What does a Dunhill pipe and ladybugs have to do with each other? Nothing really...
I recently restored an old Dunhill that was in really bad shape and posted the results here. Yeah, it was cheap, but I mean it was BAD! Big chunk missing from the front of the bowl and other issues. So I managed to do a halfway decent resto to save it and was pretty pleased with the results. One result I didn't count on was my wife now wanted a Dunhill pipe for herself! I told her she could smoke it anytime she wanted, but nooo, she wanted her own.
Well, thanks to Mike (wyfbane) he worked out an affordable deal with me for an old Dunhill he was looking to sell. Mike is a stand up guy and even sent a couple of tobacco samples for us to try! 12th Man Skittles anyone? Oh yeah, feel the rainbow. Really, not as bad as it sounds. Thanks Mike!
Ok, now about the ladybugs. We live out in the woods, so we are used to putting up with some bugs of all sorts in the warm months, But we are having an infestation of ladybugs (Japanese Lady Beetles) this year like no other I've ever seen! We've been finding them all over the house inside for the last two months. A couple of days ago, I decided to go up into our loft where we have a bed set up for company to check out how many were up there. There seemed to be quite a few on the window sill and on the bedspread, but when I moved the bed, HOLY CRAP! There were hundreds of the dead and near dead bugs on the floor. This is nuts!
Is anyone else having this problem?
