On the side that was causing the problem, yes the hub is only slightly warm
after a 10 mile trip. Didn't check the other side, I still suspect some
brake drag as the pads I put on last summer are down about 40%. The
calipers move freely. Hoses?

And then later:
Loren suggested parking brake dragging. NOPE!
Peter said parking brake or time to rebuild caliper. NOPE!
It was easier than I thought to fix this problem. While checking out
what Loren and Peter said I noticed the half-axle bolt on the passenger
side was loose and the half-axle was jiggling around near the hub, (is
"jiggling" a good automotive term?) I tightened and torqued the bolt,
and now I have no more squeaky something.
Did the rear hubs cool down??
