Weird woodworking dream

This is probably a sign of woodworking withdrawal; looking forward to finishing my Dissertation and getting to build interesting and useful things out of wood.

During R.E.M. sleep last night, I dreamed I was ripping [cutting it the long way] a 4-foot length of 2" x 8"board with a wooden-handled rip saw. Probably took a good five minutes of just dreaming about the sawing.

Woke up with only 4" to go to complete the cut. Gar!!!

For some reason, in the dream I thought that drizzling olive oil over the saw blade would help the saw move more freely in the cut. (In real life, you'd use hard wax, like rubbing a candle on the saw blade.) At the time, I was thinking that olive oil was more Galoot-y than canola oil. (Don't knowwhy.)
