Tire pressure calculation

Tire pressure calculation
I ride a HD Electra Glide Ultra Limited. In the H D owner manual, it is stated the front tire should be at 36 psi and the back tire 40 psi at cold. I live in Texas and am wondering if I should factor the heat in because the pressure will rise some with the heat or should I start out at the recommended pressures 36 / 40 psi,? Facebook friends who ride, if you would also give me your opinion.
Thanks for helping.

"And when should you check the tire pressure? You should check it when the tire is cold. That doesn't mean you need to move to International Falls, Minn., to check your tire pressure. Cold, in this sense, simply means that your tires are at air temperature. You can check tire pressure any time of the day, as long as the tires have been sitting for a few hours or haven't been driven for more than a few miles. In other words, you can drive to the gas station a few blocks away and check the pressure, but don't expect to pull off the highway after driving for an hour and expect to get an accurate reading."

Cold is before riding...
Hot is after riding it for a while...
never seen the ambiance temp averaged in for the pressure reading

Yes this is nonsense, air is 80% nitrogen anyway. "Premium air" anyone?
