Re: [LincolnTalk] Chimney Flashing replacement repair contractor recommendedation

[Rob Haslinger]

We recently had some minor roof repair done by Universal Roofing
508-922-8108.  They were one of the only roofers we could willing to some
repair rather than put a new roof on.

Good luck

[LincolnTalk] What am I doing wrong with my hummingbird feeder?

[Rob Haslinger]

So a week ago I hung up a hummingbird feeder. I’ve seen three of the little
guys come and check it out and then fly away without drinking. So I must be
doing something wrong. I did 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. I’ve also been
changing it out so I don’t think the nectar has gone bad.

Anyone have any tips or tricks?

Thanks!!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Radical change in Lincoln

[Rob Haslinger]

Being new to town I’m not terribly familiar with the town meeting process.
I will note however that for those of us with time consuming
responsibilities (in our case small children) it may be challenging to
attend a lengthy meeting despite caring deeply about the issues and doing
our best to stay informed.  Just a comment, I may be missing something
about how this works.

[LincolnTalk] Looking for display case

[Rob Haslinger]

This is a pretty random question, but anyone have thoughts on  where I
might buy a display case for a small <1 foot  high statue? I’m thinking of
some sort of domed glass casing set onto a wood base. Doesn’t have to be
museum grade but not totally flimsy either.

I said it was a random question :-) Thx in advance.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Many more than 640 units may be developed. An explanation

[Rob Haslinger]

Hi Ben and others -

Thanks for digging into the details of how the state compliance model
works. I'm a Data Scientist by profession so the video seemed clear to me
after a few viewings, but I'm still drinking my coffee and not firing on
cylinders yet so I wanted to sanity check my understanding.

As I understand you, the crux of the problem is that the state model for
calculating compliant units can not be used to accurately estimate the
number of units that could by right be built on parcels that include
wetlands. This stems from two factors:

 1) The state model underestimates buildable area because it removes 20% of
the area for "free space" before subtracting off the wetlands, rather than
after subtracting wetlands (as seems more reasonable). This lowers the
number of compliant units we get per parcel, which means we need more
parcels to comply.
2) The actual number of units a developer can legally build on a parcel has
nothing to do with the number of compliant units, but instead is simply the
total parcel area (including wetlands) multiplied by the zoned density
which under the HCA must be 15 units per acre.

The upshot then is that if we include parcels with wetlands, the number of
units that can be built by right may be many more than the number of
compliant units. The number of compliant units is therefore extremely
misleading for estimating how many units might be built by right.

Do I correctly understand your points or have I missed something?

Thanks again for the effort you put into digging in and explaining the
details to us all.

Cheers

Rob Haslinger

Re: [LincolnTalk] Longtime Gas Leak on Sandy Pond Road

[Rob Haslinger]

As Andrew says, there's a prioritization process and they are very, very
backed up. When we lived in Arlington there was a terrible leak under our
street that all the neighbors could smell. We called National Grid and they
did send someone out to look. He was very honest with us and explained that
the only way a crew would be sent out in any reasonable time frame was if
the leak was within 10 (or close to that) feet of a house or manhole.

In our case it turned out the leak was in the main right under the manhole,
so a crew arrived within 30 minutes. It was indeed quite the process of
ripping up the street and fixing it.

Best Rob

Re: [LincolnTalk] What is this bird call

[Rob Haslinger]

It was the begging call of a juvenile barred owl. Here’s a recording

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zh-XSglkR8

It was freaking out my kids because it was right outside their bedroom
window and I was totally confused because I didn’t realize the juveniles
made that call. The closest thing I could think of was a screech owl but
that wasn’t it.

Thanks to everyone who replied! My kids are no longer freaked out!

[LincolnTalk] Raptor rescue?

[Rob Haslinger]

Is there an organization around here that does raptor rescue? We were
walking along south great road by Hannan farms and a young red tail sitting
on a fence post took off and immediately took a header into the road. I
shooed it back to the side. Looks like a broken wing. Last I saw it it was
settling down for the evening on the porch railing of 280 south great rd.

I’m assuming by the time this gets posted and morning rolls around nature
will likely have taken it’s course … on the chance it hasn’t, is there any
organization that rescues hurt raptors?

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln Green Energy Choice

[Rob Haslinger]

You can go to this MA govt page and compare rates of different suppliers.

https://www.energyswitchma.gov/#/

 It’s pretty easy to compare and change with a few clicks. You do have to
check the terms, that there no early cancel fees and also be mindful to
check that your rate won’t go up after the intro period. It likely will
since I believe most of these suppliers suck you in with a low into rate
and hope you forget to check at the end of the initial contract period. But
you can change as often as you want as long as your contract doesn’t have
an early cancellation fee. You just have to stay on top of this.

Before July the base eversource rate in Lincoln was 26c/kWh which is pretty
egregious but it dropped to 16 in July. They change the base rate Jan and
July.

Good luck
Rob

[LincolnTalk] Violin teacher for adult

[Rob Haslinger]

Hi I’m looking for a violin teacher for myself. I played very seriously for
about 25 years and then burned out and have only played occasionally for
the last 20. The skill is still there but I’m very very rusty.

Anyone have suggestions for a local teacher who might be able to get me
back up to speed? If they have any experience with bluegrass fiddle that
would be a significant plus but right now I just need a bit of a kick to
get playing again.

Thanks!

[LincolnTalk] Child’s swim lessons

[Rob Haslinger]

Can anyone recommend a place on the area for swim lessons for a 4.5 year
old? Does not have to be private although we’d do that as well if it was an
option.

Thanks!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Baby deer

Best thing is to leave it be. Most likely the mother will come back.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Tick treatment - yard

[Rob Haslinger]

Ditto. I’m also looking for a tick spraying service and would appreciate
any suggestions.

As for dealing with ticks and a small child, long sleeves, a hat and tick
spray containing Picardin help but nightly tick checks are also a must.
Fine tweezers gentle pulling and then ice cream to deal with the tears

[LincolnTalk] Piano lessons?

[Rob Haslinger]

Hi Everyone

We just moved to Lincoln and are looking for a local piano teacher for our
8 year old. She’s a relative beginner with about 8 months of Suzuki book
one under her belt. Any recommendations are most appreciated .. our current
teacher is great but going back and forth to the city is already becoming
wearisome.

Thanks in advance!
