I hope to use this every month now as I have cut consumption by 1/3-1/2.

Up 4 for the month. Would easily have been down 6 if I had not cut consumption.

August: 11 out, 12 in - net 1 increase. Still down 2 for the quarter, need to hold on to that. Took a nibble at Tidings today, so the month is off to a challenging start.

August, 12 in, 15 out. Small net minus 3, but I’ll take it.

For August:

In = 0
Out = 4

Net minus 4

Problem: September will be terrible, just got back from Italy and cases are inbound.

Just came to acknowledge that I have accepted a failing grade for both the spring semester and summer session. Moreover, that I dropped out just weeks into the fall semester.

net minus one for the month, so less than a modicum of progress

YTD purchases down 11.3% from 2024 and 29.9% from 2023
YTD consumption up 35.5% from 2024 and 43.5% from 2023

those trends I want to keep going

Best month in a while with - 27 as the result, mostly due to selling of some bottles. October will be even better :blush:

Got home pissed off and opened an unplanned bottle. Made it to parity after all. 8 in/8 out

-5 for September! Yes, that is a negative sign! Thank you, Robert Panzer, for not sending today’s offer out until October 1.

+84 YTD so still a lot of work to do. Parity for the year appears impossible, but I’d like to shrink that number further and then go negative for 2026.

From CT inventory, 1 consumed, 1 missing. An unentered recent gift consumed as well. Zero purchases.

Such a ballah.
