Angry AAARRRGGGHHHH.......Dang Lucas starter switch!!!

Tom, Gary S, Keith & Rich, Dick & Matt(maybe),
Here we have nice cool weather, sunny skys & a BEAUTIFUL day ahead, and I have been outwitted by a really simple ( & probably cheap) Lucas starter switch!! I had a feeling it was going out last Tuesday when I drove up to pick Drew up to go to the SCAT meeting. Sure enough, after I dropped him off & turned south on Hillcrest, wnen I crossed over a RailRoad track thats probably not 200 yards away, the D#%$ thing gave up the ghost.This has happened once before, so I knew ALL I had to was hold the switch in the ON position with my left hand- with only about 1/64" play between off and start! Then ALL I had to do was drive home, which is about 9-10 miles South on Hillcrest, driving & shifting with my right hand.........nnnnooooooo problem!! I ordered two switches Wednesday, but unfortunately they have not come in yet, but I will not have this problem again. So far, I have completely destroyed the old on that first went out trying to "fix" it without luck..oh well, I just don't think it was meant to be for me, at least today!!
Rats!!
The rest of you guys have fun, so I guess I'll just go watch Lyndsie at her Dallas Assault VolleyBall Club practice this afternoon from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
Rats!!
