I’ve come up with a new schema for ranking the days. The variables are:

Views, weather, ease of route, route finding, amount of road walking, cow activity, any company I have, my physical state, my mental state, and the quality of food.

Each is ranked from 1 (terrible – eg rampant bovines and painful knees) to 5 (fantastic). Company will always score a 5, and no company is a 1.

Days over 45 are Diamond

41 – 44 is Gold

36 – 40 is Silver

31 – 35 is Bronze

26 – 30 is Tin

21 – 25 is Cotton

Below is Lead. Not too many  of those,  but without them, I wouldn’t appreciate the good days so much.
