I'm sure we've all had em so spill the beans.
Add today to my blonde moments.
Soz I pullz out the lawnmower to fire it up for the 1st mowing, but first gotta clean it up a bit, put some new oil and fresh gas in. No problem. Bought a new blade and I put that on. Fire it up and mow tha back yard.
Once finished I survey my work and say "done like dinner" Being to lazy to rake 1st I just mow over what ever is on the grass, twigs and tree branches, couple toys that got thrown in from the neighbours yard, dog shit, etc.....
I'm thinking I'll take a boo at the new blade since it musta taken some abuse from all that stuff I mulched up. I'm like WTF the cutting edge of the blade looks brand new, not even a nik; but the other edge is all niked to hell. A few more minutes of deductive reasoning concludes me to believe that yes, I put the god damn blade on backwards!!.
After I realised I pulled a Homer, I switch it around, and 2 things I gotta tellz ya. The mower cut just as good IMHO with the blade being on backward, and in a f-ed up way the blade is still brand new since it was cutting on the wrong edge.
