When you turn the key to start and the engine doesn't crank-
Do you hear a 'click' from the area of the starter? (it would come from behind the firewall, by your right knee)
If you hear a click, then it is either the starter or the solenoid, most likely the solenoid. The solenoid has the electrical contacts that actually connect the starter to the battery. Since the solenoid is mounted on the starter and therefore requires starter removal to get at, I'd look at replacing both. At 192K, it owes you nothing.
If you DON'T hear a 'click', then it is likely a bad ignition switch.
The best way to access the starter is from below.
