I am running one controller to control 1 relay right now for two blankets. I have a seperate PID to act as a temperature gauge to watch the second blanket to make sure it doesn't run and if it does i just flip a toggle to kill power to that one blanket. And yes, one blanket will heat up faster then another. for me it's the bottom blanket as the top blanket gets dissipated through the cat track.
I will be re-doing my setup once i get some time to have two relays. One for each blanket for better system control. And will be buying the new controllers from omega. And so I can set different temps for top and bottom when i want without baby sitting.

Nah I don't.
Mostly Sunday River and Sugarloaf. Thats where my roots are for the most part and most of my friends/people I know ride those two.
I'd like to get over there though.

I love the scene! Never would have thought of using that as a back drop.

Thanks guys.
I've been checking the train yards regularly waiting for the right colors to come through. Finally got what I was looking for. Good lighting too.

Milestone!
Don't have to babysit my PID anymore. WOOOO!!! Though this does probably mean my BTSR will go down guys...

Sometimes when BTSR is too high it can have an inverse effect on the end product or cause injury. It's a funny ratio like that.

I've yet to notice an inverse effect on the end product, only slight injury
Like wise I've noticed STSR (sleep to ski ratio) has an inverse effect on everything
