Narrative:

Made gear up landing with small aircraft aircraft on asphalt county highway. Reason for landing was to check my livestock at the farm. Forgot to put landing gear down. Landing was with almost full flaps. Had headwind. Stayed on highway. Aircraft only slid 100 yds. Minor damage. Propeller strike. Reason for forgetting gear was that attention diverted by road signs and being in a hurry.
