Guess I should have. 8 hours 45 min driveway arrival to driveway departure. Livin’ the dream….

Don't mean this to sound unsympathetic in the least. I get the frustration. But... You could say the same thing about being Regular. PBS has an entire manual to learn how to bid, and a failure to learn PBS skills can definitely screw yourself. Once you have your bid, there are other things to learn, like iCrew... Plus Drops, WS proffers, Auto Accept/Ack, Swap Board ops, PD's, APD's, IVD's, PB day washing, etc. Just saying there are big things to 'learn', both major and nuanced, regardless of what system you choose to live in. People tend to get comfortable in one system or another. Not
typically both.
Congrats on your Daughter's wedding. Hope the walk down the aisle and Daddy/Daughter dance were special.
