Thanks again for the help. Don

What was the ambient air temperature? If the brakes were last done on a warm day, you might experience what you have described on a relatively cool day. I'm not saying this is definitely your problem but it could be. Which leads me to another idea, it might be a good idea to bleed the brakes in the winter, then come spring they would be right crisp.
