You know you did it wrong when...

When decide on that beer you haven't done in a while or a new beer, which uses one special ingredient. You know you have it, so you set up for it, start prep, all they way through grinding the grist only to find you are missing one key ingredient; yeast, malt, whatever.
Of COURSE there is zero chance of you procuring this in time for the brew...

And that's not only when brewing!
Or you know you got that piece of equipment, but it is not in the place that you were 100% sure it was.

I lost my ipod classic a few years ago, couldn't find it anywhere for months. It was very upsetting. I found a refurbished one on Amazon so I bought it, and it wasn't cheap either. About 3 months later of course I found it, right where I left it. As soon as I saw it I actually remembered the day I put it there.
So yeah, now I have two!

Ah yes that little piece of paper or for us carpenters the little block of wood with all the #s

Kind of the definition of junk, all that stuff laying around until you get tired of looking at it and throw it away. Then need it the next day.

One is none and two is one.
