If I make a short stop somewhere it will not start - have all lights and full power to gauges but no click or turn over. I wait a short time 10 -15 min and its starts up just fine. I drive it to work and 8 hours later starts no problem. Seems this is happening more now that its warm out. I can use several different keys when this happens with no difference and it will not start with the remote start either.

Sounds like a bad starter do you have a multi meter to do some testing?
