So, I apparently need a weird size of wood, but I only need about 10' of it. I'm seriously looking into someplace that can send me custom sizes off the internet. Short of buying a table saw, I'm not sure how to procure it.

Quite frankly I think the best bet is to buy a table saw. Its a fine tool to have on hand.
"wood"? As in lumber? Unless you don't plan on parking your car outside, a circular saw is more compact, or some (most?) building supply will give you a free cut. It'd be the transport that I would be troubled by.
Dido on the circular saw. But then you want saw horses...
also inexpensive and storable
Harder to make straight cuts even with a fence attachment. Smaller sure, more or less dangerous (depending on who you ask), and squirrely for long cuts. Better to have the lumber yard size it and pay the fee.
I'm a member of the Minnesota Tool Library and use it all the time for situations where I don't want to buy another tool. Ours costs like $50 a year which is a steal.
Just on a quick search I found https://www.chicagotoollibrary.org/ (I think that is your area-ish)
we have an informal neighbor exchange; I have a telescoping tree saw, across the street are siding tools, to one side is an air compressor...
This is where having a father-in-law with a farm a mile down the road comes in very handy.
I live in a sub-division with a lot of neighbor churn so all our direct neighbors are relatively young (and weirdly skew heavily Minnesotan) and thus have no tools. I've amassed a good inventory and suspect if they ever found out I would rarely be left alone.
10 feet in one section? If smaller pieces are needed I could be your cut man….
tough loss but well deserved.
I love getting to hear Marney go nuts at great plays.
Always nice to see Josh Hader blow a save, this one on the first pitch he threw.
LOL, Altuve takes his shoe off to argue he fouled the ball off himself and gets tossed. Never seen that before.
Looked like the ball may have clipped his foot, but he foreclosed a review with that stunt.
Heh, Shoeless Jose.
LOL
ABMIS still undefeated.
