[Shotimes] normal operating water temps

[ianf@eden.rutgers.edu]

I had meant that my stock gauge varies somewhat day to day...I think 
that my Autometer is pretty consistent..reliable, sure..accurate? No 
idea..it correlates with other autometers I've seen in other SHO's, so 
I don't think that I have a cooling/heating problem...I just think that 
the stock gauge is worthless...
