Nothing to forgive, we all have to learn at some point.

All grounds need to be tied together, so it needs to be connected to all the other grounds. Usually, when the effect is in an enclosure the grounds of the jacks are tied together through the enclosure. When it's not in an enclosure, like you have it, you just need to tie the sleeve of that output jack to the sleeve of the input jack. You can remove that wire later, or use an alligator clip wire if you have one.

Thanks Jacob, at least that's the avenue I was thinking.....  Will give it a try and let you know...

easiest thing might be to ground it to the sleeve of your input jack since you have already grounded it.  or if it is more convenient, any of the three bottom left lugs on your stomp switch that are connected together. those are grounded too.
