This is exactly what is wrong with the idiots in Congress pissing away trillions. If you want to go to school, get a part time job to help pay your own way. I don't want to pay for some lazy ahole to lay on my back.
Season with Zataran's Cajun mix and garlic powder. Put some olive oil in a black iron skillet until it starts to smoke. Cook abouty 2 minutes on each side.

I had my MARLIN 444S lever action done with the stainless on metal and black finish on the stock, It came out very nice. I used it this hunting season with no issues. Very pleased with the finish.
