If you went by the calls you get from duct cleaning services saying that
it is time to get them done again it would probably be an adequate
reminder for the filter change.

We don't get those calls. Benefit of not having a landline.
 
We have two filters. One serves as a prefilter. It uses something like
this:
 
<https://www.grainger.com/product/5W498>
 
We try to change that once a month.
 
The other filter is a big pleated job. I think we change that twice a year.

I got one on my cell phone a couple nights ago.

When I got my new furnace and AC a few years back I asked the installer
about filters. He said to just get the cheap ones and change them monthly.

My furnace, water heater, and a sump pump are the only thing down there.
It's a dugout with a vapor barrier laid on the dirt floor and thankfully
there is no reason for me to go to that dungeon.

Popeye really enjoys his trips to get his prostate checked.

water bottles generally instruct the buyer not to put them in the
freezer. Having it in the freezer does me no good when I want a
water bottle bed side during the night. With ice, my water bottle
still has ice 36-40 hours later.

I've got two water bottles in the refrigerator. One is just a 24 or 26
ounce one with a 'built-in' straw and I drink out of it throughout the
day. The other one is a 34 or 36-ounce metal insulated bottle and it
goes with me when I leave the house. It stays in the 'frig door a bit
over 3/4 full of water and I have one of those blue ice 'sticks' that
stays in the freezer. When I head out the door the 'stick' goes in that
insulated bottle and the water stays COLD for at least 24-36 hours.

I may be the oddball in the group, but I don't get all that excited
about ice water. I drink a lot of water every day, much of it at room
temperature. Sometimes I keep some in the fridge. I public water
fountains and many of them are cooled. I carry a refillable plastic
bottle full of water in a bag on my motorcycle. Most times I am out
riding that water is likely to be almost warm, but it still works for me.

Talking about heading out the door, how's the biking going?

There's an amusing Scottish song which uses marry, merry and Mary, words
which in some areas are pronounced identically (not in most of Scotland,
though).
 
My NZ cousins pronounce fairy and ferry the same - really confused my
mother when she was visiting them.

These things make the English accent hard for foreigners. The
difference between bet, bed, bad, bat. Or hat, had, head. Lucky that
you don't have het and hed.

I guess Kiwis sound as funny to Australians as Australians do to
Americans and English.
 
Australian soldiers are in a desperate situation during the war.
Suddenly English soldiers join them. An Australian soldier says to an
English soldier: "Did you come here to die?" The Englishman replies:
"No, we arrived yesterday".

Sorry, but he slipped through the cracks.

I've got one here too. They installed them several years ago and
asked if they could install a larger and uglier "hub" type on the
barn because it would be able to act as a collector for many other
units on this mountain ridge.
 
So I have one that spies on a bunch of folks :)

LOL. Because no government ever spied on it's citizens using the
telephone system.
 
Also, because most 'cannabis computer engineers' just can't figure
out to maintain privacy on their 'cell phones'...

I guess I must be spied on twice, maybe three times. I've got the
smart electric meter and the water meter is a smart one as well. I'm
not sure about the gas meter but I've not seen anyone come around and
read it in about a hundred years.
 
Spies, spies, spies everywhere!! John run to your safe place!!!
