OK. I did 2 rounds of the "yell at your wife" method of brake bleeding,  Got
allot of air out.  The brakes feel like they do whenever I have gotten the
van back from any of my mechanics in the past. That meaning the pedal goes
down as far as it always has and a little pumping the brakes firms them up a
bit.  This my third master cylinder BTW and my brakes have always shown this
behavior.  They've always firmed up a bit when pumping.  Maybe I'll try
bleeding again this weekend.  Also, the brakes don't feel "great" because I
have new pads up front and need to wear them in a bit.

Thanks,
Bryan
