One click while trying to start and nothing else

Can't get my 07 B2300 automatic to start. I get one click from the starter solenoid and nothing else. Battery is fine, got it tested and everything so I'm pretty sure it's the starter. Can anyone confirm? And is there anyway I can get the thing started to at least get it somewhere to work on it?

No, no way to start an automatic without starter motor working

Yes, it does read like starter motor is bad

I assume headlights are bright, so ground is OK
You can use a Jumper Cable from battery Positive to battery positive cable connection on the starter motor, see if it spins, if so replace positive battery cable

Dammit, that's what I thought.

Yep, was the starter, switched it out and it's all good now.
