• James set a new track record at Road America this weekend!
 
08/05/99 9:42:25 AM
• Just in case you didn't know, The Blair Witch Project was not based on anything remotely real.  Snap out of it, it's a freaking movie!!  And a bad one at that.  Sheesh.
• Big Box works at Abbott now!.  Uncomfortable encounter in the Abbott cafeteria results in visible pain to coworkers.  Co-workers laugh. Armand turns red from embrassement.
• Quote of the day, (says the Dangerous one) "Maybe some other time."  I guess that about says it all.
 
08/07/99 7:35 PM
• The class at CUW I'm taking now is "Heritage of Faith".  I've come to discover that my faith in God was never in question.  It's my faith in (wo)men that is.
• Someone once told me they had this, "Honesty problem".  Just remember that a half truth is a full lie.  Don't worry, they already know the whole story.  And I'm not afraid to tell anyone that asks, either.
• Don't sweat it Trevor, your still the better person.  Remember the guy the used his family for punching bags.
 
08/16/99 1:17 AM
• If I'm part Chinese and part Filipino, does that make me a ChinkaPino?  Add the European part and I'm a Euro-ChinkaPino?

• D's nickname is still "Danger", but it's a whole different type now...
• No, Becky.  It's nothing serious.
 
08/17/99 1:33 AM
• My little brother sent me this article on the history of Filipino Americans [Click Here].  For the first time I am more embarrassed to be American than Flip!  He's taught me more about Flips than anybody.
• Emilie?  Little Brother, bring her before your BB for his approval.
 
08/30/99 9:38 PM
• Check out an interesting rιsumι. That's funny, we only  have three servers in that department and she's a manager?   I could go on, but why?  Don't worry, this is all public information at headhunter.com!  Of course they don't allow editorials by the public.  Too bad.
 
09/12/99 7:02 PM
• Started to streamline web page for faster loading, making all pages work for 800x600 resolution.  I forget not everyone runs super high res and faster internet connections.
• Added Grandma's picture to the photo gallery.
The TechoFlip Times
Was Geno almost a Victim of "road rage"?
09/13/99 11:42 PM

• Finished! (see above)
 
09/14/99 11:26 PM
• The 911 is back in top form, the oil leak was just a $9.54 pressure switch.  I set a new record from AP6C to Rιco: 21 minutes door to door! Still, that MAF upgrade is calling out to me.  281+HP.... can't resist.... must give in.....
• I'm moving back to AP34....But by the end of the year I'll be able to check out a nice rack everyday.
• Wonder how Skorp is doin' in Texas and if his rating scale has changed any?
• I had dinner at a Japanese restaurant tonight, and someone actually asked the chef to grill up a big hunk of leftover FAT!  As if that golden shrimp wasn't enough to set one up for an angioplasty.
• They're still messing with the carbs on the bike.  Can you say "pickup coil"?  I knew you could. But it comes out pilot jet when they say it....
 
09/17/99 8:39 PM
• 131MPH +1.07 Speedo error = 139.1 and the object of my destruction is definitely red.  And I doubted true love.
 
09/28/99 8:24 PM
• I'm really tired....all the time.
• Who went to training at PPI on the 23rd?
• The "Dangerous" one is watching.
 
10/1/99 10:00 AM
• Good Luck, Olivia.  I miss ya already! ;-)
 
10/6/99 11:42 PM

• An old roomie is coming back in December.  Hope to have the remodeling done by then.
• Check out a line from an email I received: "would you like to have a good time this weekend?"  It could be me but I think something got lost in the translation.  I hope not.

• Kitchen remodeling is going well.  Cabinets are on order. 
• The living room is just about 100% finished, just waiting for a slab of marble.
• Winter is right around the corner, sigh:
• The "Mac Daddy Vibe" is useless against the cold.  Double sigh.
• And to make matters worse: 12 days and the 911 goes into hibernation.
 
10/26/99 8:43 PM
• Skorp's a wanted man... By Abbott Security!  Was that a "low speed - OJ Simpson style chase"?  And he gets away!!!!
 
11/8/99 10:03 AM
• Consider it squashed, LB.

11/22/99 11:40 AM
• Kitchen is coming along great!
• Saturday's party aftermath:
-Mitch: I believe I counted about 9 shots. Considering the amount I usually drink, I'm surprised  I'm alive
-Skorp: (11/22/9910:20:28 AM): My gut is STILL gurgling! 
-Jason: All booze is good booze! I need another weekend so I can recover from this last one.  Did anyone make any donations to the porcelain god?
-Armand:Geno praised the bowl twice I hear. Were you there when we threw him sleeping bag and all into the car?  I guessed Brian slammed the car door on his head pretty good!

• For those of you wondering, Tinita has passed away.

1999

1-Retrospectacle: Then I hit thirty one, guess I can't complain.  But I must have been lonely - that night I bumped into DeAnne.  She came for dinner and stayed all night, but the lie detectors broke down every time I tried to smile, broke down like the stories of my life.  Each dream I missed by half a mile... (borrowed slightly from Thomas Dolby)
