Wherever you are, I hope all is well.

(5,254 posts)He said he'd be stepping back a while ago. I believe he's ok, just worn out. Some we can all sympathize with.

(10,183 posts)Living in Wisconsin, with several ties to Minnesota, and a transplant from often basement-less PA, I totally enjoyed his tutorial post on the humble "sump pump."
Being in Wisconsin, I know what a sump pump is, what it does, and what a pain in the butt it is when the sump pump goes out and your husband's gone on a business trip! Mineral man explained it beautifully.
Shout out!

(12,265 posts)I blocked some people over the nasty ageism they were spewing. I am an old broad who has worked my whole life for my party and their candidates. These people who want to bash all boomers are growing old.
Please come back MineralMan...
