I've got a couple things in mind...
• A road/touring/general use dropped bar bike. Nothing too hardcore, probably a cyclocross bike with some changes to make it more functionable* for my uses. (*not real word)
• Wide-tire capable fixed gear. I like my Motobecane Messenger but the biggest I can go is 28mm rubber. Bianchi San Jose is what I'd like but Phantom Cross Uno is probably more realistic with my budget.
• At some point I'd like to build a bike from the frame up. I redid an old 10 speed into a fixed gear in a "frame up" restoration for my wife a couple years ago (she never rode it) but I'd like to build up a bike for myself.
Also on my bike-stuff radar is the fact that I'm moving from my tiny apartment to a house with a dedicated bike storage room and an amazing workshop so I will once again have access to my tools (welder, saws, etc.) so I can get back to the business of building ridiculous bike stuff. I'll probably build a new/improved bicycle stereo trailer, a new front cargo rack, and some other stuff I haven't even thought of yet.
