Gosh, you had a contact thermometer available? I'm impressed.

IR Thermometer. Every cyclist should have one.

I'll admit that I'm dying to get one, but I really can't figure out
what I'd use it for. I guess it would be cool to have one when someone
asks if they have a temperature. Instead of the old tried and true
hand to the forehead, you can just zap them right between the eyes -
non-laser version probably better for this application.
