My Where's George Week in Review: 09/02/12 - 09/08/12

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 21 hits in 7 States [CA¹⁴, FL, NC, NE, NV², NY, PA]. I now have hits in 43 States in 2012 with 1 added this week: NE. Additionally I now have hits in 453 counties with 3 new this week: Lincoln NC, Cheyenne NE, Wyoming PA.

Of those 21 hits, 2 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (19) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 278 Days 20 Hours 7 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
02	03	04	05	06	07	08
2	6	0	2	1	8	2

The hit-less day on Tuesday stopped my hit streak at 17 days. New streak is now at 4.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, I'm still way ahead on all count, but it was another weak week for total hits and bills with hits:

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 87.19% [+0.90%]. I've headed a bit backwards on this goal the past couple weeks, but I expect that the next few will be really good for it:

Dynamic GoalProgress towards the goal based on my actual rate of entering bills per day which would result in 6680 entries this year rather than 5000						20425	190.4	18556	-9	+32

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, 2009 is leaving 2003A in the dust:

2009	1339	4013	4131	118	2792		Actual	106	2572

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 maintained or expanded (or in San Francisco's case, decreased) their percentage of my overall bills:

It was a big week for bill entries (as I spent last weekend in Reno) but another poor week for hits. Hopefully the additional entries start showing up as hits in the next few weeks and help my hits get back on track.
