Idling on a cool day? There's a good chance the bottom side of the rad is pretty cool. If the upper radiator hose is hot, the thermostat is opening.
Why not just go for a drive? You can run weeks with just water in there (maybe put in some watter wetter or similar if you are going to run for any reasonable time). I've done that on other projects when I'm checking for leaks and other performance issues and I don't want to waste coolant...
