Well, its working just like I thought but there's another problem. When input temp reaches over 100 it works fine. When it goes back down the extra character after the two spaces stays there. I tried to fix it... Looks like maybe I'll be going another route. It looked perfect though with counter only at 5. Temp was updated around every second or so. Maybe a little faster but it looked perfect. 
I'll update even if no one reads. Maybe someone down the road will?
