Down here we sometimes refer to a "dry rain." Dry as a waterproof man drowned in a dry creek. So dry the catfish have ticks. Dry to the bone. Dry as a witches titty.Dryish.
Unfortunately, any term describing dryness (or moisture) is subject to a wide range of personal interpretation.
Understood. We still don't have very good terms to nail down what the moisture content is.I prefer all blends 'not wet', but still pliable. If it cracks to shreds or dust when loading it's too dry for me.
