Glad to see you survived your alcohol based brake fluid episode, but as to

ahem!  Compressed air is not good for blowwing out brake lines because 
of it's moisture content -- you'd be far better off using your wife's 
(old) hairdryer and some sort of funnel concoction to direct it into the 
lines.  [Or plug the system and concoct fittings to attach it to an A/C 
vacuum pump -- other ideas for DRY air?]

Blowing out the lines with moisture ladden compressed air is an ideal 
way to contaminate that new brake fluid you are installing.
