Okay. Good news, bad news.
Good news, I located my key.
Bad news, my wife (who I have been blaming for the last 48 hours) suggested I check a jacket that I had hanging outside as a result of the flood. Well, sure enough it was in the pocket. I'm siked.
Thanks again to 4Churchill for his offer. Very solid.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to put a few "extras" on the keychain to avoid losing it. It all starts with the H3 "zippo" keychain!

DWPC, are you saying they should be delivered with two remotes?

In response to earlier posts, not that anyone asked me:
1) There are no transponder chips in these keys, however there is an electromagnet anti theft device in the ignition cylinder.
2) The vehicle should come from the dealership with two keys, two remotes and a key code tag.
If you got less then go back to the dealer and get it taken care of. Put the key code tag in your owner's manual or in a safe, jewelry box, etc. It can save you a lot of cash if you loose your keys.
3) Lots of GM vehicles retain the key in the ignition if the battery goes dead. I don't get it. Is it a bug or a feature? Get power to the battery and your key will release.
4) If you MUST have the H3 logo on your key expect a duplicate to cost in the 5 to 10 dollar range. On the other hand, if you don't mind your duplicate key having a Chevy logo on it you can get one from a locksmith in the range from about 3 to 7 dollars.
5) The remotes are a basic Delphi model, there are lots of places that you should be able to find them on line for under a hundred bucks. I don't know for sure but I would venture to guess that they come with on board programing instructions that you can do yourself.

Got two keys made yesterday @$2.50/each from mom and pop lock shop. Think they used a chevy blank? Keys went into ignition smooth but door was a little challenging, having to force it in a bit.

Like that made sense.
I bought two spare keys when I bought my H3(at ORR), they cost 10$ for two. Not made from factory blanks ( they do not have H3 on them) other than that they work fine.

the chevy spares are about $4 cheaper then the HUMMER and Caddy spares....all the same though
the only keys that are very expensive are those with the k-key such as the chevy impala...that key actually has an embedded chip
