Sprinkle a little Iron Out in the wash after it fills, but before it washes. Comes out great!

Good morning guys.
I'm with you Rich, I can't wait for this summer to be over.
This has got to be one of the worst summers ever for heat.

Yes Greg
We used to get a few weeks of this kind of weather but this year we are getting it all F***ING summer.
I am getting a little tired of having to bring 3-4 shirts with me to work every day

Agreed. Unfortunately this same cr@ppy weather was in Indiana (and TN) so we were not able to get out much.

The whole country is dealing with it this year.
When I was in VA one day I had 106* in my truck.
That is the highest I have EVER seen it.

Yeah, I had my AC on max almost the entire time I was away. I'm sure that played into my less than stellar mileage.
