My Where's George Week in Review: 05/13/12 - 05/19/12

Hover over this explanation for more detailsThe nerd that I am, I chose to post once a week a summary of my previous week's Where's George activity in comparision to my goals for the year.

In order to make the charts fit, I had to abreviate the column headers. Each header is now hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I received 38 hits in 10 States [AZ², CA²⁶, HI, ID, IN, MN, OR, PA, TX³, WA]. I still have hits in 34 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 420 counties with 5 new this week: Del Norte CA, Marion IN, Lancaster PA, Angelina TX, Upshur TX. The hit in Del Norte CA is my first new CA county of the year (and in a long time).

Of those 38 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 5 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (32) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 49 Days 0 Hours 2 Minutes after I originally entered it. This bill is now #5 on my all-time longest active list.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday

My hit streak continued through this week although Thursday was a bit of a concern. It is now at 46 days: 8 to go to tie my 4th longest streak.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, I was a little behind on bill entries, but that's ok since I'm so far ahead of my goal for the year. Hit and bills with hits again were above needed:

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 86.93% [+0.64%]. I was a little ahead of this goal this week, however, the next couple weeks may be rough on this one, and I wouldn't be surprised if it falls into the red:

$1s Entered	14427	16403	16482	79	2055	18959	75.2	16458	+4	+24

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, I'm still well ahead and closing in on having 2009 being only 1000 entries behind 2003A:

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", I'm pretty much where I was last week. I've entered my first inserted "I" bill and expect to start to decrease the deficit for Minneapolis bills this upcoming week:

This week was my third best week ever for hits. Since last week was my second best, May is off to a really hot start: already breaking 100 hits (104) in just 19 days. I just need 36 hits in the final 12 days to set a new record for most hits in a month.
