This past winter was the driest ever, and the amount of time lost to weather was a record low. Our time lost to faults continues to be low as well. This is primarily due to our outstanding staff, who are very diligent about preventative maintainance and lending a hand at all hours over the phone to find work-arounds for problems. You make my job MUCH easier. The semester's statistics.

Above this, we have not had a soaking rain since November. All the grasses are totally brown. The mamane trees are beginning to become very stressed, and some are dying. This will no doubt put stress on the endangered palila bird, which depends on the mamane for its sole source of food. Perhaps when some tropical systems or remnants thereof come into our area, we may get some real moisture at that elevation.
