George, what is your timer interval, do you clear it in the Timer event, and remember to re-set it on completion? I know these are "fool" level of questions - but what the heck ;-)

Houston, not 'fool' level at all :)

The interval right now is 30 seconds (15000 ms) for testing. No, I don't clear it in the timer event. Do I need to do that?
