It just clicks once like the starter is hung in the fly. I just tried to jump it for everyone that thought it was my battery. Checked the oil yesterday, and theres no water in it. Tomorrow im going to pull the starter and ill post some results. Wasn't trying to get huffy its just tough not to when your love wont start. Thanks for all your comments.
Tap (not pound) on the starter with a hammer...then try to start. You might also check the battery connections...remove the cables, clean if necessary and tighten.
I assume all of your acc's work....headlights, radio, blower, etc.?

Alright problem solved. Although i am not sure why it wouldn't start my best bet is that it was vapor locked. I removed the surpentine belt and turned the crank and she started up just fine. Not quite sure what the problem was but it is fixed for now, if anyone have incountered this and knows better than i do what it would be i would be glad to know. Thanks for all of your comments and ideas.

First a couple of minutes on battery cable jump is not much of a charge. But like I said in my first post the battery is a bucket of electricity when the temp goes down the bucket gets smaller so just warming temps will make the bucket bigger.
One easy thing would have been to bring the battery into a warm space, charge it up, then reinstall it in the car and try to start it.
I think this is a mystery that will never be solved untill it happens again.
