Let us know how this progresses!

Thanks, great tip!
Not worried about the tstat at all. It's doing it's job perfectly
Just wasn't used to seeing that fluctuation and I think it's is due to how my degas/coolant level is acting. I'm running it hard right now, letting it burp up however much coolant it wants to until it settles in where it feels happy. On another note I can see a direct correlation to the coolant level/burping to the coolant temp--ie the closer the coolant level gets to where it wants to be the more stable the temp is--if that makes any sense.
