The missing bolt was in the box. The bag with all the hardware was sealed, but the bolt was rolling around inside the box. Weird. But fully functional now.

Sitting in the the chair would be much more uncomfortable for me if it WERE lego.

That, and what happens when you try to lean back. Lego chair probably isn't a great idea

Hitting a wall.

Weekend was fun though. Tailgating at a hockey game Friday night. 3+hrs of tailgating before heading in. Home team won 3-0.
Ended up going back to the same stadium on Saturday for a college Basketball game. The home team was aweful, and did not win.

I am strongly considering changing banks. Is anyone REALLY happy with the way their bank handles online bill payments? I'm seeing a LOT of recommendations for Ally bank, which used to be named GMAC. It's an online only bank, and offers better interest rates on checking and savings accounts, with fewer fees. But it doesn't solve the issue I have, which is no brick and mortar branches in my area. Which makes deposits tougher (though not impossible.) I currently get charged for using non-Chase ATM machines, and there are no Chase ATM machines around here. Ally offers fee-free ATM access to some ATMs, and refunds of fees paid. So it would work-around that issue. By far, the most interaction I have with banking is using the online services from my computer, and occasionally (and importantly) from mobile. So I don't want to go to a bank that has a crappy online interface.

Thoughts?

Your options are limited where you are now, if you plan on sticking around for a while I'd probably say check out a credit union, otherwise you're stuck with one of the big banks in the area.

I don't do any online banking, so i can't comment on that.

I'm with Sam, generally a credit union is the answer
