I used the door key to turn the alarm off. I tried the ignition key again and still nothing. I checked over the fuses and everything was good. I decided to give Marc Haibeck a call and got one of his employees. After telling him about the car and what it was doing he said to advance the key to start and check to see if the interior lights dimmed showing a draw from the starter circuit. This time the car started right up like nothing was wrong. Drove home and parked it back in the garage. I tried it a few minutes later and it started fine. So that's where I'm at.

Heat soak on the starter. (drive the car about 20-30 minutes and get it hot, turn it off, let it sit 5 minutes and try to start it...likely will not start, but will start cold.)
If you haven't done the relay upgrade yet, I would do it because it will need it, if not now,...later, but sounds like it's time for a starter rebuild and valley cleanout.
