My request is for any hints or guidance to any changes to driving the rig by itself versus rig plus toad. I think I am OK with the connecting & disconnecting the system.

The biggest thing in my mind is that you can't back up. (Well, you can, but....). When I first started towing my toad, I got myself into a couple of spots where the only way out was to back up.
Once it was a straight back and we did it by very carefully going straight back with a walker keeping an eye on the toad.
Other times we have had to disconnect. On my setup that probably 5 minutes.
You have to learn not to get yourself into those situations.
Good luck,
