Thank You oleg for your answer on "trigger 3rd tue of month".
Do you have an algorithm to perform a task every other week
reguardless of which day IE: week 1,3,5,7,9,etc. without checking the week# 52 times.
trigger every other week
trigger every other week
There is WeekOfTheYear system variable
You can calculate whether WeekOfTheYear is odd or even.
Use Evaluate action (in Basic group) for this purpose with the following expression
{WeekOfTheYear({Date})} mod 2
if expression is 0 then the week # is even, otherwise - odd.
algorithm will be such:
evalate {WeekOfTheYear({Date})} mod 2 // and save to Num variable
if {NUM}>0 then
...
do something
...
end if

Thanks again Oleg,
I founf the evalate and the {WeekOfTheYear({Date})} but i could not find any wat to check for even/odd.
where can i get a list of modifiers like the "mod 2" used here?

You should install additional Basic plugin.
Download here.
You can find the full help of built-in Basic. Press F1 in action editor (for Evaluate and Basic Script actions)
See the example below:
