Yet another spider I can't identify. Thank you for any help.

This is a jumping spider (family Salticidae), but the color pattern is different from any that I have ever seen. It likely is an unusual variant of an otherwise common species.

Suunto, once again you've come to the rescue. How would I ever have been able to figure this one out. I keep trying, but it doesn't always get easier. Thanks for the help!

How about Eris militaris? http://bugguide.net/node/view/275807

Good possibility; one that I overlooked. Eris flava can be very similar in appearance, the main difference appearing to be the band of white scales between the chelicerae bases and the anterior eyes on flava (see http://tinyurl.com/yktyamp) that is lacking in militaris.
