Dave,
Glad to hear you're OK. Glad to hear that
this was not a failure of the engine or engine systems (and thanks for
being a stand up guy and admitting what happened). Just saw the blurb on
10News. Nice job on the landing - didn’t look like a whole lot of space to
maneuver there.
I've actually thought of removing the cold start
switch from my panel. I've never used it.

Boy, word sure gets around these days..
short
answer... inadvertently hit cold start switch while messing with GPS and flying
at 1000' AGL.. not enough time to troubleshoot... had to fly plane
and find a place to land.
Both happy and appalled when the I realized the
problem 2 minutes after the commotion stopped. The tower must have been
plain appalled when I took off again later this afternoon.
