This. And I deserve it. I flew here from Quebec City (where Katie and I live most of the year now) early this morning; the flight is only about an hour, which is good because I had the coveted privilege of sitting right next to an engine (thank you, United). Been sitting on my Dad's hand-me-down 40some-years-old riding mower since 11 this morning. Technically, maples aren't supposed to shed their colorful foliage until November here on Staten Island, but the winds have conspired with the trees to make my weekend miserable. When I got back, I went straight to the cave, sat down, lit a cigarillo, and cracked open a soft drink. Can't mix alcohol with a med I'm taking. Canada Dry ginger ale is the closest I can get. Oh well, I guess it's better than boozeless beer.

The bench is in perfect condition but this model was built with a design flaw. The back pad wasn't in the same plane as the seat pad.
It was 5/8" low where it rests on the frame and the seat pad is 5/8" lower than the back pad.
It was seriously uncomfortable in the flat position. This was about the only issue stated in the Amazon reviews.
I leveled the back pad last night. Simple fix. 1 cut to the right board, wood glue, rest 85lbs of plates on it for an hour and drive 4 screws.
I'll be raising the seat pad today. 4 bolts. No biggie.
