I'll check for a blown booster(it's only two years old), otherwise I think the brakes will be alright.
Thanks to everyone that responded
good! every spring ~20 guys do the same thing. Eveybody wants to be sure the brakes are perfect before driving the car at all.
Each and every day i drive i press the pedal as i back out. Can't tell much if anything unless it is moving.

I tend to check the brakes every time I take it for a cruise, especially when it's been sitting for a week or more.

Remember, if it won't go, that's bad, but if it won't stop.....
