That's the beauty of the magnetic selective ride control option for the suspension. She rides like a Cadillac to/from the track and corners like a racecar on the track. That dang Miata is scrambling eggs and shaking martinis over every single pebble in the pavement.
Speaking of reserve, when in a properly staffed category, rolling x days to align days of availability with the largest RAW bucket reduces your chances of being called.

I know I’m not crazy. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that you get PB Days for X Days that are inside your OE Shadow, but I can’t find it in the guides or PWA. Does anybody have a reference they can point me to?

Didn't get PB days for shadow X days (first two weeks after sims), but since not OE complete the next month, PBS awarded me a full reserve schedule in new category, then SKEDS put NOE over the whole month, then when OE was placed on schedule, I did get PB days for any days I flew OE that was originally awarded as X days in PBS.

I think you get PB days for x days in your shadow period that you work on. Not a blanket PB day for every x day in the shadow period.

A two day trip I was assigned on LC was supposed to block in before 2359 (original release was 2152) on my last on call day, but extended into an off day and released at 0250. This was due to a wx divert. Gonna make the call to skeds to inquire but am I due any add’l pay above guarantee, or PB day for flying into the off day? Would be good to be armed with some info before I call them as sometimes the skeds dont always give the most correct answer at first.
Thanks in advance to all!

The 5+15 makes sense because you went past 0200. As far the X day push goes, it won’t be much. Check the Reserve Availability list for the next day you are on call. It should show you starting LC at 0250 instead of 0000. If you don’t have any more on call days this month, you should get a PB day in the bank.
