My Where's George Week in Review: 03/18/12 - 03/24/12

In the past week, I received 29 hits in 7 States [AZ, CA²¹, ID, NV², PA, TX, UT] as well as an international hit in Yverdon, Switzerland. I now have hits in 29 States in 2012 with none new this week. This is the first week this year where I didn't get a new State for the year. Additionally I now have hits in 395 counties with 2 new this week: Bonneville ID and Randall TX.

Of those 29 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 2 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (26) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 144 Days 1 Hour 7 Minutes after I originally entered it. This bill is now my 2nd longest active bill. Interestingly, I also got hits on bills that are now my 4th and 10th longest active: 3 Years 34 Days 19 Hours 31 Minutes and 2 Years 355 Days 20 Minutes.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday

The 81 day hit streak that I had entering the week obviously ended on Sunday. A new streak was born on Monday, and I'm at 6 days now at the end of the week. I have 102 hits so far in March, and I'm on track to break my record for hits in a month. I just need to get 25 hits in the final week to set a new record. I've surpassed or equaled that amount in 11 out of 12 weeks. In the other week, I got 24 hits which would tie the record.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was a good week for bill entries which means next week's entries numbers may be a bit light. Even with the hitless day on Sunday, my bills with hits and total hits numbers were still quite good:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	P	P/W	PtD	WvP	DvP
Bills Entered	16720	17771	17914	143	1194	21720	95.6	17868	+47	+46
Bills with Hits	2430	2686	2712	26	282	3445	19.4	2663	+7	+49
Total Hits	2799	3111	3140	29	341	4030	23.5	3082	+5	+58

Based on the goal of 5000 bill entries, here's how I'm doing towards my bill entry goals. Starting off with my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 86.29% so the goal is 87.29%), my percentage is now 86.65% [+0.36%]. I entered enough ones out of the lot to add a couple bills to my positive buffer:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	G	GfW	GtD	WvG	DvG
$1s Entered	14427	15391	15523	132	1096	18959	129.6	15509	+2	+14

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, yet another good week. My 2009 entries have now surpassed 2000:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ			WΔ	YΔ	WvG	DvG
2003A	3603	3665	3677	12	74		Goal	65	541	+10	+72
2009	1339	1939	2026	87	687		Actual	75	613

And for my goal of decreasing San Francisco "L" FRB entries below 50.0% while increasing Boston "A", Cleveland "D", St Louis "H", Philadelphia "C", Minneapolis "I", and Kansas City "J", things are pretty much the same as last week. I see need to find some 2009 "I" bills, and everything else is going well and on track:

	SoY	SoY%	SoW	SoW%	EoW	EoW%	Goal		GtD	DvG
San Francisco "L"	8532	51.03%	8959	50.41%	9011	50.30%	< 50.0%	49.94%	9085	+74
Boston "A"	461	2.76%	508	2.86%	518	2.89%	> 2.8%	2.85%	499	+19
Cleveland "D"	395	2.36%	524	2.95%	538	3.00%	> 2.4%	2.45%	428	+110
St. Louis "H"	382	2.28%	427	2.40%	436	2.43%	> 2.3%	2.35%	413	+23
Philadelphia "C"	376	2.25%	400	2.25%	411	2.29%	> 2.2%	2.25%	403	+8
Minneapolis "I"	352	2.11%	363	2.04%	363	2.03%	> 2.1%	2.15%	379	-16
Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	329	1.85%	335	1.87%	> 1.7%	1.75%	312	+23

My comments last week about slowing down the pace at which I insert my acquired bills. After I did the math, it appears I actually need to increase the pace if I want to get 200 inserted for each of the bottom six. I don't actually need to insert 200 for each to meet my goals, so I need to reconsider if that's what I really want to accomplish. The current insertion rate results in me passing a lot of new bills which results in a lot of bills in my wallet sticking together.
