Did you have to have a custom made chute because of your weight, or did they give you one that the military uses when they drop vehicles out of planes?

Love the currency @asheland! My first thought was...I wish I knew more about paper currency because I love the artwork on some of those. Then my second thought was, the last thing I need is another thing to collect. I gotta stay focused. Those are beauties though.
Here are a few of my photos taken at and around Neuschwanstein Castle and its neighboring Hohenschwangau Castle including a view of the Alpsee looking out from one of the castle windows.
Some spectators took their eyes off the road and turned their attention to the sky before Monday's race when four HH-60M Air Ambulance Blackhawk Helicopters with the Massachusetts Army National Guard flew over the Boston Marathon route

Can you explain the chart a little. Are the numbers at the top the diameter of the chute?
Hotel bathroom lab?

Question on parachute etiquette.
I know why you call yourself Bi gmark. I've seen a pic of you. You must go about 315 lbs.
