   The Infrared Gun is stored at room temperature and it has thermal inertial.   
   Repeated measurements are taken until a stable reading is obtained. I start   
   with the ground reading . The ground readings are taken beneath the light of   
   my building so they are contaminated by the Urban Heat Island Effect. It   
   might be better to do this exercise on rock not contaminated by UHIE and   
   using a light on my head.
