Oh, no. Your suggestions were great. I combined your earlier suggestions 
and came up with this:

logdate = Time.local(@calendar1.year, @calendar1.month + 
1,@calendar1.day).strftime('%Y-%m-%d').to_s

which works the same as what you just mentioned:

logdate = Date.civil(@calendar1.year, @calendar1.month + 1, 
@calendar1.day).to_s



Thanks a ton!
