@streakmachine A tan is simply an indication of sun-damaged skin. A workmate once observed that his Aboriginal wife had paler skin than mine.
That's probably not a good thing.

@streakmachine Don't look like spotted beavers to me. Can't see any spots at all. More like big brown beavers.
@larand Of the two, I imagine the lesser figure was expected. I experienced the same water heater issues in December 2016. Similar cost to fix but the newer gas unit has a mains-powered igniter rather than a wind-affected pilot light.
@streakmachine And you can’t write “advertisements” without semen between the tits.
Today was unpleasant. Back, hip & knee issues made walking unaided impossible without considerable pain. A “Newcomers & Greenhorns” session at the Mac User Group meeting dissolved into a shouting match as the convenor refused to consider alternative descriptions of what a podcast was. I left at that point - halfway through - claiming excess pain (which was a contributing factor) as my reason.
@streakmachine Fancy some Turkish meatballs? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/03/my-whole-life-has-been-a-lie-sweden-admits-meatballs-are-turkish
@streakmachine My last three cars have had Michelins fitted by choice, they're supposed to last 20% longer than other brands in the same price/size range as well as being very quiet on the road.
My current vehicle has some cheap Chinese hoops called HiFly HF201. I researched as much as I could about them & it turns out they last almost as well as Michelins, have good all-road condition grip and are reasonably silent. And the things are amongst the cheapest available.
Price has never been a consideration of mine when buying tyres. Just buy the best you can afford. I'd prefer Michelins but these hoops have plenty of tread on them (I've done 11,000 km on them) so there's no reason to change them.
