Heavy rain starts just after Steve gets back in the Blue Comet at 3:42 pm.  We work on completing our 30  minute break while waiting on fuel authorization to top off the refer tank.  Busy at the Love’s, it ends up difficult to get back into the fuel island.  At this point there was 77 miles left to get to delivery.

Heavy rain starts again at 4:50 pm on I-85 which caused delays due to slowed traffic.
