Hi folks,
Any one have recommendations for a tried/tested/trusted service shop/handyman to wall mount a 65 inch TV? Any suggestions for a good place?
I’m a little worried about mounting it myself though I have the tools and mount and everything. 🫣
TIA.

Ptbo chess players: A group of us continue to meet at The Only Cafe (216 Hunter St W) on Mondays at 6:30pm.

Hope to see some more faces out there tomorrow. Bring your own board.

Wondering if anyone else receives an abnormal amount of car door dings in parking lots etc here? Seems like a highly disproportionate amount. Just curiosity!

Anyone seen them in any garden store this year? I looked where I got them last year and no luck.

Annual, not perennial sorry.

while I go to the skatepark often I really enjoy street skating aswell, since Peterborough is my closest town, I search pretty often for urban areas with good stair sets, ledges, and other natural concrete features, that allow for doing tricks on. I've been downtown on George, and spent the day skating there, but was wondering if anyone else knew any good areas with an abundance of concrete architecture

Does anyone know of any experience living on the 550 McDonnel street? Currently me and my bf are very close to signing the lease for a studio apartment in there and after viewing it honestly is a nice space and didn’t see any signs of anything bad. It is a pretty old building tho, so if anyone has any experience, hopefully a good experience let me know!

Is there anyone new here in peterborough who wants to play pickleball on a regular basis (non competitive) - I've looked at the drop in sessions around but it looks like there's only few who signs up (or none, please feel free to correct me)

Please send me a message. I'm committed to doing this at least 2x a week! Thank you!

Im trying to find out if a film is coming to Peterborough and for some reason you can’t actually speak to a human when calling just an automated robot, anybody got any tips on how I’d find out that information??

I'm just gonna rant about a story that happened today.

First: In a matter of 3 days, I've seen a collision at Wolsely and Chemong (I think yesterday or 2 days ago), a collision at Charlotte and Rubidge (today), and a collision at Parkhill and Reid (today). Poor driving seems much more common in the last few days with this hot weather.

But I wanna rant about this dummy who decided to block off an intersection to fix a problem with his tied down lumber.

Earlier when I had to divert around Reid/Parkhill collision I came out through Chesterfield to Wolsely to get back to Chemong. As I drove up to Wolsely, this guy (driving down Wolsely towards Chemong), in his SUV and aluminum trailer (with 12ft lumber sticking out the back), pulls over, but right in the middle of Chesterfield, blocking any access to Wolsely.

I approached cautiously, thinking he was trying to back into a driveway or something, but he just parked it and jumped out. I was kinda dumbfounded. I eventually honked at him to move, and he angrily waved me to drive around him... Ok buddy, so you want me to drive down the opposite lane of Chesterfield, and risk getting hit by oncoming vehicles, because you decided to block traffic? Why didn't you turn onto Chesterfield? Why didn't you pull to the curbside instead of blocking a whole fucking road? You want me to wait for you now? Or pull a dangerous maneuver to get around you?

By the way, I had 3+ vehicles behind me on Chesterfield that were also detouring around that Reid/Parkhill collision, so he didn't just block me, but others as well.

I decided to drive around him in the oncoming lane of Chesterfield to get to Wolsely - I drove under his overhanging board to risk not getting hit by a turning vehicle. As I drove by, he called me a dumbass and said to me "what, you want me to drop my lumber on the road?". No sir, I want you to get out of everyone's way and not impede traffic. But now you just revealed to me that you have no clue how to tie down your fucking lumber.

Not to mention this guy didn't have a red flag on the ends of his 12ft boards that were overhanging his shoddy 6ft aluminum trailer. Additionally, the guy had 2 earbuds in, which IMO, is dangerous while driving.

It's baffling to me that people like this exist - someone who can block traffic, not acknowledge that they blocked traffic, and get mad when people tell them... to not block traffic. Also why drive with earbuds (again - this is my opinion, I think it's dangerous).

And honestly, how does someone not know how to tie down lumber? That might be the worst part of this story. There were 2 12ft 2x6 boards on the 6ft trailer. Fuck bud, you wrap your tie down strap around them once, laterally across your trailer, about 3/4 of the way to the tailgate doors, and secure the strap. The boards aren't going anywhere unless you drive like a maniac. And yes, to those wondering, this guy had proper ratchet straps. He actually had 2 of them. Idk if he used both.... idk if he knew how to use them at all.

It's worth mentioning - had the guy actually given me a wave, like an apology for blocking me, or some sort of acknowledgement, I wouldn't be writing this post. Instead he jumped out of his vehicle, and didn't pay any attention to the fact he was blocking me and the cars behind me, until I honked at him. And his response to my honking was to be hostile and defensive instead of apologizing for impeding traffic. At any point, if he had shown some respect, I would have jumped out and helped him. Unfortunately he chose to be angry that he blocked me from driving.
