sorting it out to length into bundles, tedious work, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Heck naw, last time I got the motivation to sort out sinew was when I was sitting through a rubbling appendix that the doctors refused to take out for some reason (cough cough, no insurance, cough), sitting there in a heap of pain waiting for my appendix to burst so I can I emergency surgery. That I should of had already... Didn't eat for over a week. I like to just sit in front of the tv and get 3 piles going, big, medium, and small.

I seen that too. Blew my mind, didn't even realize it was sinew at first.

 I actually sometimes enjoy that kind of mindless work. Its nice to have that kind of thing to keep my mind occupied through the week when my GF decides to watch something on TV that I'm not necessarily interested in. Sometimes its nice to just turn off your brain and apply it completely to something simple and repetitive.

Look at all that fluffy goodness :D  Too bad most of the back sinew gets snipped into t-bone thick lengths. :'(

Kennan I was thinking somewhat the same thing. Do you think there is maybe a bit of  visual Freudian slipage so to speak. Lol.   Danny

Bubby, I'm not trying to hijack your post, sorry.


Keenan, I asked the doctor if I could have the sections they cut out.  I was going to dry them and hang them in my office.  He told me no.  I argued that if I walked in with them, I should be able to walk out.  My wife was so embarrassed  :-[
