Did we get any more?

I know that 2007 was a very low year but i'm just curious at to what 2006 and 2010 had since those are our effective targets. What was the 2007 total?

If the pace picks up a little in the second half of the year it may be possible to squeeze out a triple digit year.

Update from SpaceWeather is that we have 42 spotless days so far with a single A class sunspot right now. 

Hard to see us reaching 2007 (over 150 days) but we should comfortably beat 2006 and 2010.
