Thanks, that's what I thought. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing
anything. The pressure stays up and the fluid doesn't flow unless the pedal
is pumped. I'm baffled and the brakes are pretty much non-functional now.
I do enjoy the dad thing, most of the time. It always seems to be better to
observe from a distance though, especially when they don't know that you're
watching. That's when you find out who they are to the rest of the world.
