Normal sudoku rules apply. The numbers on the outside of the grid refer to the adjacent row or column, and indicate that the digits residing between the 1 and 9 must sum to that number (do not include the 1 or 9 in the sum). Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end. I think this puzzle is 3 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome!

what a nice puzzle. took me ~50 min but it was well worth the time as the interactions across the grid were beautifully set. Break in was nice and easy and then it unfolded its beauty. Thanks!
