RMC List - Brake failure

[Marc Miller]

Hello to all,
After hanging out with Larry Yoder last eve at the Longmont Sonic meet up I
had a complete loss of brakes while driving home. I was halfway home when I
stepped on the brake approaching a light and noticed the pedal seemed to
travel about an inch further than normal. By the next two stops the pedal
was to the floor. I limped it home on back roads by shifting down,
limping up to lights and stop signs, timing green lights, and using the
parking brake. When home I looked under the car and did not see fluid leak
at any of the wheels or brake lines, no leaks at the interior firewall at
the master, no leaks in the trunk at the master, and the master still had
3/4 full fluid. Would you suspect a failed master cylinder? I'm looking for
an easy fix, that I assume is not likely, as I had hoped/planned to drive
my car to Jerry's service tomorrow.
