Pic of the week game

[Spyder]

I too must vote for Jedz. Just a really nice picture. You could hang that on a wall in your living room, and nobody would question why. But I bet some would ask ABOUT it... Nice shot Jedz...

[Agemax]

Trevor gets my vote. great pic.

[kerrfunk]

I'll go for marvin this week, because West Virginia!

[BigD_83]

It's almost unfair as that TU250x is one of the most photogenic bikes around, and the composition and lighting take it over the top.+1 for Jedz.

honourable mention to marvinsc

[storm 64]

Marvinsc gets my vote! I think I was at that dam in West Virginia. Isn't it up the road from the "Fanciest Dairy Queen?" It was during my first GSR rally, the last West Virginia rally Depep organized. I was on that blue BMW. I was on my way to the Outer Banks. That was fun! 🌞

[steve murdoch]

"Gorillas in the Mist"? nope but "GS in the Mist" is a great pic.
Marvin for the win.

[Baatfam]

I just have to for Jedz123...A really nice photo..

[kerrfunk]

Well my count is:
15 votes total.
baat, 1
spyder, 1
trevor, 2
marvin, 5
jedz, 6

I tallied the votes two separate times and got the same results.
Jedz for his second win, and the second consecutive winning weeks in 2019.

We've had sixteen different winners.

Additional statistics. Out of 33 weeks so far:

25 participants have submitted at least one photo this year. 18 have submitted at least five. 12 have submitted more than 17 photos.

.....

Jedz for his second win, ...................

Hum.... Someone needs to walk into his wedding ceremony and tap him on the shoulder.......

Oh, Hey, Kerry, you could have your clerical vestments and just walk in up front . . . . . .

.....
We've had sixteen different winners.

Thanks for the statistics.
I wonder if you have a spreedsheet, and then you sort, then count yourself.
Or if you have a database and run reports.... or what.

Pondering some other interesting statistics. . . . . . har har har

I will mention it to him but he may not have time for this. Just this once know what I mean?

Maybe when they say," does anyone have reason this union should not etc. Or forever hold your....."

[Redman]

Hey, we can be reasonable. Yah, we could wait till tommorow.

The "does anyone have any reason..." would be good opportunity to bring this up.

[kerrfunk]

Thanks for the statistics.
I wonder if you have a spreedsheet, and then you sort, then count yourself.
Or if you have a database and run reports.... or what.

I have a spreadsheet. I manually enter each week's submissions, and I have a command that counts how many submissions this week.
I manually enter each person's vote, and I have a command that tallies everybody's votes, and another command that checks the tally.
Then I manually enter how many times a person has won.



This morning I added three columns and wrote a command to count how many times a person has submitted a photo, and how many times a person has voted, and I also tallied how many votes each person has gotten (but I didn't share that information with people. Maybe another time.)

Then I just sorted the data so I could report what I thought was interesting.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
My dad has tracked his bicycle miles since 1988 -- he's currently a bit over 49,800 miles, just over two equatorial circumnavigations of the earth.
He knows how many countries each member of our family has been in, and he's got a flag on display for each one. My brother has been to about 80.
He also keeps track of which "heritage engines" (trains) he's spotted (he lives across the street from a busy train line).
So tracking voting like this naturally appeals to me is what I'm saying

[Baatfam]

And having you do previous theme records appeals to me, (since I don't have to do it anymore)

Hum .... a lot of functionality for a spreadsheet. Impressive.

I recall you saying your dad did things like that, and likes going to road numbers that equall his age. And you ride with him, so intersections of his and your age are a target.

[Spyder]

Ya know? I use Excel every day. I know the program quite well. But, never think of using it for anything outside of work. Never even crosses my mind. I was very impressed (a long dam time ago now) with Steve's Valve adjustment sheet. Funny how work seems to stay at work for certain things... I feel confident that I can speak for most of us here, when I say, thanks for staying on top of these statistics Kerry. Great job, you deserve a raise...
