Maybe the key is that he never made the writing on the wall (http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=6271&name=narbonic#strip5). Synchronicity occurs before he gets to the bathroom (http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=6765&name=narbonic). My hypothesis is either that he was supposed to write the note to himself and did in the original timeline, or he wasn't supposed to, and didn't. After all, the original timeline did have Dave time-traveling (http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?name=narbonic&view=archive&chapter=206#strip3).
My money is on him having written the note to himself in the original timeline. After all, that way he's merely bouncing around in the original timeline until he hits synchronicity, and it explains why his future self thought they would fill a swimming pool (http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?name=narbonic&view=archive&chapter=6275#strip3) for synchronicity.
Of course, it's also possible that Dave was supposed to learn about the synchronicity here (http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=6756&name=narbonic). But I like other theory better.
