Bob, do you mean Nikon D50 or Canon 5d? Small letters but big difference.
If you intend to wait for a full frame Leica for less than $1000, I fear you 
might need even more than a good chair and a beer. I would take a bed and 
enough clothes for at least two dozens of seasons. Not to talk about a 
cattle full of beef, and all that close to a beer brewery if possible.
