JMT Planning 2 - My Great Gear debate

This is likely the HARDEST decision I am making for this trip! I have the excel chart with everything that I think I need/want to take and likely some things I will want to drop off. Everything has its weight in ounces. There are very few things that I am extremely confident on.

Of course I have color coded my chart! J The main things I am pretty set on include: Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, down jacket, water purifier (with backup drops), my purple spork, shit shovel, umbrella, and headlamp. I am planning a more weekend backpacking trips which should help me with my gear list and becoming more confident in what I have and the weight. I have a 3 day weekend every other weekend so I can get some decent trips! If you have any suggestions for where to go please let me know! I am always open to new places (especially if the permit is VERY easy to get or if one is not needed).
