Narrative:

I was going on a pleasure flight with a friend. First I had to get the plane jumped to get it started. I then did normal stuff before takeoff (lights, runup etc). I had just went through the pattern and was coming around for a landing. I did my gumps, add 10 degrees flaps, I had 3 greens, but they were not as bright as usual, but they indicated that they were down. I came in to land. I kept flaring and flaring. I heard a loud noise. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground sliding down the runway. All I could do was keep it straight as much as possible until it came to a complete stop. There was no substantial damage except to the bottom of the plane and the propeller. I got my passenger out, turned everything off, and got out. The people in the office helped put it up on its gear and we rolled it off and parked it. No one was hurt during or afterwards, just a little shaken up.
