Well technically should be recorded when delivered, with delivered
meaning "constructively delivered" << when you mail them >> You should
NOT be tracking "float". Legally that money isn't yours any more even
though sitting in your bank account until the check clears. The reason
that just WRITING the check (that date) has no meaning is until you send
it, could just change your mind and rip it up. But as many do, I use the
date written even though might not be be immediately picked up by the PO

Federal holiday -- won't get postmarked till Tuesday at the earliest --
the postmark date has legal significance >>
