Yes, you're right. The on-off time is too fast for the meter to register.

I am just trying to achieve a TTL pulsing; 5V, 0V, on/off at different rates. The LED was put in there just for a visual reference, it's not part of my finished circuit.

The purpose of this pulsing of the pic pin is to replace a Schmitt Trigger Pulse Oscillator.

It is working the way I expected "in circuit", but I was just wondering why I couldn't read discreet 5V and 0V on my meter, (taking reading on the bare pin, not resistor or LED).

If I had an Oscilloscope I guess I would see the TTL (I would see the square wave pulse).

I'm starting to see the benefits of an Oscilloscope...

Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it very much.
