I'm sure anyone reading this will have experienced a wacky dream which leaves you wondering where on earth in the dark recesses of your mind it could possibly have come from. I should explain that I NEVER remember dreams unless they're really 'out there'.

............. so there I was, busy working in the shop. For some reason, next to my bench was a huge flightcase (the kind of thing touring rock bands use to transport equipment) - with three (maybe four?) Festool plunge saws sitting on this flightcase in a neat line - just like a photo [member=58857]Crazyraceguy[/member] once posted when he acquired his TS60. I instantly knew that he'd come to visit me and this was his calling card  [blink]

He was nowhere to be seen though, so I started looking around for him. There was a door in my shop (which isn't actually there in reality), so I walked through it - and out into CRG's place of work (I've withheld his real name and his company name for his privacy). It was like going through a portal into another world [big grin] and it looked exactly the same as all of the photos he posts, with part-built stuff all jacked up on those little wooden box trestle gadgets. It took me awhile to find him, because no-one in the company would tell me where he was. But I eventually located him, and weirdly, he knew who I was and he recognised me straightaway. How? Anyway - I must have woken up at that point.

I'd like to close this post, however, by describing CRG in WBB-dream-world for the benefit all all FOG'ers.

He's Supermario. But taller, and with brown hair instead of black. His head's totally bald and dome-shaped with the brown hair sitting in big bushy bits around his ears. He has an epic mustache which is also brown - it actually looks like he's part-way through eating a cat. He wears a blue & white checked lumberjack shirt and he smiles a lot.   

After many PM chats - it's good to have met you in person, buddy. Let me know when you dream about me ... [big grin] [big grin] [big grin] [big grin] [big grin]
 
“He has an epic mustache which is also brown - it actually looks like he's part-way through eating a cat.”

Funniest analogy (?) I’ve read in a long time.
 
Well that is absolutely hilarious!  [big grin]
Some description correct. Tall, (6' 2") and I do wear a blue/black/white flannel (lumberjack) shirt, but mostly as a jacket. I ditch it quickly at work, it's warm in there, even in winter.
Some totally wrong, not even close to bald. Way too old to still have the brown hair I was born with, and it couldn't be called short by anyone. White/gray, same as the mustache/goatee, longer than most. Finding me at work shouldn't be hard. Most of the time I'm right there behind that wall of clamps and FS rails or at the beam saw.....literally the diagonal opposite end of the shop. (200' x 250' is quite a lot of space)

I'm not even touching the cat thing.... [eek]

I also rarely remember dreams and strangely enough, if I don't tell someone (or write it down) I'll forget those too, almost immediately. My mind protects me from me.  [huh]
[member=75780]woodbutcherbower[/member]  maybe you were seeing reality, from a few days ago. I had them all out at once, explaining the differences to one of our installers.
 
I occasionally experience dreams such as you describe, and I generally attribute them to the residual effects from the early-1970s of small pieces of blotter paper with odd round stains right in the center...

LOL:

Wasn't expecting this comment or multiple likes for it from this crowd....

                          But me too
 
Well that took quite a turn.... [blink]

I bet some of the younger generations don't even know what that means

Yes, I thought acknowledgment of what was referenced would be aging ourselves.
 
Not me. Never. When we’re young and stupid, we often do stuff which isn’t the best. I’m quite sad that a humorous and well-meaning post should have gone down a rabbit hole like this -but hey, we’re all different. I just can’t imagine that Timothy Leary made stuff as good as either mine or CRG’s.

Best wishes, and no offence intended.

And even if he did...most of the time he was probably not in any condition to realize what he wrought.  [big grin]
 
While I certainly can't claim to have not done young and dumb stuff, that is not one of them.  [eek]
