Krypt plugged back in.
Baro, trh, soil IC.  Note Assman check first was hung on xarm over elec/batt box area; readings higher than trh, maybe a bit of sun on thermom. shafts.  Last 5 readings i held it by hand toward horizon and shaded the shafts; readings 
consistent.  IMHO, hanging of assman isn't best approach and causes slight offsets.
