I forgot my gloves

We were up at dawn in 11 deg F temperatures.  We packed up and were ready to leave after an hour.   Thankfully, no frost on the wings this morning.   I took off, but immediately realized I had forgotten my gloves when I "lightend my load" as part of my preflight.   I returned to land and found my gloves.  As soon as I took off, I did not feel the familiar bump of my wallet in my back pocket.  Did I pack it away?  I headed back and landed again and found it tucked inside my pack.  Paul was patiently circling south of the Hooper Airstrip the entire time.  Finally I was off for good and heading south for the last leg of the trip.
