Puzzle No 160: Hybrid Sudoku

I created this Sudoku to exploit an interesting discovery I found in a "No Even Neighbor Sudoku".

I have also published this Sudoku on the LMD website, if you would like to go over there and provide your rating, I would really appreciate it.

Rules:

1. Normal classic rules apply. i.e. Place numbers in the grid such that each row, column, and 3*3 box contain the numbers 1-9.

2. Thermo rules apply. i.e. Some thermometer shapes are in the grid, digits must be strictly increasing from the round bulb to the flat end.

3. Little Killer rules apply. i.e. Outside clues are the sum of digits along the pointed arrow direction, digits may repeat as long as classic rules are satisfied.

4. No Even Neighbor rules apply. i.e. No Two Even digits can be orthogonal to each other. (i.e. they can't share an edge)
