The other day, I was grinding some fish for my cat,
trying to filter out the bones with a 2 mircon coffee
filter attached to a Waring XL2300 blender on puree
setting, powered from 120VAC on a single leg 30amp
breaker fed from a 15amp shore power cord, which is
plugged into an outlet shared with a soda machine that
sells Bolivian beer. Although the breaker didn't trip,
my cat wouldn't eat the food.
So I'm wonder if the list can recommend a better set
up. My dock neighbor has suggested a 12vdc blender
plugged through a cigarette lighter outlet, but then I
think I should use a 20 micron filter, to lessen the
dc load, unless you think I should just feed the stuff
to my neighbor's dog though a 5/8" garden hose. My
mechanic says the problem is I'm taking power from the
2000 watt inverter, which overloads the system, and
suggested I try a vacuum instead of a blender, but I
can't seem to figure out how to plug the inverter into
my racor vacuum gauge, which would replace the 20
micron coffee filter. My wife has a Hoover vacuum, but
that won't run on the inverter unless I'm making
coffee at the same time, but then we don't have enough
filters for the blender, so not only does the cat get
hungary, but the breaker trips on the genset,
especially when the Hoover gets clogged with cat hair.
I've bled the Waring and the Hoover, but still the cat
won't touch the food. We've even tried coffee grounds
in the racor, but then the genset runs like crap, and
I only get about 92volts AC from that.
hope the list can make some meaningful suggestions.

ps: the Bolivian beer soda machine is next to a ping
pong table. Do you think I should move the table
farther away from the outlet?
