I truly appreciate your insight.

Alun,
Thanks for being patient with me. I think I've got it straight now, although it seems like this would just short the circuit out at the diode:

Ok, what you're telling me seems to go against what I've based my design on. This is how I understood the...
Alun,
Thanks for the fast response. Here is my updated schematic:

I'm assuming you mean the diode on the output pin of the LM555. Is this what you mean by reverse parallel? Also, did I correct my mistake by connecting pin 5 to the ground with the 10nf...
