Reason I ask is, I dont think I have ever seen a real alder, and it being such an allusively dangerous west coast hardwood, I naturally want to get acquainted with it LOL.

Nice pics btw/
Here are some Red Alder pics. Yes it is brittle.

Fresh cut and within a few hours.

Nice coordinated clothing choices.
Thanks for the fashion compliment miss Patty, being from the north side of Mount Rainier figured there may be subtle differances from the south siders. A little out of style for Enumclaw as I was wearing the high class hemmed short sleave hickory as compared to the cut off sleave guess just trying to make a fall fashion statement.

Yes, I realize that being farther north, your days are shorter and that could make you prone to SAD and thereby a little bit behind in the fashion trends.
You did well, despite the handicap of global location. Might I suggest some bright colors to combat the dreary days we are now experiencing? A little bit more of orange (much as I do not care for it) might offset the gloom and bring out the highlights of the saw. Perhaps some matching rhinestones on the suspenders? Are they an X or a Y style? Which is the preference for you North of The Mountain People?

Had a Stihl moment

Pulled the 372 out of the truck gassed and oiled it pulled out the choke pulled it several times not even an inkeling of a pop. Pushed the choke in pulled several more times and rememberd husky's have two switchs,flipped the other switch. Really liken the 066 with the 32" think Im gonna put a 24 or 28 on the 372 its ported and all but just doesnt have the bottom end grunt like the 66. Still a Stihl guy the 66 just feels more natural in my hands even at 5 additionl pounds over the 372. Guess I just have that Stihl feel immbeded in my muscles and brain.
