I kept taking pictures that were 1 rpm off but the consistency is pretty decent. I uploaded them from the phone while I was on the bike. They're in reverse order but you can see that I was trying to take pictures for a few minutes. It was killing me as my FTP is 200-220w. To put things in perspective when I was uploading my HR was down in the 115 bpm range. These efforts were anaerobic for me.

CDM, thanks so much for taking the trouble to do that. My mph for those gearings were just like yours so I imagine my power is pretty close to what you are showing give or take a few watts. I'm pretty happy with 288 watts for 30 min. especially not having actually ridden a bike (road or mtn.) in over 4 months. Now I have a point of reference and can hopefully increase my power a little while waiting for the spring to get here.
On a side note, it looks like you have Nokon cables. How do you like em? Thanks again!
