Just picked it up and the brakes feel great and grippy..... but the first pedal-push is smooshy and close to the floor.  The second pedal push seems to "pump it up" and feel higher.  Ideas, suggestions?

Pistol bypass in the master cylinder is the usual cause of this phenomenon.  Master cylinder needs to be rebuilt or replaced.  Or possibly bypass in the wheel cylinders, in which case BrakeMasters owes you.

Not really safe.
