Killer Thermo Sudoku, "TTFN"
The usual Sudoku rules apply. The killer cages contain no repeat digits and in each cage the digits sum up to 32. Finally, there are thermometers in the grid. Digits along the thermometers must increase in value from the bulb end to the tip.
The colors serve no purpose other than to emphasize the cage forms.
The title is an abbreviation of 'Ta-ta for now' (A.A.Milne), implying that I wish to bid farewell to this puzzle idea. I had made a series of puzzles using similar logic and it is time for a change. The cage shapes also match the corresponding pentominoes T, T, F, and N. In addition, the givens present the number '86', which is kitchen jargon for cancellation. Enjoy!
Solution code: The digits of the 9th row, followed by those of the 2nd column (18 digits total)

Reply: yes, that is the origin of the phrase! You've prompted me to update the description with an attribution to the great A.A.Milne
