My Where's George Week in Review: 08/05/12 - 08/11/12

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 26 hits in 4 States [AZ, CA²⁰, NV⁴, TX]. I still have hits in 41 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 447 counties with 2 new this week: Inyo CA, Howard TX.

Of those 26 hits, 4 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (22) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 351 Days 1 Hour 42 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now my second longest active.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
05	06	07	08	09	10	11
3	4	4	2	4	2	7

Another seven days of hits extends the hit streak to 49 days: my fifth longest hit streak. Five more days and this streak will tie for my fourth longest.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, I continue to add more to my lead in all categories:

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 87.14% [+0.85%]. I'm now back ahead for the pace needed if I end up with just 5000 entries this year.

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, 2009 now trails by just 130 entries and could take the lead in less than two weeks:

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", all are still way ahead. I'm approaching the end of bill insertions, and it'll be interesting to see how things change once I get past that point:

It was a below average week for hits, and if it wasn't for the 7 hits on Saturday, this week could have potentially been the worst for the year. Hopefully the momentum from Saturday carries over to the coming week.
