In the past week, I got 21 hits in 7 States [CA14, IL, ND, NV, OK, OR, UT] as well as an international hit in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Of those hits, 1 was the 3rd hit on the bill, 4 were the 2nd hit on the bill, and the rest (16) were the initial hit on the bill. Below is a calendar view of the hits throughout the week:
| Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday |
| 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 |
| 4 | 0 | 4 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 0 |
I came into the week with a 86 day hit streak. When I didn't get a hit on Monday that streak ended at 87 days: good for my 2nd longest streak all-time. Here's a look at my all-time ten longest hit streaks:
| Rank | Start Date | End Date | Days | Rank | Start Date | End Date | Days | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 10/07/2012 | 01/02/2013 | 88 | 6. | 09/26/2011 | 11/18/2011 | 54 | |
| 2. | 02/08/2013 | 05/05/2013 | 87 | 7. | 06/24/2012 | 08/16/2012 | 54 | |
| 3. | 12/28/2011 | 03/17/2012 | 81 | 8. | 04/04/2012 | 05/21/2012 | 48 | |
| 4. | 04/13/2011 | 06/30/2011 | 79 | 9. | 01/04/2013 | 02/06/2013 | 34 | |
| 5. | 07/28/2011 | 09/23/2011 | 58 | 10. | 07/21/2010 | 08/21/2010 | 32 |
By failing to get a hit on Saturday, I'll have to start a streak from scratch next week. With two hitless days this past week, I guess this is payback for the awesome month I had in April. I've now had four hitless days this year which matches my prediction for hitless days for the whole year. Unless I start a killer hit streak, it doesn't look like the prediction is going to pan out.
Of the 7 States in which I received hits this past week, none were the first hit for that State in 2013. Overall I've received hits in 34 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 520. The newly hit counties were Jackson OK and Iron UT. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 246 Days 20 Hours 45 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 110th on my all-time longest active list.
I made predictions regarding bill entries and hits and new bills with hits for 2013. Here's a look at how I'm doing towards those predictions:
| SoYStart of Year | SoWStart of Week | EoWEnd of Week | WΔWeek Change: Number Added this Week | YΔYear Change: Number Added this Year | PPrediction (for Year) | P/WPrediction for Week: A Week's Share of the Total | PtDPrediction to Date: The Portion of the Prediction that should be Completed so Far | WvPWeek versus Prediction: How the Week's Numbers Stack Up Against the P/W | DvPDate versus Prediction: How the Year's Numbers So Far Stack Up Against the PtD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bills Entered | 22920 | 25160 | 25461 | 301 | 2541 | 28920 | 115.1 | 25073 | +186 | +388 |
| Bills with Hits | 3704 | 4136 | 4152 | 16 | 448 | 5074 | 26.3 | 4196 | -10 | -44 |
| Total Hits | 4330 | 4868 | 4889 | 21 | 559 | 6030 | 32.6 | 4940 | -12 | -51 |
For Bills with Hits and Total Hits, I'm pretty much back to where I was at the start of April. Its a shame that two poor weeks can wipe out a solid month. I am, however, far ahead of where I need to be for bills entered. Vacation helped with that, but it seems like I was going to be ahead anyways. Will be interesting to see where this one ends up. Will the extra bills I've entered so far turn into enough hits to get the other two stats into the green?
At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 7080 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 103.5 bills per week for the rest of the year.
Looking at my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 87.64% so the goal is 88.64%), my percentage is now 88.23% [+0.59%].Regarding my goal of increasing my non-San Francisco FRB entries, here's a table of my current progress:
| SoYStart of Year | SoY%Percentage of Overall at Start of Year | SoWStart of Week | SoW%Percentage of Overall at Start of Week | EoWEnd of Week | EoW%Percentage of Overall at End of Week | G%Goal Percentage | GtDGoal to Date: The Numbers Needed to be Entered so Far this Year to be on Track to Meet the Overall Goal | DvGDate versus Goal: How the Year's Numbers So Far Stack Up Against the GtD | #IBNumber of Inserted Bills | |

At this point in the year, if I've entered 36 bills for a particular FRB then I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB.
This week I got my 50th two hit/three State bill which traveled from California -> Missouri -> Illinois.
I was hoping the previous week was just a fluke, but now it doesn't appear that was the case. Funny how when I have a light hit week I like to think it's a fluke, and when I have an above average one, I think it's the new normal. I can't imagine that I'll continue to have multiple hitless days in a week very often, so hopefully things get better next week.
