Jim, I commend you on the brake job. I found that I couldn't even get through a season without the pads and springs all rusted and the brakes never working properly. So I ended up taking them out, including the parking brake handle which I got tired of tripping over each time I got into the driver seat. Hope the brakes treat you well for the coming season.
 
my boot has a few marks from the e brake also. it is surprising how many don't have working foot brakes.
