and... it's dead again

Well, not much good to tell here. As best I can tell, the starter relay switch is bad (melted inside as best I can tell). I ordered a new one, but the shop where I ordered forgot to place the order or some such mess (second time, shame on me) and I hope that it will be here on Monday or Tuesday. If that is the case, I will have it installed moments later and may be able to ride back to work after lunch.

I don't know if I am that brave yet. I may wait until after work to drive it around to block a bit before risking missing work.
