Yeah, I wish I knew. I felt bad for bringing it up without knowing the answer.

I like this idea.

As far as time, I hate to even say it, but it sounds like starting at 4AM might be best. But that is silly, so I say just do it early in the day, and then look at your A-A results to see how much change happened during the day. Your mileage will tend to improve as axles, bearings, and transmission warm up, too, so you needed to look closely at those two different A results anyway.
