03 September 2003 ................... Wednesday I never did see Marilee today. At 08:30amMST I transitioned to David Shirey, then I drove to the Casa Grande Post Office where I mailed the "Receipt of Service" letter to the Attorney for Pretzer vs CAIDD. Then I stopped at Walgreens to get a "Blood Pressure" prescription. When arriving at Paradise, I move the horses then sleep till 2pm. I then drive to Casa Grande where I get Melissa from School. On the way home, Melissa and I check out the CAIDD Headgate to be sure the ordered water will come to us, tomorrow morning, also we take a reading of 92.77 off from the CAIDD Water Meter. I then move the Washing Machine so I can crawl in under the bathtub and repair the Drain leak there. I sleep till 8pm then Melissa and I have a really nice talk before I drive to work. At 10:20pmMST I receive a call from Melissa informing me that David and Andrew, just got home At Calence I transition with Craig Stolins.

04 September 2003 ........................ Thursday After I transition with David Shirey, I drive to "Paradise" where I get to see MARILEE !! We move the horses off from the Pastured just as the irrigation water is running onto the pastured from CAIDD. After the irragation we drive to CAIDD, where we file papers retain our SubContract Water Right, rather than to go for the "Settlement" excess water agreement In the evening I drive to Calence where I transition with Scott Thompson.

05 September 2003 ................................ Friday I left Paradise just after 05:00amMST. I drove to JW Marriot in Scottsdale for the Calence Retreat. In the evening We, Calence, were bused to "Cajun House" in Scottsdale, for Supper and entertainment.

06 September 2003 ................................ Saturday - Melissa 14 Today I awoke this morning, in the JW Marriot. Then I went to the "InHouse" Resteraunt for Breakfast with the rest of Calence.

Melissa has decided that if she gets MEAN enough she can get what she wants and guess what.......NO WAY is that going to happen

11 September 2003 ................................ Thursday - 2nd Anniversary of "911" I remember "911" as if it were yesterday. "911" changed my life forever. "911" was WORSE that "The Alamo" and/or "Pearl Harbor". And, as "The Alamo" and/or "Pearl Harbor" brought TOTAL defeat to the perpetrators "911" is bringing TOTAL defeat to the perpetrators. i.e. Osama/El Qaida/Taliban has been driven from Afganastan Saddam Hussein has been driven from Iraq the "Crosshairs" are now alignning on other Terrorists. The Terrorist are going down, and that is good. "911" taught me, and many others, the Islamic Extremist intend to exterminate ME and MINE. I/WE must find and destroy them, before they destroy ME/MINE. There is NO talking to do. Any person or group of persons that is willing to and DOES "Blow Up/Explode/Destroy" their own CHILDREN so as to inflict pain and suffering on Me, is a sick group, that has now gone beyond TALKING. I cannot figure out a sickness like that -"Blow Up/Explode/Destroy" their own CHILDREN so as to inflict pain and suffering on Me - But since "911" I no longer care what they believe, I want them found and destroyed. NOW. I begin this day, at 12:00:01, at Calence, Inc. It is now about 06amMST and I am here in the NOC, exactly where I was two(2) YEARS ago as the Hijacked Airliners were hitting the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I am watching, on the TV, the Memorials that are taking place in New York and PA and Virginia. We must never forget AND we MUST find and destroy, from the face of the earth, the kind of thinking that would drive a person or persons to do such a horrible thing. Following is an e-mail from Stacey Kagan and My Response to it Subject: Remembering I wanted to take a moment - on this anniversary of one of the most heinous crimes ever committed - to say "thank you", "I treasure you" . to each of you. There are so many feelings/thoughts/emotions rumbling through my head today. ------------------------------ Yep Yep Yep As this second anniversary was happening, I was located in exactly the same spot "The NOC" looking at exactly the same TV's, that were replaying exactly the same scenes, that horrified me 2 years ago, at exactly the same time of day. Again, it was a horrible experience. One that I still find hard to believe, that it happened at all. I was on duty two years ago just as I was this year. ------------------------------ So many things upon which to reflect --- so many things for which to be thankful. I am thankful for what we have in this country - for the chance for each of us to be all that we wish to be, for the educational opportunities afforded to us, for the ability for us to live where we want, go where we want, do what we desire. We are not "locked down", we do not live under a curfew, we are not constantly having to dodge missiles or bullets. I am thankful for each of you and the role within my life that you have had. Always remember - never forget - -------------------------------------------- I agree and that is why I am keeping the remembrance of "911" alive at www.wendelleyring.com. Go there and look at it again, and you WILL remember. I now know that these terrorists must be found and destroyed OR they will find and destroy you and me. Stacey, Thanks for helping me, and others, remember something that we must NEVER forget. Yours Truly, Wendell ------------------------------------------- I do NOT go to work this evening, I am on a new schecule now.

At 8:30am, after I transition to David Shirey, I drive to Tire Pro's on Casa Grande. I need them to rotate the tires on my Silverado but I can not tolerate the wait time so I go to Albertson's where I fill the Silverado with fuel, they buy a few groceries, getting $100.00 cash back, then deposit the PayFlex Check for $40.00, into the Well Agreement Account. Next I drive to CAIDD where I give them the $100.00 for irrigation water and I order water for Wednesday Morning. When I finally arrive at Paradise, I visit with Sharon Austin and her BoyFriend, for awhile, discussing the Well Agreement and the New Pump we had to install and the Warranty that is not yet approved!! I move the horses then go to bed. In the evening we have a very nice "Family Home Evening" with Marilee, David, Melissa and Myself. We read and discuss some really nice articles from past Ensign's and New Era's. It was good the the Spirit was there. I end this day at 11:59:59pmMST at Calence in Tempe. I am tired, very tired.

17 September 2003 ............................... Wednesday I begin this day at 12:00:01amMST at Calence in Tempe. I am tired, very tired. After transition to David Shirey, I drive to Paradise to find the Irrigation Water already running on the Pasture. I had ordered 1/2 Acre Foot of water, BUT, CAIDD delivered 1 Acre Foot of water and as a result we had water running all over the place!!!! Broken Ditch banks, washed out canvas. Just lucky the water did not run all over our neighbors, Johnsons - Pearsons - Austins. After the irrigation I sleep till nearly time to return to Calence. After a transition from Scott Thompson, I end this day at 11:59:59pmMST at Calence in Tempe.

Happy Birthday - DAD I begin this day at Calence at 12:00:01amMST. Today I picked up Melissa, then David, from School. Today was cloudy because of Hurricane Randy that has come on from the Pacific Ocean, made Landfall in Mexico/Baja California. I leave for work, at about 06:30pmMST, because I am going to Dad's Birthday Party. I drive to Mattas where I meet and visit with Dad, Laddy/Darren/Julie/Hank/Michelle, Maralise, Sandra/Carol/Nan, Pat, Connie/Laura/Erick/Kurt. It was great visiting with these Loved Ones.

Marilee just keeps getting better and better. Bro. Grover and Bro. Donaldson and I work for a long time but we finally get the Donation's done for today. Then I hurry home and take a nap before driving to Calence in Tempe where I transition with Scott Noga.

29 September 2003 ......................... Monday 31 Days till retirement I begin this day at 12:00:01amMST at Calence in Tempe. Soon I will be saying........I begin this day at 12:00:01amMST in bed in Paradise.[grin] Today My Silverado slipped off in to the irrigation ditch, when I was moving Orion. I was too tired to deal with it so I went to bed. When I go to get Melissa, from school, at 03:45pmMST I take the Impala. On the way home we stop to get some motor oil for it. I air up the tires. There are NO shock at all on the rear and the springs are sagged so bad that we hit bottom on any little bump. To make matters worse, the tail pipe has broken loose from the muffler and so since the muffler does not have any support, behind the exhaust manifold, it hangs very low and scraps on the ground, several times, at any little bump/bounce. Well, it got worse. On my way to work, the Left Front Tire blew out. When I went to change it, I found that the Spare was also Blown out. I had not been told about this!!!.........So now I was stuck on the side of I10, still about 30 minutes from Calence. I called Calence, Jared Harding, to let him know I would not be there by 10:30pmMST and maybe not at all. I later talked to Kevin Meeks and learned that Scott Noga was going to come in and cover my shift for me. I called Marilee and she came and got me and my two(2) blown out tires. We went to Wal*Mart, since they are open all night BUT the Tire shop is NOT open all night! We went home and looked at the wheels on the Horse Trailer and it really looked like it would work, so we took one of them to the Impala and it would not go on. Nothing more we can do tonight so we go to bed.

30 September 2003 ............................ Tuesday This morning at about 06:30amMST, I went with Marilee to take the kids to school [actually we drop them off at the Stake Center].. We then go to Wal*Mart to get a couple tires BUT they do not have our size. We go to Tire Pros and they do have the size so I have them mount a couple of new Tires on the loose wheels that we have with us. Marilee then takes me to the Impala, which is stranded on I10 at Mile Post approx 178. I put a new tire on the LF and put the other tire in the trunk, while walks over into the Freeway Median to retreive the hub cap that had gone flying off last night. Marilee then drives to Desert Samaratin Hospital for her days work and I drive to Harbor Freight Tools where I buy a Portable, 2000 pound Winch for $44.00. I then drive to Paradise where I sleep................. In the evening I drive to Calence.
