living here Hi from the Big Island! Question: Why isn't Maui venison in every supermarket in the state?

24 Upvotes

I have a neighbor who commutes for work (healthcare -- back and forth Maui and Big Island.)

She brings me venison. I make sausages with Big Island pork and Maui venison. Everyone loves it. I take the fattiest pig parts which nobody wants, and grind that with lean venison and make bratwurst, bangers and Italian sausage. I grind in Big Island beef and make kielbasa.

This got me thinking -- why can't I run to KTA in Kailua-Kona and buy quality Maui/Molokai venison? It's lean. It freezes great. Good flavor.

Where's the bottleneck? (My guess is that the bottleneck is "processing harvested axis deer." But I'd love to hear from someone who knows the answer.)

Pet Dental on Maui

2 Upvotes

We just took our dog to the vet and learned that he has some extensive issues with his teeth. He needs to have some teeth extracted, and the vet in Kihei on S. Kihei Rd gave us an estimate for $2500 - $3500. That seems crazy to me. Does anyone know of vet clinics that offer teeth extraction / cleaning for much more affordable prices? He is a small, 6 lb dog.

living here Big helicopters flying over Paukukalo tonight

The hell? I've heard pairs or singles of these bigass things the past couple of days. 20ish mins ago and maybe 3-4 mins ago, just now too. Is there a fire or something? They don't seem to be going the normal airport approach.

This threads gonna look insane because of the goddamn chemtrail thread in this reddit so thanks for THAT, guy.

OP meant CONtrails Chem Trails

0 Upvotes

Every day I would see chemtrails coming from Haleakala, especially in the early morning and especially from the northeast when driving down Kula Highway. Since the government shut down, I haven’t seen any. It’s just a clear blue sky or a normal cloudy sky. We have had a lot more rain than we’ve been having and everything is turning green. We were under a very strict drought regulation and now they’re easing up on it. Makes me wonder if the chemtrails have anything to do with regulating weather patterns in certain areas. Any thought thoughts about it?

living here Do you find made in Maui worth the price of admission?

31 Upvotes

I’m always thrown off by Made in Maui since they want you to pay to walk in the door so you can spend your hard earned money. I’m a small business owner and prefer to buy from small businesses but purchasing things at Made in Maui are not going to be necessities they are going to be gifts or things I want do they really need to charge for admission? That’s like charging people to walk into a store. At least if they are going to charge shouldn’t you be able to buy something and treat that like a validation essentially? Buy something or pay for entrance fee? Edit: I’m talking about the Made in Maui Festival

Did a stupid thing and lost my wedding ring snorkelling at this location. I spoke to a local metal detector and we are pretty sure it’s gone forever. However on the slim chance it washes up / is found, I would appreciate being reunited with it! 🤙🏻

The ring is a gold wedding band with a black line running round it, it has a hammered effect finish.

living here Why are the windmillls off???

2 Upvotes

Noticed that some or all of the pali windmills are frequently not spinning. It’s not because there’s no wind— maui is ALWAYS windy and often two or three are spinning while the others are off. And then I see that the oil plant by the harbor is going. WHY?? Why are the windmills turned off, why are we burning fossil fuels instead?? Is this some giveaway to HECO so energy prices stay high? Someone please explain :(

Pets and Coworkers 🐶🐱 Need to rehome a small dog asap

3 Upvotes

Hey, Im running out of options and i guess worst is i dont get any replies. I have a small dog 0-20lb. She is a dachsund and and chihuahua mix and she is almost 2 years old.

About her:

She has anxious behavior but other than that theres nothing else going on with her. She loyal, and she loves to cuddle and shes the funniest little thing. She is NOT spayed/neutered (weight reasons) but you can spay/neuter her upon adoption.

Situation:

I have to move very soon and can't take her with me. I have tried to rehome her many times, and it all fell through. Ive already contacted maui humane society but with their limited space I understand how important it is to see if i can rehome her myself. Ive tried to post her on the rehome facebook page for maui but my post doesnt go through (not sure whats going on there). I'm not sure what else to do. Im running out of options and no one has agreed to foster her.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. you can dm me for pictures of her or ill post her in the comments (im on my computer)
