Narrative:

I was taking the plane out for some currency flying. I started at ZZZ and did a few laps around the pattern there just to get the feel of the airplane again after not flying that aircraft for a few months. After I felt fairly comfortable; I opted to head over to ZZZ1 to do a few landings since it was nearby and is an interesting approach and landing. I did two landings there; then went for the third trip around the pattern (which I decided would be my final one there for the day; which it; ironically; turned out to be anyway).on the third landing; I was very focused on maintaining a very stable approach practicing a 'short field' landing. I very much remember selecting my aim point and focusing on airspeed and sink rate. There are trees at the approach end of the runway; so I needed to be sure to clear those. I must have not checked the landing gear indicator since; as I rolled into what seemed to be a very nice flare; I continued to sink until I struck pavement. I did not hear a landing gear warning horn; and after the fact; I noticed the landing gear circuit breaker had popped. I attempted to maintain directional control for a moment while the ruddervators still had some authority. I slid for a bit then came to rest on the right side of the runway.once the aircraft stopped sliding; I then was trying to figure out what just happened; then realized that wasn't really important right now and intentionally broke myself out of that thought process in case there was a fuel leak. I shut off mixture; fuel; mags; and master and exited the aircraft. After that I made all the appropriate phone calls; arranged a NOTAM to be filed; and arranged for the aircraft to be removed from the runway.I think the trouble was when I turned crosswind and then downwind too soon; so I reached pattern altitude right at about where I would normally start configuring for landing. Then I pulled the power back to stop the climb; while putting the gear down (or so I thought). I believe this reduction in climb while putting the gear down gave the false sensation the gear was extending. Since I was so tunnel-visioned; I don't think the following detail matters much; but the circuit breakers are hidden during flight by a small panel. Contributing; I'm sure; is that I normally fly a (fixed gear) C182.

Title: BE35 pilot reported a gear up landing. The gear lever had been selected down; but the gear CB was popped and the gear did not extend.
