Anybody have experience with IR gun style thermometers ?

I use several all the time at work. The cheaper ones won't be accurate at distance and the "better" ones will be more accurate and have the ability to do fun things like take water temps through pipes. MEasurement range will also be limited with the cheaper units.

I use this for motor temps.

And this for everything else.

We got a pair of ~500W heat lamps for the pooches when it gets cold out; keeps the patio mighty nice even when the temps drop to the upper 20's, but I agree that is a messed up situation

If it happens again at least pressure them to put a shock collar on the dog

Seriously? do they breed pussy dogs in Texas? We used to have a couple outdoor dogs and they had no problem at -30F

Never said it was necessary now did I? :P

My shepard/lab mix (we think) wouldnt stand for it last year either. Hopefully a year with a good friend of ours changed her mind.

It'll never have a manual and while I hate the weight, you can't complain about a 12 second sedan that gets 30mpg.

While I am a huge Ford fan, any engine produced now-a-days should be able to perform just the same.

True and true. Now if they would shoehorn that engine into the Focus along with the AWD.

Only in EU and AUS. They will only get the 2.0 Ecoboost though. We get the shaft and no AWD.

Yup, hence my wishful statement. Only Ken Block gets the awesome Focus here in the USA.

Hot dang, a bit rich for my blood :lol:

I'll keep scavenging ebay auctions for some good deals. Already found a german made thermometer, fingers crossed it won't go for very much:)

A crazy lab teacher had a project like that in the works and part of my class was asked if we want to take part and write software for it. Didn't hear back from him for 2 years now.
