My Where's George Week in Review: 04/08/12 - 04/14/12

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 45 hits in 9 States [AL, AZ, CA³⁴, HI², LA, MN, OR³, TX, UT]. I now have hits in 31 States in 2012 with 2 added this week: AL and MN. Additionally I now have hits in 401 counties with 2 new this week: Lee AL and Lafayette LA.

Of those 45 hits, 8 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (37) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 208 Days 21 Hours 52 Minutes after I originally entered it.

45 hits in a week is the new record for most hits in a week breaking the old record by 11 hits. Hopefully this isn't a sign that next week will be light on hits. My current hit streak is now at 11 days.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was another solid week all around, and I am now over a week's worth of entries ahead of pace (I'm about 4 weeks ahead on bills with hits and total hits, and yet, somehow that feels less impressive):

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 86.79% [+0.50%], so I'm halfway there:

$1s Entered	14427	15743	15867	124	1440	18959	116.9	15843	+7	+24

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, it was yet another really strong week. I should enter my 1000th 2009 bill of the year in the next 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", nothing really new to say (again):

This week's 45 hits was not only the most for any week this year, but the most I've received all-time (previous best was 39 - based on Sunday-Saturday weeks). This has placed April in the hunt to break my record for most hits in a month (129 - last month) if I get 53 hits in the remaining 16 days (~3.1 hits/day). That feels like it should be a given, but often times when things feel that way, the harsh reality of a slump hits me in the face.
