The weekend and week so far/Lazy Bear

Early shot at "The Estate" party Sunday


A nice addition to "The Estate Party"

1. Well. Just as I thought. I packed enough for a week, and ended up wearing the same pair of shorts for 2 days. Same bathing suit. And only two tank tops. LOL

2. Up fairly early on Saturday (I slept lousy Friday night), I managed to post our required ads for work, open up the office and meet the temp for weekend instructions

3. Off to CVS to get some OFF tick and flea spray, which I didn't need. I slept on the leather sofa, in my sleeping bag. For sure lasts years bug event spawned from the creases of the air mattress.

4. Then off to Daly City to pick up friend Carlos, and for a drive, with a bit bumper to bumper traffic in Petaluma, to the River. Jim was also a bit ahead of us, to meet us there later. Mark had texted us to stop at Safeway to pick up some more Flank Steaks for that night's dinner, so with that stop, we finally made it to the house about 1 pm.

5. On the way up, Mark had notified us that some DRAMA had unfolded between R3 and Harry Lit, the founder of Lazy Bear. Something to do about liquor sales, distribution of profits etc. In other words R3 idea of what was to be done was different to what the Triple R used to do.

6. So, Saturday's day party was moved to "The Estate" from the R3. A few hrs later, we find out all is fine with R3 and the organizers...oh well. Too late.

7. The weather Saturday sucked. Overcast. I think the sun finally came out at about 5 pm. But we still managed to enjoy the party. It was not crowded by no means. In fact many told me it was not the usual numbers of people for a Friday night, nor even for a Saturday day. There were still vacancies at the local resorts.

8. After enjoying a few hrs of filtered sun, we were back at the house for some cheer and good food. Jim left a few hrs later. Poor guy had to work Sunday morning. We just chilled a bit, then later it was off to the Rainbow to see who was in town.

9. At this point in the evening, the town was getting busy. The bar packed. After having the infamous Long Island Ice Teas, Ho, Mark Carlos, Cody and I ventured over to the SWEAT dance, at the River Theater. It was packed! Cody, and the other Bear Chest Calendar men were some of the go go dancers. Music was great. The banner/flag dancers awesome (I'm so glad this has come back). And the men! All I can say, is you look at one hot one, and a second later there's another. Ho was so taken by one muscle bear, he walked up and asked if he could let him lick the sweat off him. He did! LOL

10. We stayed till almost closing, then it was back to the house to snack on food, and chill. We all ended up watching TV until about 5 am! It was fun. All of us sprawled upon each other, chatting, joking, and snoring.

11. We all got up late Sunday morning. Fonz made us breakfast, and then it was off to the official Estate Party. Unlike the event on Saturday, it was pretty crowded. And the sun was out! It was a beautiful day!

12. Tom and Lee drove up for the day to meet us. Had our few beers, grilled burgers. Ran into so many familiar faces, friends, and acquaintances.

13. Ho, Tom, Lee, Carlos and I later ended up in town for Pizza and a salad. Then time to head back home. Home fairly early, I was in bed and asleep by 10:30 pm. Woke up exhausted! What a long work day! Not a good day to work on financials! :(

14. Next year I think I'll take Monday or a Friday off. The only difference this time, is that I did not have time to participate in all the daytime events. But all in all, I had a nice time. House hosts Patrick and Jake were stellar as always. And spending good times with good friends makes good memories.

A very cute bartender at the Estate (he lives in Hawaii).

Friend Carlos (l) was drooling over this man (far right) all day. I'd swear he was stalking him! LOL

I think I was stalking this one for a bit. But Mama got to snag him. This Oso is from Spain.


I'm moving to Spain! LOL
