Screwed the pooch!

I am usually pretty good about repacking my main camera bag if take something out of it. Something that carried over from my traveling regatta days.
However this morning I totally screwed the pooch when trying to get out to try a low light photo idea I have had for awhile.
I failed to check my bag before leaving the house, and forgot that I had taken the tripod mount off my 5D MKIV when using the battery grip, and had used it a couple weekends ago while shooting a closed hotel. I had also put my remote shutter release in the 7D bag.
While it is possible to work around the remote release using the built in 2 Second Timer, you just can not do long exposure photography without a tripod. I had a spare base for my Gitzo in the car, but did not have my Gitzo!
Maybe this is serendipity telling me its time to unpack and clean everything anyway.
