You can also join your Drupal peers and mentors in a couple of places:

- IRC -- #drupal-twin-cities on irc.freenode.net -- to ask questions, propose ideas, socialize. Check out Drupal.org for more info about IRC and Drupal including how to create a new account and connect. Or come to the next local meetup and someone will help you get started.

Drupal Core update from 7.50 to 7.59
Hello Twin Cities Drupal Friends,
Question: Anyone have time to help me with a Drupal Core Update for a basic Drupal 7 site?
I built it for a Minneapolis lawyer friend of mine in 2016 – http://www.coonlawmn.com.
It's on a shared hosting account with cPanel which I can grant you access to and/or the FTP.
I'm willing to pay you your hourly rate or set fee to help me do the updates.
BTW: I'm a Minneapolis based freelance UX Designer – so working with the Core files makes me nervous. Plus, I feel like someone with experience updating core files would be a lot faster than me.

So - I'm biting the bullet and retiring
Interestingly it turns out that shutting down your business that you have run for a while is every bit as difficult as building it.
It's like this - I've hit 65. I'm starting to collect social security. And I have decided to - well, at least slow down. Shutting down the hosting business (and slowly working on moving my clients to other pastures). I'm not taking any new development projects. And my hopes are to have all my servers out of Eau Claire by January, and to just for all intents and purposes stop.
