I would probably do more woodworking. I have just treated myself to a small lathe and that is a lot of fun.
My garden overall would also receive a bit more attention than it does now and the bonsai growbeds would make fine raised beds for vegetable growing.

There was this meeting of bonsai societes presidents or leaders in Germany. At the dinner table I realized that they spoke about tropical fish instead of bonsai.
They all seemed to know what they were talking about. Me too, btw.

I asked 'now I want to know it, who of you has or had an aquarium?.

Fifteen hands rose. One did not move but looked sort of embarrassed. Everbody stared at him.
'But I had a terrarium' he said.
Hilarious laughter.

Jon Kypros

I would hit my caps lock key

Carl_Bergstrom

I would climb.

I used to do both, until my daughter was born. One hobby had to go. No contest!

Lol, Jon.

My dad has had a 90 gallon fresh water aquarium, a 40 gallon salt water, and a 90 gallon coral reef. I have enjoyed helping him set up the tanks and stocking them with fish. That would probably be my hobby if I was able to save up the couple of thousand $$ to get a reef started.

Suiseki would also be a big hobby for me. Technically it is not bonsai; in fact many people that talk on the suiseki gallery on IBC do not talk on the bonsai gallery.

If I didn't have my tree's I could definetly travel more. I would also have more money too throw at my reef tank.

I always loved fish and used to import, breed and sell tropical fish for a living in the early '80's. Had a breeding pair of Rams too, which I was very proud of at the time. I kept Koi as well at the time just for fun and started my bonsai hobby. Did a good bit of model making at the time.
Now I'm a professional portrait painter. I still wouldn't call myself an artist though.
Seems to be a pattern developing here. Like shoe menders also seem to be good at cutting keys.
