Tim, thanks for pulling back to covers to explain.
I actually do use the calendar. It hangs in my office next to Long Haul Paul's charity calendar. I use one for work stuff and the other for planned rides and events. I'll order a replacement calendar. Do we use the same links?

I appreciate all the efforts Tim and Wayne have put into the calendar itself and trying to resolve this issue. Harsh reality is that every one of us on this forum screws up sometimes. At this point I consider it a learning experience and will be ordering another calendar to replace this one.
I actually do use mine for at work. All of my coworkers hear me talk about you folks and the things we all do for each other. I talk about tech days, SEO and EOM. The calendar allows me to show them your bikes and places you've visited. I have every one of my old calendars saved. The day will come when I may no longer be able to ride but these pictures and the memories they stir in me will be with me forever.
What he^ said.

I already have your address, dear sir. And the last thing I'll have is you being able to say, 'they can't even print a simple calendar, had to print it myself..."

I’m good with printing my own updated calendar pages. Can you post those files? I don’t need replacements either.

I haven't seen mine yet either. I guess I'll have to figure out how to contact them.

Lulu blamed the cropping off the logo on the author. I called BS on it and pushed back pretty aggressively just because her response pissed me off. She sent me a screenshot of the artwork with the tolerance for cutting and the logo is inside that tolerance, so they won't do anything about it.
I explained that anyone that trims artwork to cut the logo off and looks at it and says "that's perfect" shouldn't be working in a printing company.
I have printers. I print stuff all the time. I'd never ever cut someone's logo off and think that's okay.
My lesson for the day. Lulu sucks.

I’m just going to order another. Cheap and easy way to support the site and the HMFIC.

Richelle found 2025 calendar templates online and printed them. She managed to get them the correct size so with just a little trimming we can clue or tape them over top of the 2024 calendar. Easy farkle. It was calendarlabs.com

Got mine today. As others have stated, the logo is clipped a little, but honestly, I don’t care. It’s the pics and names that I care about. It’s great to see the places all of you have been. Specially I love to say, “I have been there” or “I’ve gotta go there”.
I use my calendar right behind my desk and write all the events on it along with school holidays so I know what lines up. I also note the distance in miles to the location so if a last minute kitchen pass is granted, I can quickly ascertain my options.
Thanks for time, effort, talent, production, and commitment to all of you in that made submissions and created the product.

That’s a good question, I will take a look at this today.

Yep, it’s got 2024 dates on it. I might have to just pull a Lumberg and reorder a corrected one. Just make it easy on everyone!

Replacement calendar ordered. Will look into Art's suggestion and print new calendar pages so I'll have 2 useable calendars.

Same link as before
The link that was pinned at the top of the forums is gone. I haven't been able to find it.

I hid the thread and announcement to give Tim and I a fews days to look at options. I will have answers to one option tomorrow when my graphics guy returns to work (freakin vacation policy - always getting in the way of important non-work projects I need answers for...).

bump.
Returning this to view. The Standard Grid formated 2025 calendar price has been updated to $12.06 each - for anyone who'd like to order a correctly dated version.
Also - I will be doing a small run of calendars at work; will have my hands on a sample Wednesday afternoon. That will be a zero cost option for replacement for those who have the patience. More to follow...
