Just when I thought it was going so well

As I was getting ready to glue the cabinet sides up I remembered that I
hadn't cut a dado for the back. Got that done without issues (I thought).
As I was glueing the sides up I realized that I had cut dados on the front
stiles as well as the back. Now I have another patch job tomorrow. Seems
like I have a major brain fart like this about 1.333x a project.
Oh well.
I know y'all out there are a lot better and never have these kinds of
issues. :)

It helps not to day dream during the glue up, or when cutting dado's,
rabbet's. It can be easy to let mussel memory take over and foul every
thing up.. ;~)

Craftsmanship is learning to cover your errors well enough that nobody else
will ever notice them and whatever you do or how long you do it you will
probably never have _everything_ go exactly as intended.
