"Reckoning from 26 Dec 1931AD. Tiffany Thayer adopted a calender of 13 months of 28 days each. The 13th month, between August and September, was called Fort.
-FT129:43"

So, it's the year 70?

Urm, by my reckoning that calander loses 1.25 days a year... meaning that by this time we're 87.5 days out... ~Hmm...

Yeah, it's 364 days. Perhaps 'Fort' should have 29 and get the leap day too. It should also be in-between July and August to cover the day of his birth, 6th Aug. 1874.
Would that make it the year 128 AF?

Yep, the calender should begin with that day too.
