I suppose that's true... It wouldn't be quite as accurate as measuring the temp of the water exactly, but it'd be close. Actually though, I don't have quick disconnects so this isn't really an option.

It would be a helluva lot easier than putting a small hole in a hose and sealing it back up good enough so that you were absolutely sure it wouldn't leak. And I'd bet that if you insulated the quick disconnect or whatever part you attached the sensor to (brass nipple, copper water block, etc) that it would be close enough to the direct measurement that you couldn't tell the difference after it reached equilibrium.
