Thank you for the suggestions, but now I'm not so certain it's a caliper issue.
I jacked up the rear end, removed the wheels. The right wheel is dragging for sure. Released the bleeder screw but not much improvement, but I can also easily push the pads (and pistons) in a little with my finger tips, even with the bleeder screw closed. Brake fluid is clean and clear like I just bled them and didn't have any issues bleeding the brakes. Now I'm thinking maybe it's wheel bearing time? And the left rear wheel is definitely sounding strange when I spin it. They both don't spin real easy or smooth. Didn't see the E brake idea so didn't check that one yet, but I don't really use the E-brake (FL car) so maybe not that either? Arrgh the agony of the shade tree mechanic - not enough experience to really know what's going on if it's not smack me in the face painfully obvious....maybe it's some or all of the above....
