Maintenance Day

Recipe for a maintenance day on the Showboat:
Take 4 crew members and make them show up at the Padelford's equivalent to the butt crack of dawn (9:00am).
Add 1 crabby crew chief.
Spend a few hours power washing, scrubbing and drying the massive decks but be sure that when you're finished it doesn't look like you've cleaned at all.
Mix in stacks of chairs that have been left to collect dirt, cobwebs, and dead bugs on the back of the boat (be sure they haven't been moved since the boat was built three years ago.)
Move the chairs off the boat to the dock.
Note: only use two crew members for the following steps, this way it will take far longer.
Load them in a truck and drive them to the other end of the levy.
Unload chairs.
(Repeat the last 3 steps 2 more times.)
Wash all of the chairs thoroughly (don't forget, they must be the most disgustingly dirty chairs you have ever seen).
Rinse. Repeat.
Carry half of the chairs onto the boat and take the remaining chairs to the attic of the storage shed.
Remove old chairs from the boat.

Be sure to do all of these steps in direct sunlight on a 90 degree day without sunblock.

At the end of the day you should have 1 amazing sunburn, 1 new interesting friend, 1 crabbier crew chief, 8 hours worth of pay, multiple scrapes/bruises/dirty shirts, and the feeling of a job well done.
(Success with this recipe may vary on the boat, day, and crew involved.)
GOOD LUCK.
