Out of site out of mind is not a good maintenance procedure. Safety first.

Not yet, although I did go ahead and add some air.  They had a decently-solid feel to them on the garage floor so I just slapped them in place.  I also topped off the oil after I installed the new brake line, but I've gone through a tank of gas since then and need to double-check that as well, plus the brake fluid levels.  Pretty much need to go over everything just to see where I'm at.  Looks like I'll have another good break in the rain on Saturday though.

Once brake pads soak up some oil they are junk. Replace them, they won't get better by themselves.
