To those who offered help and advice, thanks. I got the problem solved.
Simple, really. I rotated the blades.

Duh.

I was surprised they got so dull so fast but, then, they're just steel and I
suppose I have put more stock through the planer than I thought.

Suspect I need to have a couple sets of blades on hand. Changing the blades
around was really pretty simple. I had been dreading it but it isn't
difficult at all.

Anyway, the new edges cut like champs and I made about 2/3 bag of
shavings/chips for my DC with it.

I took a piece of rough sawn lumber, probably pine, dunno, about
1x12x24 and ran it through. Didn't look to me like very much came
off. Gave that up for now.

Take a pencil or even a piece of chalk and scribble across the face of
the
board. Plane and then look at the results. That will tell you exactly
where material was removed.
