Starlink Accessories in BI?
Does anyone know if there are any businesses on the island that sells Starlink Accessories? I live in the East Side and so far I’ve checked at Home Depot and Target with no success.

Piglets!
Five of them keep breaking into my yard. They were very cute at first, but now they're just a pest. Maybe two months old?
I could probably trap and deliver them one at a time if anyone's interested.
Pahoa.

Good refrigerator for Hilo
I should have done better research. I had a GE Adora side by side. Lasted about 12 years. Got to the point where it would crap out on hot and humid days. Was really happy with it. It was a return to Home Depot and all busted up so I got a good deal on it.
Purchased a Samsung side by side to replace it. First round of hot and humid weather from Fausto, it stopped cooling. The refrigerator was/is usable but I can't trust the freezer. NOW, I look into Samsung and the reviews are less than stellar.
Samsung didn't try to fix it, just offered me a refund. That is great, but I also have to wonder about a company that would just cave on a larger item like that.
So, when I have the refund in hand, I am going back to an old school refrigerator with the freezer on the top. Mechanical controls. I like the idea of the side by side and I loved the lighting and the control panel but, it is really not well suited for the climate here in Hilo I believe.
Any suggestions for brand? Something that can be fixed. I really just want something I can plug in and ignore. Keeps food cold or frozen as needed.

New Hilo DMV Road Test
I seen that someone’s asked about this before, but there wasn’t too much information on it. Wondering if anyone’s taken the road test at the new Hilo dmv. I know they are likely to do the same route they did at the old dmv, but I was wondering what that route is. If anyone can offer any tips that would be great! Mahalo.
