I kept thinking about attending the Goodwill auction, but have actually reached the point where I'm quite happy with the five bikes currently in the garage. If anything, I need more time to RIDE not spend all my spare time working on bikes. I finally got around the motorcycle projects getting in the way of the bicycles by taking them one at a time to work and spending my lunch hour completing them.

I liked the concept of the guide for the bicycle scout - just don't get it bogged down into too much detail. If you've got a volunteer willing to look out for you, and you can teach her to snag you nothing worse than a 70's Raleigh Record, you're doing just fine - don't worry about the finer details. Enjoy it, and sell off the stuff that isn't quite up to your standards.
