My Where's George Week in Review: 08/12/12 - 08/18/12

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 17 hits in 5 States [CA¹², CO, NC, NV², OH]. I still have hits in 41 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 447 counties with none new this week.

Of those 17 hits, 2 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (15) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 1 Year 176 Days 19 Hours 16 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
12	13	14	15	16	17	18
3	5	4	2	1	0	2

And the hit streak goes down... 54 days isn't shabby: it's tied for my fourth best hit streak all time. My new streak started on Saturday, and stands tall at one day.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, this was one of the few weeks this year were bills with hits and total hits were below the predicted pace:

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 87.21% [+0.92%]. Once again I am creating a lead towards this goal:

Dynamic GoalProgress towards the goal based on my actual rate of entering bills per day which would result in 6400 entries this year rather than 5000						20181	147.4	18058	+9	+45

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, series 2009 now trails by just 19 and should be in the lead after this week:

2009	1339	3662	3780	118	2441		Actual	111	2245

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", there is still nothing new to report as all are well ahead:

It was a bad week for hits, and after a less than stellar week last week, it's looking like August may be a disappointing month. Here's hoping the final third of the month is a turn around.
