OK, the Mule started acting strange. How can you tell if the booster for the power brakes is going bad?

I do not hear/see any vacuum leaks, but what I started to experience yesterday on the Mule is when I go to put on the brakes, instead of a easy depression of the pedal, it is rock hard. I REALLY have to push on the pedal HARD to get it to stop. Then it starts to work normal again. Then it acts up again later on, then back to normal.

I have never experienced a bad booster before, so I do not know what to look/at or experience if it is going bad.
