Melborne,

Whatever you do (or don't do), check your brake fluid reservoir every
day, to make sure you're not losing some of that fluid somewhere (like
into one of the brake drums)

Do the 'lamp test' as well to be sure your dash lights will give you
some warning in advance.... It's in your owner's manual.
