Hoarding Replacement Parts?? Reality Check Needed.

I need a reality check here. I think I am "normal" but maybe not.

I have started to feel a little uneasy if I don't have a few spare parts lying around. Even if I don't need them.

I generally would like to have on hand:

a. several spare tires (maybe 3 or 4), preferably GP4000s
b. a couple new chains
c. a spare cassette (or two)
d. spare bartape
e. spare helmet
f. spare set of brake and derailleur cables

As an example, I have all the above except I do not have a spare cassette...and I feel funny when I think about it...

I don't think I am OCD but maybe a little...I like to know that if I have an unexpected problem, that I will be able to keep riding.

What sayeth the 41? Normal? Abnormal?
