what does your name mean?

some screen names are a given like mine........but some of your names just make me scratch my head. i have been thinking of this thread for a while and have finally decided to post. so if your not too embarrased to share i think this would be a fun one. a brief little story included would be cool too.

Flinn is my last name, but Flinno is what I call myself when I screw something up. "Way to go Flinno" Cheesy I know but what the he77. 18 was my baseball number since I can remember. This is a good question you got here. There should be some interesting posts to this thread.

kawika is Hawaiian for David.

Not too many pick this for their login screen name, and I can get it as my first pick when joining other groups. Easy to remember for me. Plus I grew up in Hawaii (O'ahu), Still have lots of family over there. Need to keep some of my roots..

Had a 92 F250 460 when I started to monitor FTE. It got about 6mpg pulling a small 5er. Yep, it really guzzled the fuel! Simple as that.
