Why do it if it's not fun?

Nope. Sorry.

But can't help wonderying why you'd want one. The only time I'm ever interested in density altitude is to read some performance figures off a graph. And all the graphs I've ever seen don't actually take density altitude as an input, they take pressure altitude and temperature. So I've never needed to actually know the density altitude, either by calculating it exactly or by rule of thumb.
