My mortar mix went soupy on a chimney repair in Denver last Thursday because I misjudged the humidity.
I had to quickly add more sand and lime to save the batch, but has anyone else found a good trick for adjusting on really damp days?

Check your sand before you even start mixing. Was it stored outside or in a bag that could have soaked up moisture? I've been burned by damp sand more than once, and it throws the whole water ratio off from the jump.
