1st Snow Day of 2012

O'Shea Shenanigans — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:03:05 +0000

We finally got snow this winter. I say finally because I was anxious to try out my new truck’s 4×4 capabilities in the snow. Sadly, the new Ford spent the day in the garage and the Jeep got the green light.

Small church down the street

Where are we going? BEst buy! We needed to purchase Madaghan’s own xbox 360 controller so she can help kill Zombies and other monsters, villians and various space cadets.

The Jeep in BestBuy parking lotMaddie is happy she got her own controller. Even more excited about the Push Pop

When we got home, it was nap time for my girls and I went out and plowed the snow:

Nice Backhoe

So far this Winter has been snow-less and in the 40′s. I will take that every year. Sure plowing on the tractor is fun…once. The first snow fall of 2012 was even on a Saturday! Knock on wood this trend continues the next few months.

Shit New Yorkers Say.

I have alot of readers to my little ‘ol family blog from outside of New York. In fact, (excluding family) most of my readers check in from outside the Empire State.

Even tho the actors in the video seem to be portraying Hipster Douchebags, I still find it hilarious. I thought all ‘ya all would find it funny too. And true.

2011 in review

O'Shea Shenanigans — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 22:41:58 +0000

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 18,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

New Truck!

O'Shea Shenanigans — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:31:57 +0000

I finally went out and made myself a tride and true country boy. I bought one of the standard pieces of equipment every country boy has: A pick up truck!

First Stop? Gas.

It is a 2005 Ford F-150 FX4, 88,000 miles Triton 5.4L V8, all for 14,000. Damn right I got a good deal because that is how chubby rolls.

Ha Ha.. “chubby rolls” that is funny.

The truck bed has a back cover on which I like because it will make trips to Long Island easier. I can put our pillows, luggage, toys, and all sorts of shit in the bed, then cover it in case of rain. The cover easily rolls back for when I am hauling more manly stuff like lumber or a keg.

Now commuting in the winter won’t be so stressful. I won’t have to constantly check The Weather Channel for the days weather praying I can make it back and from work before our hill gets too bad.

Here is the picture of our hill we live on. It is the reason we bought a truck:

Steep slippery icy hell.

Those are my footprints. I took this picture last year on the day my faithful Jetta could not make it up the hill. I was sitting on the hood of the Jetta, aggravated and decided right then and there another 4×4 will be in the family.
