This probably wouldn't work if you played a half dozen guitars, but when you live with one instrument with which you become familiar for a long time you get to know it this well.

I've known most of my life that ear fatigue is common for lots of folks, especially later in the day, so it's not unusual for it to affect your ability to fine tune your guitar by ear. Some might think you don't have a good ear, but by evening, it's just a tired ear....thank goodness for modern tuner technology.
