ya, i've been doing some experimenting here and so far, i've found that the sock idea, just isn't gonna work. it'll only go up to 94 degree, whereas if i crotch it, i get a solid 96 degrees with the 98 degree mark showing slightly.

i just hope this stuff works. it's a michigan DoT(department of transportation) physical, so i'm not sure what kind of test it is going to be.

regardless, thanks for the advice. much appreciated and keep on tokin'
