You think it wears evenly or something?
You take it off and balance it before every use?
Do you make sure to hit that rock the same amount with both ends of the blade?
Like I said, a pillow feathers worth of difference doesn't matter.

I maintain my delusions of control over entropy where feasible, and this is a case I deem feasible, so NYAH.

yep. When I was poor & in college I mowed 12 lawns for two summers for extra cash. 2+ yrs. One residential lawnboy mower I bought used.
I eventually got a 2nd blade so I could swap it out on the job.
24 seasons+ of lawn mowing on one mower, sharpened, & balanced using a pencil. I stored the mower for 3yrs in my parents attic & pulled it out when I got a house. Used it for another few yrs until I found one that was self propelled & sold the push behind.

Hitting a rock doesn't change balance because no material is removed - the blade is just dulled or dented. Come on, I'll buy you another coffee, god only knows you need it after yesterday.
?Do you believe in balancing car tires and why?
I should go measure my weedeater strings. Make sure theyre both the exact same length and perfectly wound or it'll never work.
That must be why both strings never run out at the exact same moment, yet somehow it hasn't self-destructed.
That's more than the 2 extra sparks of dust that got ground off one end of the mower blade.
WE USE NOTHING BUT THE BEST AND HEAVIEST CHINESIUM!!!! WE ADMIT NOTHING!!!
Come'on hips, don't be hating on us for hyperfocusing on mower blade balance. We didn't choose the ADD life, it chose us.

If you hit as many rocks as you say you do, you probably have to grind a pretty significant amount off the blade to get it sharp again. More than "2 sparks" worth, anyhow.
You can only expect a man to lay on his back in chicken poop for two sparks in time.

I didn't know he had a lawn in his chicken bathroom. My bad.
Not every seed gets digested. Bathroom lawns happen. Next he's setting them up with putt-putt for when it's raining out.

where the fuck you mowin that you hit that many rocks anyways?
It works good for leveling out the gravel in the driveway.

I always hated customers with gravel driveways.
Snowblower is pretty efficient too - just aim the outshoot toward any low spots.
I have about 600' of that action going on. I only have myself to hate on that.I always hated customers with gravel driveways.
more people need to use asphalt millings. Cheaper than gravel and doesnt tear up in winter. Doesnt grow weeds like gravel eitherI always hated customers with gravel driveways.
