Brakes - next step, vacuum booster

Tonight I deglazed the front disks and pads, then did the same on the rear shoes and drums.  I also reversed one side of the self adjusting fork which I hope makes a difference.

Probably most important was that I believe I eliminated a vacuum leak in the brake booster vacuum line.  In the engine compartment there was a junction with a crappy gasket.  I removed it and added new hose.  Then took my small vacuum tester and pulled 200psi for a good hour (it's still on now and I'll check in the morning).  I'm hoping that it still holds b/c this SHOULD mean that my booster is fine.
