Warning: Been laying bricks with too wet mortar for 20 years

My neighbor Bob, a mason for 40 years, saw me mixing last week and said my mud was soupier than a rainy ditch. He showed me the right mix and my last 50 bricks went up way cleaner. Anyone else have an old timer call out something you didn't know was wrong?

Yikes, that's a rough 20 year realization!

Did you just figure it out now or did something trigger it?

Yeah @david_jones38 that hurt but switching to a drier mix fixed everything fast.
