Anyone know why Googlebot is doing this?

No site map on that site (it is not a well designed site) no public stats.

I think Google must have picked it up via the toolbar, because I have seen Google index my sites before a single link is up. And I did hit that page hard for a couple of hours while I perfected the script for the pop up. What I cannot see is why Google would want to keep checking it over.

It auto refreshes and picks one of five sites at random to auto refresh to. So the only thing I can think of is that Google still does not understand meta refresh (it used to see the content of the page refreshed to, as the content of the page doing the refresh) I thought they fixed that years ago, but if they have not, it may see each refresh as an update, and assume I have updated the page every time they visit, so think I update often, and keep re-visiting to keep re-indexing the updates!

But that does not make sense, because it would make their programmers idiots, and Google would not have become as big as it is if it's indexing made these stupid mistakes!
