Which kayak were you looking at?  I have a yellow Wilderness Outfitters Tarpon 120 that I got this spring.  Before that, I was fishing from a little 9 foot Coleman.  The Coleman is light and easy to carry, but it has no storage and it's not easy to paddle, especially if there is any wind.   I wanted something I could use on our Hill Country rivers, and in the coastal backwaters.  The 120 is a good compromise and I'm really happy with it.

A 24" widescreen LCD monitor

This is 22 inches, but the smaller size is overcome by the great price of $189.00 :-)

I want a new computer.  Mine is about 4 years old, which isn't THAT old, but I use it every single day and it's starting to get a little sluggish.  I probably can make it last another year or two, especially if I re-format.

I want to wait for Windows 7 to come out, though.  It sounds from everything I hear that Vista is going to get left behind, sorta like Windows ME did.

Any speculation on if it's worth the wait?

I would love a new snowblower but the one I have now will be fine.

I also want a 2008 World Series Champions Boston Red Sox hat.  I'll pick one of those up around Halloween.

After reading this, I immediately thought of those "spoke too soon" misprint championship shirts that were sent to third world nations... I suppose those unfortunate wretches could use some hats as well.

Ah, heck.  If I don't get my 2008 edition I guess the 2004 and 2007 will suffice until 2009!

I don't like the "sit on top" ones....I used one alast year on a float trip...It seemd like I would fart,and the Kayak would go one direction,and I'd go the other way.....I do alot of River floating,So Small and Manuverability,plus stability is key for me....

I bought mine from Bass Pro shops right down the road...(the one I never got) Old Town Otter XT Kayaks (except I can't fine the exact one,it had the in back Like the Old Town Dirigo) I don't think I need the XT though,which Since I lost so much weight...(it had a higher weight limit than the Normal otter) The Normal Otters are on sale at Bass pro for like $220...Too bad it's so late in the year...

I agree with you about being able to pick it and carry it..The Otter is only like 40 lbs...
