the DOH. I know I can do whatever and sell on the side of the road, but I'm trying to be compliant as possible. I plan to prep at home for the most part but I'm trying to be as above board as I possibly can. Lmk if any of you get some leads on someone that is willing to sign off. I'm located in Kapahi.
Anyone know of a mechanic to help repair a Yamaha gas powered golf cart?
It seems that all of the attention is given to the North Shore or Poipu area, the West Side especially is being neglected. Every week, new abandoned vehicles appear, and nothing is done about them. These cars often get tagged by the cops then left to deteriorate until they’re eventually set on fire, and even then, they remain untouched. I can think of at least twelve vehicles in this situation or on their way. Half of them have been there for a while now.
I understand why people abandon these cars — proper disposal is costly. However, the recent increase in illegal dumping on the West Side is concerning. If someone is going to dump a vehicle, they might as well take it somewhere that will prompt a quick response, like in front of Kukui'ula, where it would likely be towed the next day. The lack of action has been a bit frustrating.
there is a small blue parrot flying around by the boys and girls club area. it has a small little leg tag with a 70 on it's leg. it went to my friend, then it flew away. as of this post, it is cruising around the boys and girls club. however, it doesn't trust us so keeps flying but staying in the area
How’s everyone liking having solar at their home? For some reason I’m skeptical to invest in it. My main concern is that maintenance will be needed and I’ll get stuck paying for that.
We got a visit from Sunrun and they had an offer where they own and maintain the panels? Anyone gone for that and how’s it working out?
She was known by thousands for her years of fun and jewelry making at her happy place-the Haena Beach Park pavilion... among many other things. She will be greatly missed!
My wife and I happened to be on the same plane from Seattle as the Kaua’i High cheer team on their way home after taking first in the competition out in Florida. They looked so happy and so tired.
Any idea now that Haleakala left? I sent a warranty request to Haleakala but no response yet.
zoom in for the tacoma with a great parking spot for fishing lol
Hiking to the Nā Poli waterfall today and we found a iPhone in one of the stream crossings.
If it's yours hit me up to identify the case. Will be on island until this coming Friday.
Why isn’t electricity cheaper on Kauai considering we have a not-for-profit coop and a trendsetting move towards renewable power?
Horrible since .2:40. From Anahola to lihue
I am wanting to get my motorcycle endorsement here in Kauai and was just wondering if there is a driving test you have to do with the DMV along with a written test? Also curious to know if there are any driving courses I can take on the island because I can not find anything on google. Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know where there might be an adopt a family tree?
I looked for the info online, but the Marine Corp site is out of date. The info is on the Garden Isle Newspaper site, and I don't subscribe. Anyone know dates and locations?
Does this look like Coconut rhinoceros beetle? Kaua'i
So I gotta know from others on kauai, do you guys get ticketed for speeding? Now speeding im talking like “”‘normal’””speeding- going 50-55 along the stretch from lihue to wailua (40mph limit). Pushing 60 from Tunnel or trees to Omao (50mph limit). Ive seen that Undercover Grey 4Runner Cop pulling over people multiple times along the wailua stretch, but Im wondering if those people were really going over the limit hard, or if they were ‘normally’ speeding and was just unlucky. I wonder if Kauai cops normally have a “yea thats too fast” limit, or are butt-clenched-strict on following the speed limit- or if certain areas are worse than others.
I know the stretch down by the base is where races happen and there arent to many cops there. Allegedly*
Which restaurants offer the best breakfast menu on island, and what should I buy? Mahalo in advance.
On the Canyon Trail to Waipo'o Falls today there were two stray dogs. A male and a female, the male would not leave the female's side, who was somewhat emaciated.
They were very sweet and were past the little dirt road parking lot. They walked to the falls and back. I'm attaching a photo. If anyone is hiking to Waipo'o Falls, please look out for them- I think the female will die soon if not taken to the humane society.
Please at least bring food if you'll be on the trail.
EDIT: The amazing folks at the Humane Society are aware of the dogs being up there for weeks, and have made efforts to get them with no success yet. I think they may be spooked of these particular people now, because the dogs ate out of my hands and followed me for a while. I'm certain if I had more food they would have followed me all the way to my truck. The humane society said they would be able to help the dogs if anyone is able to bring the dogs to them.
Mahalo!
Anyone know what started the fire on Anini Beach today? Many choppers dumping water down there rn.
Does anyone know any establishments giving out meals or place to eat for today?
Trying to get some kind of thanksgiving meal due to me being alone for the holiday.
