1st at home oil change

I just did my first at home oil change. And there is a fair chance I didn't screw it up.
The wallyworld filter was a little longer than the one I took off so I couldn't use the same little end cap wrench adapter thing that I used to get the filter off. I had an oil filter wrench and I think I got it back on tight enough.
I didn't take off and clean the little screen because we have a ride this Sunday and I won't have time to get a new o-ring for that since I didn't think ahead. But I will pick some up so they are at the ready next time.
This will get me through the rest of this riding season.
Over the winter I'll find out how well I can follow instructions as I hope to take her apart and get her painted. And if that goes to crap I may be looking for a volunteer to fly out and put Humpty Nomady back together again.
