UART Write

[DDA]

All,
Trying to connect a PIC18F processor to FIPY. Fipy and PIC serial being tied together via level logic converter (TXS0108EPWR from Texas Instruments). Fipy receiving data from PIC perfectly, but when I pass the Fipy's date/time data back to PIC, the data is not making sense. Example, sending MM=08,DD=05, YY=19, Hr=14, Min=41 as
uart1.write('0805191441') returns
Received b'008600F6000000170000\r'
or
Received b'00008600F60000001700\r'
or, after hex conversion of same:
uart1.write(b'\x2FFE3F11') returns
Received b'00008600F60000001700\r'
on PIC side.

import machine
import struct
import time
import pycom
from network import WLAN
time.sleep(3) # add sleep to allow for TPS softstart
pycom.heartbeat(True)
uart1 = UART(1, baudrate=9600)
uart1.init(9600,bits=8,parity=None, stop=1)
while True:
    recv=uart1.readall()
    print('Received  %s' %recv)
    snd=hex(0805191441)
    #uart1.write('0805191441')
    uart1.write(b'\x2FFE3F11')
    time.sleep(2)    
         

What am I doing wrong?? Eventually, I would like to pass the MMDDYYHRMIN variable, but at this time even a fixed made up known time is not making sense.
Thanks
