Blood Delivery

Its easy to assume that every hospital in the country has an endless supply of blood, which will be enough to cover every emergency that occurs. Unfortunately, this is not the case. As smaller hospitals in more secluded towns and cities are likely to have less local people regularly donating blood, there is a great deal of demand for blooddelivery drivers, who can make sure that there is blood wherever in the country it is most needed. As well as being a source of constant and regular work, this is probably one of the most rewarding self-employed courier jobs out there.

Alcohol and Snacks

This cargo is undoubtedly less urgent than blood deliveries. However, it may not seem that way when youre on the sofa of a Saturday evening, and youve run out of chocolate, or when youre down to the last dregs of a bottle of wine during your dinner party. Fortunately, there is no longer any need to run to the local shop in this situation. Weve all heard of supermarkets that will deliver your weekly groceries to your door, and of restaurants that will deliver your dinner. However, there are now people who will deliver a snack, a packet of cigarettes, a selection of alcohol, and even contraception as and when you need it. In terms of self-employed courier jobs, this type ofdelivery may well be one of the more entertaining, giving you an insight into the various ways in which a Saturday night can end up.

A Party in a Box

So we know what to do when you run out of food and drink at your party, but it seems you can also save yourself a lot of time and effort in the preparations as well. Whether youre throwing a kids party, a birthday party, a baby shower, a hen night, or even a stag do, you can now get the party delivered to you in a box. The packages tend to be themed in one way or another, and include everything you need from invitations, to balloons, to hats, to napkins to paper plates. These are the best types of self-employed courier jobs, as if youre lucky you might even get yourself an invitation to the party.

Christmas Trees

It might not be quite the right time of year for it right now, but this is one thats definitely worth remembering for next year. If you love the idea of having a real Christmas tree, but can never quite get around going out choosing one, digging it up and carting it home, then this type of delivery might be just the thing to make your Christmas. There are people out there who will not only choose your tree for you according to your specifications, but who will dig it up, pot it and deliver it straight to your front door, taking all the hassle out of buying aChristmas tree . Imagine the amount of Christmas cheer you could spread if your self-employed courier jobs involved selecting and delivering Christmas trees.

So if youre tired of delivering the same old things time and time again, why not diversify your deliveries by trying some new self-employed courier jobs. It seems that there are plenty of unusual things that could make for some very different deliveries.

Subcultures can form around almost any aspect of a motorcycle.  They can form around different types of motorcycles, (e.g. “cruisers” or “choppers”).  Or, they can form around the activities associated with motorcycles such as racing or extreme sports like motocross.

One subculture associated with motorcycles is the “tough guy” group. They are easily identified by their “choppers”, their motorcycle of choice.  Harley-Davidson’s are one of the motorcycle brands that are prominent among this subculture.  The distinct sound of their motorcycle engines also makes this group easily recognizable.  The main members of this group tend to usually be middle-aged. 

Another subculture associated with motorcycles is the “mod” or “modification” group.  This group can be considered part of the previous subculture.  This group also prefers “choppers”, mainly for their ability to be easily customized.  The motorcycles that they create are truly works of art.  They come in a wide assortment of colors and frame designs.  Everyday from front forks to mufflers can be customized.  Specialized designs can also be placed on the motorcycles. The members of this group are also usually middle aged.

Another Subculture is the “racing motorcycle” group.  This subculture is also characterized by the type of motorcycles they prefer.  These motorcycles are usually from Asian manufacturers and are designed for racing.  They have highly stylized designs and high acceleration power.  They are built for speed.  The majority of the members of this group are usually young adults.

Yet another group associated with motorcycles is the “extreme sports” group.  This group isn’t necessarily characterized by the type of motorcycle they ride, but rather the activities that they participate in.  These activities include racing and jumping events.  Racing events are the same as on-road races except that there are usually many tight turns and jumps.  The motorcycles they ride have knobby tires and a specially designed suspension to accommodate for these rigorous events.  In jumping events, riders jump off ramps with their motorcycles and perform tricks while in mid-air.  These stunts are very dangerous, although they are quite spectacular, and require years of practice.  The members of this group usually range from teenagers to young adults.

Step 5: Beware of email spam that says “you’re a winner.” Only open up these emails if you have an updated anti-virus. Most sweepstakes will notify you by phone or U.S. mail for that reason. Always better to be safe than sorry.

Best of luck!

Their jackets wield a “Deaths Head” Symbol on it as shown below.

 The colors and yet the shape of this early style jacket seems to be “Copied” from the 85th fighter squadron and the 552nd Medium Bomber Squadron. Apparently to join this Clan the members must be men over the age of 21 and must ride a Harley Davidson Motorcycle.

I got some of my information from Wikipedia.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hells_Angels

We were stationed not more than a twenty-minute bus ride from Juarez Mexico. It’s just across the boarder from El Paso Texas. Jesus, I had always thought El Paso was only in Cowboy stories. But sure enough that’s what the sign said when I got off the plane. As you might expect, Army pay was minimal, a couple of hundred bucks a month and so stretching the dollar was of paramount importance. Therefore Mexico offered a frugal means to explore the rich historical aspects of a foreign country and experience the local customs and culture.

Yea right! We were a bunch of twenty something year olds hell bent for wine women and song however I don’t remember much singing. But it’s true you couldn’t beat the prices; twenty-five cents for a bottle of beer, thirty-five cents for a mixed drink and fifty-two cents for a roasted half chicken dinner with coke. Even on Army pay you could do quite well in Ciudad Juarez.     

That brings me to Carl. He was another draftee doing his time in boredom just like the rest of us. There was nothing unusual about him other than he kept a denim jacket in his footlocker carefully wrapped. These were his “Colors” and they were important to him. It seems our boy Carl envisioned himself as a member of a Chicago Motorcycle Enthusiast Organization named “The Cluchmen”. I had never heard of them at the time but as he defined it, they had a certain affiliation or association with the Hell’s Angels. Now them I have heard of. 

Carl had some good stories, as did we all. These were often related during intoxicated bouts in such wonderful places as: The Cave, The Blue American Club, and The Red Parrot among others. Solid family entertainment establishments all, with a “working staff “ egger to provide comfort for those so far from home (GI’s often need comfort).

Carl’s stories of fun and mischief sometimes bordered on, shall we say, unlawful, insane, dangerous and downright scary business. The general opinion was that these stories were exaggerated and possibly embellished by large quantities of alcohol and drugs. No harm done, by in large Carl was a stand-up guy. Well-mannered, kind to old people and children, the type of guy you might bring home to meet your sister.

One Saturday afternoon a few of us are having a beer down in Juarez at the Indian Club where the girls all wore head bands (Hey, no judgments – My age group all had a thing for Princes Summerfall Winterspring). Outside the sun is hot and the streets are noisy as always but inside it’s cool and quiet. Then, guess who stopped by for a cold one?…….
About thirty Hells Angels bang through the door; boots, chains, beards, Colors and all. The noise level jumps to a gazillion disables immediately. Women run for the back door, the bar tender starts pulling beer bottles out by the handful almost throwing them on the bar and anyone near the front door makes a hasty exit. It was like being in a Marlon Brando Movie. But this was no movie.

Our little group of four is not so lucky. We are seated to the rear away from all doors and windows. I’m thinking, “My weapon is back at the armory but I’m sure these guys brought their own. I hate being the only one in an ax fight without an ax.” Not that there would have been much of a fight given there numbers and size. Some of these guys looked like they eat engine blocks for breakfast.

Then there is Carl. He stands up and is in a dead stare at the Angles. You’ve seen this stare. It’s the same one that a fool gives to a growling Doberman. I immediately start to wonder if our bodies will ever be found. Too late, a few of the Angeles have noticed and are returning the stare. What happened next was fast and without hesitation. There is a Angel right up in front of Carl’s face breathing beer and smoke on him and he immediately reaches behind Carl’s head and crushes him to his chest while yelling, Mother #@*%#@………. He lets him go and kisses the SOB while holding his head between big ugly hands. Carl returns the gesture with a, “How the #@*%#@ are you!” They know each other. I’ll be damned…. and thank you Jesus!

Well, up to the bar the bunch of us go, me checking my pants for wet spots. Introductions all around but I swear I don’t remember any of their names to this day. Learned a few interesting things about various symbols and badges on Angel Colors, whatever modesty I have prevents me from going into that here.

Found out that Angels also respect military service. They all do it or at least they all did it back then. The Marine Corps was apparently full of them. Thank God a few of them saw through Carl’s short hair and civilian dress. I suppose it was not that uncommon for them to run into associates doing there service time. Carl, who could almost pass for the boy next door flips like a switch. Everything changes, facial expressions, posture, even the sound of his voice. Talk about The Three Faces of Eve! Other than a clean shave and the dorky haircut he blended right in.
After a few more beers Carl left with them and we didn’t see him for the rest of the weekend. He got back to base Monday morning none the worse for ware. He was happier than usual for a few weeks after that. I guess he got his fix of the life he had put on hold. As for the rest of us that were with him that day a mental note was made by all not to introduce Carl to our sisters or anyone else’s sister for that mater. 

The next time he came back from leave he brought his bike back with him. Since I had a license and some experience on a big bike he let me ride it a few time. The thing was awesome; Chopped Triumph, Ape Hangers and the chrome and sound to go with it. Talk about riding a thunderbolt. That picture on the side is Carl in his Colors. I have no right to show his face so I cropped it out. I ETS’d (Got out of the Army) before him so I don’t know for sure what he planned to do when he got out. I can only assume he went back to the life he missed so much. I hope he met a nice girl, sold the bike and had a family, never letting his kids have a motorcycle. He was a good friend to me during that time and I can only wish him well.
