That sounds like a six-day calendar I figured out a number of years ago.
Mine must have had mistakes in it, because every four years I would drop
a day(in February, of course), but no changes other than five-week months.
I never did check this closely, just a back-of-the-envelope puzzle.

     BTW, I have had a calendar(like the one that comes out of the VAX 'cal'
command) hanging on the wall by my desk.  It has six-day weeks and no Day-13
for those who are superstitious about that day.  I put it up without saying
anything, and it was a number of months before anyone noticed it.

     I had a quite difficult time keeping from laughing when the guy next to
me tried making an appointment by my calendar.
