Always happens doesn't it!!

As soon as you post for help you find the answer.

If you have a better way then I'd love to still hear it but this is what I
found:

begin_date =3D Date.new(2006, 1, 1)
end_date =3D Date.new(2006, 5, 1)

begin_date.step(end_date, 1) { |myDate|
  # Do something with myDate
  puts myDate.to_s
}

Gives me the incremental date (recognising month ends) all the way to the
end.

Thanks everyone.
