This will be from  the last two weeks...
*I'm actually done with voting today, as I've hit my recharge level*

I have voted for myself for 26% of the time; out of 255 votes total, that means about 66 votes.  Over two weeks that averages out at 4.7 times a day, which is *more* than than I average posting a day (2.5 according to steemsupply).

It means I am averaging voting about 18 times a day.

I have to assume that this is *voting weight* we are talking about; I sure hope so b/c I'd rather not be the guy that only votes for himself LOL.

I brainstormed some voting possibilities in [Put in a request for a MinnowBooster Lease - Voting Strategies and Other Wild Fantasies](https://steemit.com/steemit/@stevescoins/put-in-a-request-for-a-minnowbooster-lease-voting-strategies-and-other-wild-fantasies):
+ Voting for myself 4 times a day @100% leaves me with 92% Voting Power
+ Curating down from 92% to the recharge level (@ 5% VP/vote) *SHOULD* be dropping me down by .08 VP/vote, which theoretically means about 150 votes a day to spit out...but I did note I saw some cumulative drop in VP.
+ And I am in reality, curating in 3%/4% doses...
+ Steemreports may be reporting votes in 100% VP increments, which makes more sense to me
+ Math makes my head hurt; once upon a time I was good at it, too /smh
+ I also have to note I will accidentally drop a 100% vote here and there; I do not like Steemit settings which remember the last vote when I am in "auto" mode, but on the other hand it *is up to me to verify the voting level BEFORE I click it*...derpy derpy hopenchange derp. 

I only snagged temporary dolphin status a week ago, so g!d knows how I was curating in the week prior to that.  I also should mention that the bulk of my curating is upvoting people I engage in conversations with, and upvoting commenters on my posts.  I need to spend some more time curating OUTSIDE my normal range, as well.  There are 3 Steemers I tend to make regular stops on the reading route; @richq11, @everittdmickey, and @dwinblood.  I have good convos with them, so it makes sense that I spend more votes on them in my current pattern.  I also tend to upvote @dragon40's work.

I tend to stay within topics associated with Information War, and I expect that pattern to continue.

I signed up for @frontrunner, but I don't think my Voting Power has hit the minimum value for that to kick in yet.

And I will keep playing with voting bots and such; I'll post more on that in the future.  It's possible I never sit still in any voting strategy or pattern.

# Thanks for reading!
