Got my previous issues sorted.  It appears I put the WAN address on the same IP I was using for a temporary AP I'd set up while messing with my network  :'(
Also, setting up the LAGGs appears to break any automatic NAT outbound rules, so nothing responds properly.  Moving on.....

Got past the first issue with the gateway...set one up manually after changing to static IP.  ;D Next, moved on to setting up LAGGs for my HA.  Lost internet.  Again, video for detail: https://youtu.be/wRVT2yqqz04

So...I was working on setting up an HA setup and failed.  Repeatedly.  Traffic would just stop working...so I slowed down and videoed the whole process and did tests along the way.  I found that after changing the WAN interface assignment, and then just changing it back...as a test...it would start having failures. 
Video posted here, timestamps in the description describe my path to failure: https://youtu.be/LgcPDj2wYhU

I guess first I need to figure out why changing interface assignments is failing before I can proceed with my HA setup.
