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/

Nice coordinated clothing choices.

056 Kid, wait and see if we get a big snow. Then come on up and start opening roads. You'll get your fill of alder. I am not looking forward to it.

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.
